The employees have asked you not play them at all tomorrow as a message to the company.

PostgreSQL: LIMIT vs FETCH FIRST ROWS … WITH TIES - Hans-Jürgen Schönig @ CYBERTEC: https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/postgresql-limit-vs-fetch-first-rows-with-ties/

I'm about to release a new, highly broken alpha for #Tootle 2.0, the native Mastodon client for Linux

In 2.0 you can expect:

- Improved UI and UX. Thanks to #GTK 4 and Libadwaita, you can expect a massive responsiveness boost!

- New sidebar layout. Now all your accounts and quick links can be found in a separate view.

- Initial Pleroma support (but don't expect full compatibility yet!)

- Improved credential store

- Improved in-memory caching

- 100% more bugs!

Here's my GSoC update blog-post! Area selection editing and window selection for the new GNOME Shell screenshot UI: https://imolodetskikh.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/gsoc-2021-selection-editing-and-window-selection/

Fragments will get a big V2 update soon! 😎

Completely rewritten from scratch to make use of GTK4, libadwaita - and of course Rust!

A small sneak peek...

GLib, amongst other vital things like collection types, provides a "mainloop" which repeatedly asks the Linux Kernel which registered "sources" should be triggered. These sources in turn inevitably kick off all the signals you might have registered to.

Signals and mainloops are important to put the user in control of control flow rather than the computer!

---

The raw user input behind those events are sent by the hardware to Linux for it to normalize & send to Mutter via X11.

Welcome to centralized Internet 🤷 A number of high profile websites are down right now, apparently due to a failure at Fastly (?)
