tun, to linux in Mozilla Firefox 119 Is Now Available for Download, Here's What's New

If you’re migrating your data from Chrome, Firefox now offers the ability to import some of your extensions as well.

Nice.

ouch, to linux in Mozilla Firefox 119 Is Now Available for Download, Here's What's New

I would just rather see direct link than blogspam:

Tetsuo,

Exactly, especially since the article is basically just reading the changelog and jumping from random additions without any logic.

Secret300,

Thank

I didn’t realize Firefox let you add text to PDFs already!

This is the beta. The full release is tomorrow.

everett, to linux in How To Upgrade Raspberry Pi OS to Debian Bookworm from Bullseye

This should address the official recommendation that users don’t update from Bullseye to Bookworm, but instead do a fresh install. But no, just a low-effort how-to.

Basically, it’s the same upgrade procedure as Debian’s with the added step of editing rasp.list.

The best part about this update is that you can actually watch youtube videos in VLC again.

I’m waiting for the update that makes the UI UX actually nice

Learn how Waydroid users improve VLC's UI with this one weird trickInstalling the Android version

(Jk, but the Android UI really does look much nicer out of the box since it has to follow some semblance of design guidelines)

Someone with relatively little technical skills could do that type of work. Give it a shot!

Franzia,

This sort of attitude is completely new to me and so awesome. Like I can just contribute to software? 🤯

I have choice words for the UI/UX of most Matrix clients. And they’re open source!

atetulo,

Good. Those things need work.

But expect a lot of your complaints to fall on deaf ears unless you’re willing to do the work yourself.

A lot of people in the open source ecosystem really don’t understand good design.

VLC, however, is one that does.

Franzia,

I really like design! Little buttons and colors and all those bits of tweaking. I’ve been looking more at projects on Lemmy to see how their UIs are coded, but I think the tools and frameworks all sorta run back to HTML/CSS/JavaScript so like if I learned that then I’d understand how to use Qt, PyQt, or Kotlin. Idk. I think designers tend to contract themselves to capital so the idea of an open source UI developer sounds goofy, but fun.

QuazarOmega,

How? They would have to know C/C++, Qt, QML; then learn how to navigate the codebase, compile the software and debug it.
All that is very technical

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU, (edited )

Far less technical than AV1 support with software rendering, very little technical skills relatively.

ReakDuck,

Its still a high technical skill you ask there. Its just a different field

QuazarOmega, (edited )

Uh sure, relatively, but for someone who doesn’t even know how to program that’s relatively a super tall order, I don’t know their background, but the activity itself definitely isn’t low technical requirements in absolute terms, if instead you meant UI concept design, then it would have been more plausible

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU,

Good thing I just clarified it was relatively, not sure why you felt the need to type this comment

prole, (edited )

I had to get a plug-in to add click to play/pause so it’s like almost every streaming site. Also, I don’t believe there’s a way to get it to automatically play the next video file in the folder after one video finished, without making a playlist.

Small gripes, I know. I’m coming from MPC on Windows so I miss some of those features.

atetulo,

Looks great to me.

That update has existed nearly since VLC was made. It is called custom skin. VLC allows to use skins.

Darken, (edited )
@Darken@reddthat.com avatar

Customization is great however most people barely open any of the menus even tho they contain treasures

In any case, the current UI is not bad by any means

TheAnonymouseJoker,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

I do not care about the UI unless it is incomprehensibly ugly and intolerable, or has missing key buttons I need. VLC does not have that problem, and my UI demands are very low unless its a complex software like file manager or video/audio/photo editing tool.

NFS Heat is finally playable on my 6800 XT, so I’m very happy

MonkderZweite, to linux in Krita 5.2 Brings Animation and Text Handling Improvements, Built-In FFmpeg

built-in ffmpeg

Why that? Parameters and functionality dont exactly change much between versions in ffmpeg.

Gebruikersnaam,

My guess would be because they also ship to Mac/Windows.
