More geek talk (sorry). Thought I'd retry #Fedora #cosmic #atomic & was stunned to find the main release faults still exist. An rpm-ostree upgrade cured the no folders in home fault (still shipping on the download image) but the Cosmic store was still borked. Only fixed by manually adding Flathub.org & even then I'm not entirely sure it's right.

I mainly use X11 with LeftWM for everyday work. But as a backup, I always keep GNOME/Wayland available — also as a way to show respect to GNOME, which was my desktop environment during my college years. Now, I'm considering replacing GNOME with Cosmic Desktop for that role. #Linux #cosmic #cosmic_de

Psst: It's bloody hot and you need something fresh? Don't look any further!

RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)

has super
fresh beats just for you!

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next fresh issue of
#RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/07/05, 8:00pm UTC+2, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's about the #music!

This time finally again more jazzy things in here, but there is by far much more, like...

-
#summer pop from #Chile
- Retro
#Cosmic #Beats
- Top Notch Jazzy
#HipHop
-
#Beatmaker stuff
-
#VHS style Garage #Pop
-
#electrofunk-y #BonkWave or maybe not
- Groovy
#Dub
- a #140
#Halftime Banger
-
#Fusion Jazz Beats
- improvised
#Jazz (yeah, Jazz is back, baby!))
- excellent glitchy
#IDM
- hefty
#Punk
- brandnew 60s Garage
#RockNroll
- dark Berlin
#Shoegaze
- prepared
#Piano music

An lot of this is released under the
#CreativeCommons license, and a similar amount can NOT be found on #Sporify and the likes. I'll explain, why artist decide against Spotify more and more. The flag of the Fediverse is waved by @axwax@chaos.social like being bonkers ;).

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
Playlist + manuscript at Sunday here. Can't provide answers during the show or directly afterwards because the show is preproduced while at the same time I'll be CJing (yes!) at the c-base Berlin with two portable cassette players and a Kaosspad. For free.
So: CU all on Saturday - either at c-base or Radio Irrtum! . Info + answers Sunday then.

The #COSMIC Store has recently added a category for panel applets, making it massively easy to grab community made applets. I love it to bits and even more so because that it's given me the opportunity to contribute my own applet. Logo Menu!

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

@GossiTheDog @signalapp Fun, I wander if something similar can be done on #linux with #wayland so I dont accidentally leak all my DMs because of missclick when using #obs and #xdg_desktop_portal, maybe not to the level of application always denying capture ( #drm applications), but it would be cool to have an rejectlist in your linux #desktop to add/remove applications you explicitly dont want to be able to capture (with default values pulled from their #flatpak manifest or something)

If current #xdg specification doesnt allow that, does any of the desktops like #gnome, #kde, #cosmic or #hyperland thought about that?
