I love being annoying and often wrong on the internet It's the modern day equivalent of me telling my ideas to the townsfolk in the tavern, which is my second favourite thing to do tbh

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/merge_requests/4645 😌 I finally managed to get that #gnome OS docs PR submitted after like two months lol

Days since bootstrapping Rust from scratch: 0

I'm kind of curious to see what Tangled looks like when you actually use it for a project but I'm ngl the funding model behind makes me just not trust it. It feels like we've already seen the end state of this model of software development with GitHub and we all know where it went, not learning […]

Damn, I fell for graph 1) again. Turns out that data centre capex actually isn't all that unusual?

you need a billion dollar corporation to put a chip in your computer that makes it into a brick because you haven't learned not to leave your shit out in public???

Unacceptable. US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/17/microsoft-us-tech-firms-lobbied-eu-secrecy-rules-datacentre-emissions

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116408720976324749 Doesn't work without a Google/Apple-tied device btw. There is absolutely no story for how this would work on a desktop, anything without a Google/Apple account, or open source OS at all either.

Gosh I hate it so much how Firefox makes it essentially impossible to find the forge URL for an extension in the store

Ugh I stg if I see one more obviously vibe-coded Tailwind + NextJS + Emojis frontend I will start adding sites to blocklists

The #puregotk examples, including with Meson, now build and run on macOS by default, with both Homebrew and MacPorts - and, as a bonus, they can now be launched from within #gnome Builder too!

I'm so excited for Dune III

I finally switched to a vertical mouse a while ago and honestly, so far I'm really enjoying the experience

Deckenstromschienen sind einfach cool

Chongqing Punk is quickly growing to be my favourite YT channel

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/15350#issuecomment-4255050646 I stg the entire anti-LLM crowd is just using tooling from two years ago and living in a parallel world as a result Like wdym "I asked ChatGPT to make a change for me" that's not how it's worked for like more than a year […]

The Magyar M1 interview is crazy lol Blueprint for how to deal when you win back the country from oligarchs everywhere in the world

I sure hope that RV23 RISC-V boards won't have that annoying ARM UEFI fragmentation

It's incredible that some parts of the world seem to be completely OK with an LLM having the final word on whether a not what a person is saying should be able to be heard by somebody else

Changing my mind on the new Linear issue view where it's all exposed via tool calls Unlike the prior iterations of it it actually works now and it can act on your behalf while still tracing responsibility to you

That new California 3D printer censorship bill makes me want to start throwing tomatoes

My brain has slowly started to look at "social" features in apps - any user-generated content hosted/sent via infrastructure I'm legally liable for - as a real liability and something I actively shy away from implementing as a result

New obsession: Dried figs

I keep on reading the "AI 2027" FUD paper from a while ago and it is outright funny to see how optimistic they were about the relevance of the US globally

New thing: Initial support for GStreamer in #puregotk, completely CGo-free!

https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1sl13qp/til_web_apps_have_landed_in_firefox_nightly_for/ Another Mozilla W? On the same day? Nice!Q

#p2panda's GObject library running inside of Flatpak, called from #puregotk - and it all kind of just works, including mDNS discovery?

Finally managed to push those two big #puregotk PRs I've been working on! 1) fixes a bug with `throws` generation: https://codeberg.org/puregotk/puregotk/pulls/46 2) makes the generation 15x faster: https://codeberg.org/puregotk/puregotk/pulls/47 That should make it that much easier to […]

Nothing more and more how I've started shifting towards biasing stack choices towards older options

Forgejo is so so cool

POV: You've been hacking on something but just aren't happy to actually push it for a week

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@balloob/116398481380578311 FINALLY YESSSS

I'm so curious to see what we'll do with all of that data centre rack space if the LLM bubble ever pops

I really need to get faster at self-review of my code

Automerge purego bindings wen?

🦞🦞🦞 ORBAN IS GONE 🦞🦞🦞

RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/116392790748705158 Canada needs more talented technical people who think from first principles. My biggest concern is, no matter how much tech use feels liberating, the rollouts are far from it. Something that will 100% not be liberating: technical […]

Managed to get an initial prototype of #go bindings for #p2panda to work! It's using the new GObject bindings and some new #puregotk improvements I've been hacking on these past few nights. Can't wait to actually build something with this!

RUST WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW

I wonder how much of "LLM-driven productivity increases" really are just actually the effects of having someone to rubber-duck and discuss with 24/7

And they're back on Earth! Yea for the #artemis crew and mission! 🎉🎉🎉

The Findroid Jellyfin client is so nice, it's like the first time the download option is actually reliable

I'm so terrible with names, sometimes I watch a show and forget what everyone's names are in between the episodes lol

Moonscrolling!

So Valve has for a while already been pushing arm64 and FEX-related stuff all over the place including in Proton. However I didn't notice, that the Proton repo literally contains build instructions for ARM64! And I happen to have a great little target device lying around, an android handheld […]

Zed now has a git graph! Yay!

I'm experimenting with a new layout of #Meshy. The main menu is now vertical in the very left panel which hides when the window gets narrower (can be always evoked). It should still work well on phones. Of course, there are a lot of paper cuts to solve […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

I'm kind of looking forward to that foldable iPhone. Those foldables, esp. the ones with three folds, are like the perfect form factor in my brain
