In case you didn't make it to FOSDEM (or didn't manage to get in the packed room), the recording of our talk is now available!
@adz and @tbernard are talking about our broader goals and the ongoing work on p2panda and Reflection.

lil' note: when gnome-control-center isnt present, the button to launch it is gone from the quick settings menu, so that suggests some level of consideration for such a setup, but other buttons that would open it remain (uselessly); like the menu when you right click the desktop, or the link to sound settings under the audio device selector

I wish #Gnome would sell phones. I would be so down for a simple, modern, well designed phone running Gnome OS with custom Nextcloud. Modern but affordable hardware, designed for Linux. Sleek and comfy like Apple, free like Linux.
The #ReflectionDeveloperLabs sessions are starting soon! It's a series of online events for GTK app developers to learn more about local-first, and give us feedback on what they need to add local-first sync to their apps 🪴🔃
First session: March 3, 15:00 CET, online
We'll give an introduction to the stack and present the WIP new p2panda node/client APIs and GObject bindings to get early feedback.

Hmm, is anyone else missing this icon in pavucontrol? (On more "bare-bones" window managers, maybe?)
I'm trying to figure which piece I'd need to fix here. I'm on #NixOS, but that doesn't seem to be the only reason. :D
This seems to be the "emblem-default" icon https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pavucontrol/-/blob/master/src/devicewidget.ui?ref_type=heads#L80 which Nix' adwaita-icon-theme doesn't seem to have anymore…
The nixpkgs derivation is here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/pa/pavucontrol/package.nix
So in trying to figure out why my pavucontrol is missing an icon, I learned a lot about how icon themes work today!
First, it seems that if your system is using dconf, #GTK 4 will only observe the value you see when running:
dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/interface/icon-theme
You can change it using:
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/icon-theme "'name-of-theme'"
(That's single quotes inside double quotes!)
This even seems to work while the application is running! :O
