Our Matrix server did not work for at least a couple of hours. Do not know why. Restarted the service. Now all works fine.... #tromlive
Flatpaks + Adwaita....such a mess
Look at this:
Is this Windows you ask? No. It is Linux. These are 4 video players. All of them installed from flathub. They are flatpaks. Top left seems to be using a Plasma design/theme. Even the font is from that universe. Right top uses the Elementary OS design. Bottom left is the "awesome" new libadwaita pushed by Gnome. Finally, bottom right corner uses the system's theme after we hacked flatpaks to do just that.
So even with the hack we are trying, it only works for some flatpaks.
I don't like what's happening on the linux desktop... #tromlive
We are working on something that will make all (or at least most) flatpaks respect the system's theme. It is unbelievable that we have to do these. The people behind these projects should understand that respecting the system's preferences is a must, else we end up with apps that have a different position of window buttons, or different number or ordering of them; a different theme, and different functionalities of the window itself.
We want TROMjaro to be functional and sane. If you install an app from AUR, or repos, or flathub, they should bloody respect your system's preferences. But it is difficult and maybe not sustainable to keep on hacking these things....
It is beyond me why the people from gnome or flathub do not consider much the usability of these apps. Or only consider that in a very narrow environment, that of flatpaks or gnome. But how about Linux as a whole? ....

Oh and I see flatpaks that use libadwaita....hahaha. That's a total enclosure of an app that gives no fucks about your system's preferences. We already have to manually fix libadwaita....and then fix flatpaks....but now to fix flatpaks that use libadwaita....is just ridiculous.

I'll have to say it again. If you consider NFTs as beyond idiotic, you are right, they are. But so is any digital stuff that's behind paywalls or restricted or sold. Music, videos, games, you name it. 0 and 1 that can be endlessly replicated, can only be forced to be scarced, else they would be abundant.

The beauty of TROMjaro: I see this article about a cool new app - System Monitoring Center. Now I open the Add/Remove Software and search for it:
It is there. I click install, apply, insert the password. And done. Installed in less than a minute. And it also respects TROMjaro's themes and all that:
It is beyond me why aren't most Linux distros like this. A single software center (no more download deb or rpm's like windows users from random websites) + QT and GTK themes syncing so that your desktop looks neat and consistent.
Don't give the wrong impression to new users that Linux needs to make use of the terminal and so forth. People want a click and install workflow. :P

Wait until libadwaita kicks in and starts breaking everyone's themes, that's a real pain in the ass.
I hope someone find a way around these issues, linux users are usually into customization so they might find a solution.
I personally don't care that much about theming, I use a window manager and I just want things to work, that's all. But I still want apps to respect my dark mode though......

We have scheduled over 70 new trade-free apps for our TROMjaro Library here https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ . One app a day. For the next 2+ months. If you want to get notifications for that, see https://www.tromjaro.com/follow/ .We have over 650 trade-free apps in our library. #tromlive

I had to cancel my Mega account. It simply did not work...I have way too many files. Millions of files, 8-9TB of them, constantly changing. And the Megasync client could not handle it. I had to contact the New Zealand consumer protection to kinda force Mega to fully refund me. I am waiting for the full refund these days.
Then I will use the entire amount to find a way to backup all of the files in the cloud. Will update about the situation. Mega seem great since it is encrypted and all that, but well...it did not work and their technical support could not fix the issue so what can I do? Pay for online backups when their client breaks every single day and I have ti kill it from processes some 5 times every day to be able to sync some stuff. And if I skip 1 day of this, it would take ages to sync and freeze even more.
So yah....I will look at Borg as a solution to sync Yunohost from one server to another, and then maybe buy another Mega account that's much cheaper to backup my computer files since they are not in the millions.
Will see. #tromlive

Spent all day today adding new apps to our tromjaro trade-free directory...added 61...I still have some 10 more to maybe add. The to schedule them one a day. So you have to understand these are apps that I install and test on tromjaro and make sure they work and are trade-free. I then make an individual page for each. I take screenshots of the apps in tromjaro, add description, link to the source code, and link to the install package. Takes time. Plus keywords...plus making icons...
But yah almost done... I hope to finish it tomorrow so for the next 2 months I won't be bothered much with TROMjaro except with a few releases.

