Boy day gender feels means if someone calls me a handsome gentleman today i will be very happy.

This one reframes how you think about security. Elio Qoshi and Anxhela Maloku introduced the concept of "usability vulnerabilities" at #FOSSBack 2026, Go watch it now. youtube.com/watch?v=...

Happy Pride Month

Also happy pride month i guess

In the grocery store looking at eggs. Older Guy next to me: What makes eggs white or brown? is there a difference. Me: I don't think there's a difference and i'm not sure why, I think it's just a random variation. Guy: I should look it up at home...

Very excited to say that I joined lockdown.systems and get to make cool stuff alongside other amazing folks in privacy and security rights 🐢

Come along and join me and others with much more exptertise in AI and talk about AI and how it factors into sustainability (or not!) for FOSS

I loved this conversation :) take a listen if you have a spare 30 mins

Come along to the next Sustain OSS event!

hahah papped at the Open Source Summit back in summer last year!

If you are in or near London, they are having a mini-RightsCon at Newspeak House! 🙌🎉 We can just DO things… together. luma.com/dhw92dsa

Excited to be heading to London today to guest lecture at University Arts London (UAL) for the Global Perspectives in Computer Science module for Undergraduate BSc (Hons) Computer Science. #oss #internetfreedom #guestlecturing #teaching #privacyandsecuritytechnology

sometimes social media decides to shoot you in the chest point blank with a rail cannon because it's funny

If anyone cannot attend this conference anymore and wants to transfer their ticket to me i'd be really grateful!!! www.genderandtech.net/conference I very much want to attend from the human rights centered design perspective re-shares appreacited for reach!

More men need to read Rebecca Solnit bookwyrm.social/book/4572/s/... After all, Women Strike for Peace was founded by women who were tired of making the coffee and “doing the typing and not having any voice or decision-making role in the antinuclear movement of the 1950s.

The wonderful cyberpunk game i played in has come to a close BUT WE'RE PLAYING MIXED SPLAT WORLD OF DARKNESS GAME NOW AHHHHHH I'm so excited!!!!

My fellow millennials: skinny jeans are both uncomfortable AND now instantly mark you as Ancient and Uncool. Embrace Big Pants thought.

Sad news for digital human rights & technologists as #Rightscon is cancelled www.rightscon.org. I was organising a online roundtable with two close collaborators in Human Rights Centered Design titled "The state of secure and private design and user research for human rights technology".

5 topics I could (and have) give an hour long talk on - Why OSS needs more usability in order to be used by average folk - Care and trauma focused hard conversations and facilitation - Growing food and the power of plant and kitchen witchery - Performance art - Showing up for community and activism

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

15 years of design experience and expertise doesn't seem to mean you'll be listened to by people determined they know better than you.

I'm speaking on the 26th of April (tomorrow!!) at www.oggcamp.org in Manchester speaking about my much loved Open Source Design Diary studies project! which you can read here: github.com/sprblm/Diary... #oggcamp #oggcamp26 #oss #opensource #opensourcedesign

A photo from Open Source Design devroom for 2026's FOSDEM! Had fantastic time running the devroom for another year with some fantastic speakers, audience and folks willing to chip in and help make the room great. #oss #fosdem #opensourcedesign #ossdesign

“I’m really nerdy about digital sovereignty as a topic right now. This was raised at penpot festival in 2025 and it’s a huge topic...largely about what companies own and do what with our data.” #OSS #opensource #penpot #ossdesign #opensourcedesign

When I have a rough day, I look at quotes from Volition from Disco Elysium and quotes from Citizen Sleeper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENSA... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG9W...

Capitalism and capitalism adjacency is bad-cringe. waow.

Open Source Design has some small funds to pay someone who has experience in helping OSS projects/communities build out effective governance work. Please check our job posting here: opensourcedesign.net/jobs/jobs/20...

Open Source Design has been supporters of FOSS Backstage platforming design OSS and we're helping to fundraise the costs of recording the design talks and ensuring that they stay available for years to come online! opensourcedesign.net/design/open/... #oss #foss #ossdesign #fossbackstage

“When you give user insights and feedback to FOSS - that’s an open source contribution!” Check out this conversation with Canonical. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP0g... #OSS #opensource #penpot #ossdesign #opensourcedesign

As a former manager of mine in cybersecurity used to say, “If you want to keep a secret, don’t tell it to a computer.”

The massive importance of the #trigaze #trigunstargaze ending was in comparison to the manga in this year of 2026, where reporters are instrumental to a happier ending, aren't engaged with helping our free press and media thrive. I will die on the hill of this critical reading of this anime/media.

SO HYPE www.youtube.com/watch?v=E10f...

I'll do a proper post about this video soon with like a social media image an everything but for now I'd like to amke sure everyone knows how comfy the penpot hoodie is and i will never remove it unless i have too 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP0g...

FOSS Backstage 2026 was a blast! here's a photo dump before I do a write up for the open source design articles webpage of some of my favourite moments! The photographer for the event is so amazing!

I skipped my cyberpunk ttrpg game tonight to hang out post FOSS Conference fun times and while my character was absent the rest of the team got in a fight with scavs and two character lost a leg each. Can't a rockerboy take a night off without their chooms loosing limbs?! lol

If you haven't yet checked out stream.place you should. I'm really excited about the future of video they are building for the open social web.

@penpot.app have announced their ambassador program and I’m excited and honoured to be part of the first cohort of ambassadors alongside some fantastic and inspiring folks. penpot.app/ambassador-p... #opensource #penpot #design #opensourcedesign #penpotambassador #foss #oss #collaboration

This is such an important video and i think it's essential watching for everyone www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv1S...

If your women in tech lists and shoutouts for international women's day are all white and cis gender women your list is not at all complete actually.

This week/weekend i've been reminding myself of the geek social fallacies plausiblydeniable.com/five-geek-so... and how they apply to the intended board game geek spaces but also how they might apply to OSS spaces too.

Interested in embedding design thinking into the engineering world? Join Miguel Divo, @erioldoesdesign.bsky.social, @gloria.design and David Edler at #FOSSBackstage. Their panel explores how design contributions are valuable assets for greater impact in engineering circles: 26.foss-backstage.de...

An image that sums up the journey of this particular week doing design work in OSS.

come and hang out tonight designers + OSS folks!

Morning.

ah! i'm so glad my diversity in design talk is still proving useful for folks ❤️ I haven't made an updated version of that talk in such a long time and I feel like so much has changed about meangingful representation online. Would be fun to update it!

I've been thinking about how I prune and weed my 'garden' lately. Garden in the hypothetical and existential terms. In Permaculture, there are plants and crops that support each others survival and growth when you plant them together.

I wrote this Open Source Contribution guide 2 years ago, thanks to @erioldoesdesign.bsky.social we updated it to include a section on how you can contribute as designer to Open Source. Eriol I appreciate your time and sharing your journey www.santoshyadav.dev/blog/contrib...
