Boards as in breadboards, I guess. That title assumes the reader will have a certain context.

I got excited thinking it was about managing board activity for nonprofits formed by developers.

Still, seems like a nice tool for people who do breadboarding!

OBS could do that, I suppose. Add a screen capture source, and place a color source behind it sized 10px larger than the screen capture rect. Hit record.

Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.

I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.

Haven’t watched the video since it’s on YouTube, but I hope this means they’ll start adding features at some point soon after the rewrite is finished. It would be really nice to be able to more easily configure bridged networking in a VM, for instance.

Whatever distro you pick will have instructions for where and how to install the drivers, if it doesn’t do so for you during the install. Ubuntu is probably most likely to do so easiest. I prefer Fedora for other reasons, which is also easy to get nvidia working, but sightly less easy than Ubuntu where it’s a single checkbox during OS install.

This is cool! I’m almost more interested in the underline gaps for descenders that got snuck in as a “oh yeah I did this too” feature. That makes underlined text so much easier to read, IMO.

It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it’s far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:

an application that adjusts the computer display’s color temperature based upon the time of day.

It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.

This looks interesting, but I don’t understand what it’s for. I read through the readme, but came out none the wiser. What exactly is a compose sequence?

My doctor’s weird video chat doesn’t work in Firefox (and even in Chrome it’s barely functional probably because it hasn’t been updated since before the pandemic), but other than that singular example, everything else works fine. I think most people parroting complaints about Firefox just haven’t used it recently enough to realize that it’s fine in 99.9% of cases.

I’ve been using Mailspring for both personal and business email, it seems like a decent UI so far, and it functions as you’d expect: runs at login, sits in the tray, notifies when new email comes in, etc. It’s open source and free, unless you need their “pro” features.

Possibly some people will be annoyed that it’s an Electron app, but it launches and runs more responsively than Thunderbird ever has on my machines, so I don’t find that to be a problem. I would rather a Gnome native app, but I’m not aware of any that function well, as OP laments.

Connect has instance filters, which you can use to block entire servers like you mentioned. I have actually used it to block hexbear, myself.

All those apps work fine for me, but I live in a heavily populated urban area, so I imagine the quality of data is probably pretty high here. Magic Earth is by far the best experience, IMO, but I like the extreme customizability of OSMAnd+ (no idea what the + is for though, is there another version that is not as extra?)

I wonder, if you’re having issues with map quality, you might be able to help yourself and everyone else around your area by using the StreetComplete app and/or the OSM website to submit corrections. The changes you make should take effect almost immediately in any app you prefer.
