My #gnomeshell Mutter MR to support scaling and cropping via KMS landed in time for #gnome46

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/

I'm really happy about this one because it should improve things for multiple use-cases:

1. It allows full hardware offloading of fullscreen video playback for cases when the video dimensions don't perfectly match the screen, i.e. up- or downscaling. There are not many clients supporting this yet - but hopefully we'll see more soon, especially #gtk ones.

Flare 0.12.0 is now out on Flathub and the AUR!

This adds many features and improvements compared to last version, like separate draft messages per chat or higlighting of the selected chat in the sidebar. This release also got a revamped UI for the channel information dialog.

(Note to packagers: Downstream added a new build-dependency `protoc`, this therefore also needs to be added to the build depdendencies of Flare.)

Railway 2.3.0 is now out on Flathub and the AUR!

This release contains most of our recent work regarding the application to GNOME Circle (there are still a few items left though).

The most important changes in this version are probably many strings changes in the UI, work on updating the remarks-section of journey legs, and displaying the frequency of trains if available.

There were also many minor improvements.

Scythian Gold Double Dragon Torc Necklace from Central Asia (200 BC).
The Dispersian of the Scythian Dragons
"After extending their country Scythia into more western lands beyond the Black Sea, many Scythians migrated into Europe and the Middle Eastern lands as far as Egypt while leaving new Dragon Families and Courts in their wake. The various tribes of Scythians included the Royal Scythians as well as the Ossetians, Pashtuns, Sarmatians, Kazakhs and Yakuts. Once in Europe, these Scythian tribes spread over much of their new continent, eventually separating into the Hungarians, Romanians, the Serbians, the Croatians of the south, as well as the Germans, Picts and Gaels of the north."
From Mark Amaru Pinkham's "An Initiates Guide to the Path of the Dragon"
Silver head of a king. Iran, Sasanian Empire, 4th century AD.

Meticulously fashioned from a solitary silver piece, the artifact exhibits intricate chased and repoussé detailing. The monarch adorns himself with understated ovoid earrings and a beaded necklace. Notably, the arresting intensity of the king's gaze and the distinctive contour of his arched nose suggest that the artist's primary intent could have been to convey a sense of regality rather than achieving a precise likeness.

Identification of the specific individual depicted in such relief or sculptural representations often relies upon comparative analysis of facial features and attributes of the crown with those found on contemporaneous Sasanian coinage. In the case of this particular artifact, however, the decorative crescent embellishing the crenellated crown and the intricately striated orb surmounting it do not align precisely with any known counterparts. As a composite of stylistic elements, it can be inferred that this work was likely crafted during the fourth century, potentially during the reign of Shapur II (310–379 AD).

The lower segment of this sculpted head has been excised, whether this was intentional or not, it is inconclusive whether it originally constituted part of a more extensive sculptural ensemble or whether it served as an autonomous decorative bust intended for display.

This artifact is housed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art but is not currently on view.
