KDE Plasma 6.5 Adds Low Ink Notifications to Save Wasted Print Job


I don’t remember the last time I used a printer, let alone owned one (does that make me weird?), but I do remember printer ink running out mid-job being a major frustration. That irritation is something KDE developers will address in the next major update to the Plasma desktop environment. KDE Plasma 6.5 is in development and will, among other planned changes, bring a small change to alert you when your printer is low on ink. The code-commit suggest the threshold is set for either at or below 3%. CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) already checks ink marker levels and stores marker-levels values in […]

Euphonica


Euphonica — это новый клиент для Music Player Daemon (MPD), написанный на Rust. Разработанный Huỳnh Thiện Khiêm, он сочетает функциональность с визуальной эстетикой. Проект ориентирован на пользователей, ценящих современный дизайн без ущерба для функциональности MPD.
Ключевые особенности:


Чистый GTK4/libadwaita интерфейс с анимациями и размытием фона.


Поддержка MPRIS, асинхронного поиска и управления плейлистами.


Загрузка метаданных (обложки, тексты песен) из внешних источников.


Визуализатор спектра, индикаторы качества звука (Lossy/Lossless/Hi-Res/DSD).


Гибкие настройки, включая автоматическую цветовую тему на основе обложки.


Пока Euphonica находится в бета-версии и стабильного релиза на Flathub нет. Однако есть сборки для Nixpkgs и AUR. На GitHub также приведена инструкция по компиляции через GNOME Builder и созданию собственного Flatpak-пакета.

Опубликован выпуск библиотеки SVT-AV1 3.1.0 (Scalable Video Technology AV1) c реализациями кодировщика и декодировщика формата кодирования видео AV1, для ускорения которых задействованы присутствующие в процессорах x86_64 и ARM расширения для аппаратного распараллеливания вычислений. Проект создан компанией Intel в партнёрстве с Netflix с целью достижения уровня производительности, пригодного для перекодирования видео на лету и применения в сервисах, отдающих видео по запросу (VOD). В настоящее время разработка ведётся под эгидой альянса Open Media (AOMedia), курирующего развитие формата кодирования видео AV1. Ранее проект развивался в рамках проекта OpenVisualCloud, который также разрабатывает кодировщики SVT-HEVC и SVT-VP9. Код распространяется под лицензией BSD.

Testing New Linux Kernels on Ubuntu is About to Get Easier


Canonical has announced a major change in its kernel strategy for Ubuntu development builds, committing to package new upstream kernels, not only the kernel planned to ship in the final, stable release. How is this different to what went before? Previously, development versions of Ubuntu would use the same kernel included in the preceding stable release for a significant chunk of the development cycle, only switching over to the target kernel version later in the cycle, usually ahead of Kernel Freeze. In its announcement, the Canonical Kernel Team states: “We aim now to deliver not only the latest kernel release […]

Firefox Add-Ons Website Redesign Gives Your Scroll Wheel Purpose


If you go visit the Firefox Add-Ons website today you’re sure of a slight surprise: a modest revamp to the layout of extension listing page. Mozilla has refreshed the way extension listings looks on addons.mozilla.org (aka AMO). The rejig won’t blow the socks off visitors, nor leave anyone compelled to install whatever browser bolt-on they’ve stumbled upon, but it’s makes certain information easier to glean. As spotted by gHacks, the new layout continues to convey all of the same information the previous design did, but shuffles the order of elements, drops the sidebar, and gives add-on screenshots more prominence. Ratings […]
