  1. New version of Mailove - the fast KDE-only mail client released.

    Largely improved spam heuristics (50+ rules), some UI improvements and bug fixes.

    github.com/nekromoff/mailove

  2. It sucks when an app could not be made available on #Flathub/as #Flatpak due to wtv incompatibility reasons that Flatpaks somehow still cannot/haven't address, but it sucks more when an app used to work as a Flatpak, but for wtv reason no longer does. In this case, #RaspberryPi Imager.

    I'm sorry but
    #AppImage simply isn't and will never be an option. I know some devs prefer that, but AppImage as a format just seems too hacky and clunky, needing manual management of it and such. Might as well just install from your distro's package manager, though that isn't ideal for various other reasons. All in all, I just wish for Flatpaks to be able to cater to 'every app under the sun'.

  3. New Mailo version released - the fast KDE-only email client

    Mostly bug fixes for 20ms UI responsiveness rule:

    I played with Gravatar profile images for senders, but removed it from the UI and disabled the code due to potential privacy issues. Maybe I will introduce BIMI later instead.

  6. Hm, so there is not a clear, straightforward way to build AppImage in a user-friendly style.

    What a strange way to define format, but not provide any tools... If Timothy Berners-Lee defined a format, but didn't build a server/browser, nobody would use his early web.

    Linux people have lot to learn.

    PS: Yes, bunch of people have built their AppImage builders that don't work (tried 3 (!) of them).

  8. 💻 tuiStore aduce un magazin de aplicații modern direct în terminalul tău Linux!

    Dacă îți place eficiența liniei de comandă, dar îți lipsește o interfață grafică pentru a descoperi și explora pachete noi, tuiStore este soluția ideală.

    ✨ Principalele funcționalități:

    📦 Suport multi-format:
    • Permite gestionarea aplicațiilor din formate populare precum Flatpak, Snap sau AppImage, dar și din managerii tradiționali de pachete.

    ⚙️ Comenzi rapide și operare facilă:
    • Instalare, dezinstalare și actualizare de pachete printr-un singur buton/scurtătură de tastatură.
    • Vizualizare rapidă a dependențelor și a detaliilor despre versiuni.

    FYI there's a big trouble these days with synchronization between the FlatHub version (3.6.xx) and the new 3.7.xx version on smartphone.

    It seems that the #Flathub version is not the official one and you choose only #AppImage installation (weird choice indeed).

    I hope the people who are responsible for the Flathub version are soon to be advised!

  10. I just noticed that the Signal messaging app (@signalapp, signal.org) finally has an official AppImage binary to support all Linux distros 👍

    I installed it. It seems to work fine, but I didn't sync the QR Code with my phone yet.

    I had been using the Signal RPM binary provided by openSUSE, but availability of this ended after Fedora 43.

  12. Dear people who distribute AppImage builds of their software:

    Have you ever considered that since an AppImage is a squash filesystem, that archiving only this file doubles the amount of hard drive space required for download and extraction, even if only temporarily? If a README or other documentation needs to be included, that is one thing, but please stop archiving only the AppImage itself.

  15. Sembra che xdg-desktop-portal stia diventando problematico e dipendente da systemd e/o un desktop environment completo.

    Dopo i grattacapi su Arch Linux, risolti con un aggiornamento, ora su Void non riesco ad uscirne.

    La wiki non specifica di compiere altri passi oltre all'installazione di almeno un backend, non trovo servizi da abilitare, eppure i programmi non riescono ad interfacciarsi col portale. Consigli o alternative?

  16. Well; I let #Nixos for some reasons like update, upgrade not so simple as #apt or #pacman, hard or impossible to run #Appimage because tree structure and other stuffs I dislike. Going to discover #Nitrux.

  17. Very pleased to see that for Desktop is now also available as an (official) !

  18. Official Signal Desktop #AppImage is now available:

    Personally, I prefer #flatpak. Also I would highly appreciate official Signal Desktop for #aarch64.
