    New week, new improvements: 140% faster encryption speed on macOS
  • From the AMA, someone suggested

    Yeah some Up/Download + simple management API would be really nice. Since Proton is loved a lot among programmers, I'm very sure there'll be a lot of people in the community to create some implementation their own (including me)

    And Andy(CEO) replied

    This is actually good/important input. We went this direction with Proton VPN on Linux and the first version was a community built version which as OK. Eventually, we had to take the effort in-house to ensure it was sufficiently well maintained and keeping up with the latest features, but it was still a goo way to get started. We will indeed consider this for Proton Drive also, although it is a more complicated product (includes complex parts like sync engine and version conflict resolution logic, etc). -Andy

    Also, when pointed about Henry,Andy replied

    Yes, we know Henry, he should have access to the API specs/docs and he has a direct line of communication with us. -Andy

    So all hope is not i would say. And i would prefer rclone and apps based over than than electron wrappers tbh.

  • Reading the STF news feels exciting after a few weeks of them not present. It makes me so happy that GNOME and Libadwaita, along with flatpaks are attracting a lot of developers into contriibuting and experimenting their ideas.

  • When opening / saving files, you’ll now be presented with a window similar to the main window of Files. The new file picker is actually part of Files, so it utilizes a lot of existing code. It’s also adaptive, and a lot more open for changes than the one built into GTK.

    GNOME Mutter Lands Support To Transform sRGB To HDR Outputs
  • Tbh, this is just one of the many things that will lead to stable HDR support. But its nice to see these get solved one step at a time.

    5
  • This branch implements support for transforming SDR (sRGB) to a HDR enabled output, while allowing HDR content to stay intact.

    Roughly what it does is, when HDR mode is enabled via the experimental property, all the stage views that represents outputs where HDR actually managed to be enabled starts to composite in a linear variant of the target color space (which will be BT.2020) via an intermediate framebuffer. Each thing being painted should then transform its pixels to fit in this color space, using an EOTF, a color space mapping matrix and luminance adaptation.

    Here is the merge request

    Share your feedback on the AI services experiment in Nightly - Mozilla Connect
  • Nightly can be configured by advanced testers to use custom prompts and any compatible chatbot, such as llamafile, which runs on-device open models, including open-source ones. We are excited for the community to share interesting prompts, chatbots, and models as we make this a better user experience. We are also looking at how we can provide an easy-to-set-up option for a private, fully local chatbot as an alternative to using third-party providers.

    I think they could've waited until they properly tried implementing a local llm. Anyway glad to know that we have options and gonna try this.
