@jysandy.bsky.social you might find this fun: www.geoscope.ca/black-rocks local game engine / point cloud hacker did this as a little experiment in combining a variety of open datasets. pretty cute.

मेरा शरीर टूट रहा है। अभी नहीं, अभी नहीं। यह टूटगा। लेकिन अभी नहीं। तो मुझे काम करने दो।

liquid glass design sensibilities remind me of visual basic 3 in single document interface mode but it makes even less sense, somehow

just once, try fighting corruption instead of fighting with each other

i'm offgrid for 4 days! congratulations #gnome again on (a) the most meaningful election in a long time! there's a great list of candidates and it's hard to choose. (b) your first fellows — this is everything for the gnome foundation and, i hope, the start of a new era for the #linux desktop. ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations to Sophie and Peter, the very first GNOME Fellows! discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-foun... This is amazing news. Thank you to everyone on the @gnome.org Foundation board for all your hard work to get this over the line. #gnome

i will be offline for the rest of #gnome foundation q&a with board candidates. i've made some endorsements, in case you don't know all 9 candidates: discourse.gnome.org/t/2026-board... please continue to ask questions, no matter how difficult! strong candidates will give you strong answers.

ah, wonderful. apple a.i. will sign into my webpages and change passwords on my behalf? i can't see any way this convenience could possibly go sideways.

## खामोशी और भय ## सत्य. सच. सच मुश्किल है लेकिन आवश्यक, बिल्कुल है। खामोशी अब सुरक्षित है पर वहम तेरा, अंत है। मेरी दृष्टि सिद्ध नहीं हैं लेकिन कोशिश करूंगा। जोखिम तो हैं, फिर भी मैं कोशिश करूँगा।

this is so succinct and clear. i’ve been trying to capture “it’s okay to hate it but i think you’re hating it wrong” for a few months now. this is it. thanks, charity. 🙏

this isn't "over the wall" open source, but it's a step in that direction: ladybird.org/posts/changi... i don't believe this is a bad thing. but we need to think of new onboarding pathways for the next generation of f/oss contributors. new social networks which go beyond code. new trust systems.

Sexual assault is the most extreme, but there's an entire unnamed category here of "wait, THAT'S how you react when your friend/benefactor/ally/whatever is accused of a crime?"

to trust the numbers Ziraph reads off Apple Silicon I check the resolver on real silicon. here are my gaps (✗ = no real hardware). got one of these Macs? reply or DM and I'll set you up 🙏 #AppleSilicon #LocalLLM #MLX

these “hi i saw your github profile do you want to talk about freelancing” emails are getting really absurd. like… one a day. did openclaw make every wannabe tech bro goober decide hiring was the problem the robots should solve? reminds me of recruiters while working in finance

woot! go bazzite team!

will ask p tomorrow if we're allowed to print this out and hang it up in the new kitchen

You know how IDEs give you a red squiggly underline if you use a variable that hasn't been defined? I want the same thing for writing prose. Red underline if you refer to a non-obvious concept that hasn't previously been defined in the text.

@lu.is I know it’s a real stretch but I figure it never hurts to ask: given the massive improvements at the GNOME Foundation over the past year, what are the odds you’ve considered reclaiming your Membership and running for board elections?

this is another big update from the #gnome foundation: blogs.gnome.org/aday/2026/05... - app summit was a raging success - elections! please run for the board! - fellowship(s) landing soon - new concern escalation policy - financial reporting still improving - bart and andrea are awesome

flathub-as-a-service ... another low-effort pyjama video from yours truly youtu.be/Vl3CbxEievQ

my guadec 2025 keynote had a silly premise about rotating the political spectrum (no such thing actually exists) 90 degrees into "green" vs "black" ... gotta be honest, i didn't think it was a thing that would actually kinda happen in places: www.linkedin.com/posts/chadwh...

i *do* have major eyesight issues. light/dark mode support is an accessibility concern. it’s 2026 and adding theming support is a 15-minute job. there’s no excuse.

hello #gnome folks! foundation elections have started: discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-foun... 1) make sure you have your membership! 2) please research your candidates! 3) run for elections!

i'm not sure how i managed to go through an entire global pandemic without knowing about tom7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar9W... he's my new best friend

on transparency (in f/oss nonprofits) - youtu.be/-V4EDqrrR4Y another silly pyjama ramble. :) hopefully the audio is better this time for the one person who listens. 😅

is anyone running a commercial @matrix.org server that‘s totally defederated by default? slack, basically. but open source with the option of federation.

yuuuuuup

can't stop obsessing about @castrojo.bsky.social 's linux app summit talk. i normally don't do "reaction" posts — and i'm not sure if this even qualifies — but nonetheless here's an hour-long ramble in my pyjamas: youtu.be/mE5lV_1PvfU

google: doing our level best to break the internet, one dark pattern at a time

i actually forked all the bitwarden repos the last time there was a scare. this time i might actually stick with the forks and see what can be made of it. what a pain in the arse, though.

This is tragic, the fall of Bitwarden: blog.ppb1701.com/the-quiet-re...

this. this is, like, the whole thing. just because you’re married to a carpenter doesn’t mean that person wants to spend every spare minute fixing some damaged bullshit on your house. they just want to watch rooster and go to bed early, like you.

this talk by @castrojo.bsky.social is all gold and if you care about #cloudnative or the linux desktop, you should watch it: www.youtube.com/live/1AXBfsi... here are my notes, scribbled on some junk paper about drywall quotes. the whole way i was like "yes, YES. YES EXACTLY."

speaking of crossing the streams between the cloud-native world and the linux desktop, this talk by tobias is a fun glimpse into a world where desktop linux nerds rediscover distributed computing ux hell: www.youtube.com/live/v9uwNip... "oh right shit... IDENTITY" "how to delete"

hands up if you saw this 100 times and didn’t have to look it up

with the fall of github, it's a good time to get issues out of source forges anyway (agents or no agents) so i really hope @wesmckinney.com's kata gets a proper #localfirst layer with #p2panda or something: github.com/wesm/kata an issue tracker that *prefers* native apps would be neat.

massive congratulations to the @kde.org teams for landing a 1m eur contract with @sovereign.tech ! when @gnome.org received a similar grant a few years ago, an incredible amount of work was produced: blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/202... this is a great thing for the linux desktop.

I’m around at the #linuxappsummit today and tomorrow. Fun hearing about all the coolness FEX does.