I am adding some 70 new apps to our tromjaro apps library. Some very useful ones. It may take me a day or two. Maybe more!? I make screenshots for them all on tromjaro + add description + install button + more. So takes some time....but I wanted to do this for months now. And since I could not get help with making the icons, I eventually made them myself. After I add them I have to schedule them one a day. That's what I'm doing these days.

I made some TROM II progress today. Figured some ways to make the project open faster and work better. I have split it for the second part. Started the work on the second part too. All good.
I've also made some 50 new icons for new trade-free apps that I'm gonna add to TROMjaro. Tomorrow I will finish them all, around 80 in total. So I can add some 100 or so new trade-free apps to tromjaro. Finally! If I can't find someone to help with the icon making, I'll do it. I realized I'm quite good at that. 50 icons in 2-3 hours.
Productive day. Good job boy Tio! Keep on doin' it! #tromlive

Yes, I know you're good at designing stuff π
Can you tell me which program people use to design these stuff ? Gimp or inkscape or krita or blender ? I'm confused....

I live in a small town of like 3000 people and doesn't make a difference haha. My needs are very modest but it doesn't matter when the financials do not cover it.
and I lived for 5 years in a village with a population of 600 people and there were not much expenses different from urban ones. only in a remote forest village, my family of 5 people and I were able to live for the first year on an income of $ 150 per month. Now, of course, the income is already many times more, but the expenses are minimal: communication, electricity, Internet, products. And that's it))

We can't expect people to invest time in reading all of your books, so TROM II is really useful.
Also, I feel like this is what you're good at. You're a content creator and this is "your thing", haha. Honestly, you're a very good educator, I've learned a lot from your books/videos or even just talking with you :)

There might be a nasty but with the latest tromjaro ISO that wont let you install it.... :/ . I am creating a new ISO now but can only check it tomorrow probably...ported some bad configs to calamares....sorry....at least that's what I think it is... #tromlive
A new TROMjaro ISO is out with some great changes/improvements. The post is huge - forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-β¦ . New and more modern theme, new Layout Switch with 5 layouts and a fix for the stupid libadwaita. Plus @Future is FOSS made our terminal super duper cool. Tomorrow I won't be home most of the day so I hope all of the release notes are ok, but I doubt....I had way too many things to keep an eye on and take notes about..
Also I changed the TROMjaro.com homepage a bit to reflect the new changes - tromjaro.com/
And the entire website's colors....was difficult. To reflect the new theme because our website and OS are having the same design.
Lots of work today :D. Ok. I love TROMjaro. Bye. #tromlive
TROMjaro 2022.01.17
With this update we are moving to a new and better theme, and we are solidifying our Layout Switch app to include several layouts. A new theme This is how TROMjaro looks like now: This is the first time we are changing the default theme.TROMjaro Forum

I was unable to work on TROM II for the past weeks since Kdenlive doesn't work well anymore. But I work with the developers to find a fix. The project is too big...I will wait a few more days then I will have to see how to get back to it. Maybe I will split the project.
But I did a lot of work for TROMjaro. We will ship the next ISO with a bran new theme. More modern and sleek. And much better adapted for XFCE. Plus we will ship with 4 layouts:
And a graphical layout switcher so you can easily choose between them.
We will also push a fix for the stupidity of libadwaita. We will force the apps that use this library and break the system's consistency, to still use the system's theme. Thanks to @Future is FOSS !
Plus a few other changes. Maybe we will release a new ISO in a few days. I will have to edit the homepage of tromjaro.com to reflect the changes.

in reply to Tio • • •I'm not really sure if its a server issue, let's see if anyone else feels the same, that way we can know for sure.
I think matrix in general is kinda slow when connecting to the server and sending messages, sometimes it feels really slow. That's why its confusing.
