I tried learning using several different resources, but what did it for me was the nix pills (https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/). I'd say it's becoming a bit outdated now with the nix standalone command, but the fundamentals are still mostly the same.


I was kinda surprised to see that the development repos are hosted using mercurial (https://hg.slitaz.org/). I don't remember seeing other Linux distros using mercurial instead of git for development. The repos are apparently mirrored on GitHub but I don't see a lot of development happening there.


Currently, my main concern with YAML is that, by the spec, comments are not attached to a particular node (see https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2767100). As a result, a lot of YAML parsers (like https://github.com/yaml/libyaml and https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust) only filter out the comments during the parsing phase. This makes it less than ideal for a use-case where the configuration file is expected to be modified by both programs and humans.

TOML makes it more trivial to associate comments with a node. This is mainly because the language is simpler though, as the spec is not explicit about that (https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0#comment).


The project depends on `libspeechd-dev`/`speech-dispatcher-devel`, but there's no mention of support for voice commands. Does the framework support speech recognition? That could be pretty neat.


You are confused because you haven't bothered to read the description of these libraries. They are for synthesis, not recognition.


Sounds like the screen reader dependencies


Been using Element for a while now (since back when it was called Riot). So far so good. I managed to convince a few friends to switch over from Hangouts and Signal. There's even a Rust Weechat plugin for Matrix, the underlying protocol. Would love to hear feedback if anyone tried it.


> An additional DisplayPort 1.2 output is provided via the USB C port.

For me this was the missing feature from the latest RPi. If on top of that the board can run a vanilla Linux kernel (the RPi can't from what I understand), I'm definitely buying one.


The RPi can, actually. Vanilla Debian 11 works fine. Only catch is you need to copy the bootloader and firmware (available in official GH repos) to the EFI partition. No need to patch the kernel, though.


> There is also now an RSS feed with all the latest announcements.

Good to see RSS is still being added to websites in 2020!


KDE loves RSS, we have 2 RSS readers, a Qt library for parsing RSS feed and a Planet (planet.kde.org) with a lot of post each week. Planet build with Jekyll.


There's a weechat plugin for matrix that's being actively developed here https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs.


Looks like they added Power Delivery and HDMI output to the usb-c port, but the main power adapter is still not usb-c.


In my opinion the highlight here is the addition of the "Only this time" option when granting permissions to an app. I'm wondering though if this new privacy feature is only available for the 3 permission types listed in the post.

> With one-time permissions you can grant apps access to your microphone, camera or location, just that one time. The next time the app needs access to these sensors, it will have to ask you for permission again.
