Recent Notes
@nprofile1q... and I recently presented our vision for Flatpak and Flatpak Next at @nprofile1q....
The "reporting" on it has been abysmal, focusing on some made up bullshit instead of the meat of the talk.
The only exception has been the article on @nprofile1q... about LAS by @nprofile1q.... The difference between the peanut gallery spreading misinformation and a journalist actually researching a topic is just night and day.

Hey peanut gallery! systemd-appd explained in a few sentences: https://blog.sebastianwick.net/posts/so-peerpidfd-gets-more-useful/
I will not take questions.

oh shit.. I forgot about LAS...
I could still decide to go tho..
@nprofile1q... do it! It's like a two hours commute for you
GNOME OS on an ePaper panel driven by @nprofile1q... glider at 75hz over USB C. The cursor feel smoother than on some shitty 60hz LCD displays and scrolling around works surprisingly well. Absolute game changer for working on the balcony.
Trying to answer a question no sane person ever had to ask: How Hard Is It, To Open a File?
This one is about the great POSIX idea of a filesystem, and why you could not play your games and open chrome for a few days.

Now is the time to update Flatpak to 1.16.6 if you're on stable, or 1.17.6 if you're on unstable. All the known regressions caused by the fix for the sandbox escape have been fixed.

but yeah... it's always been bad
@nprofile1q... dunno, maybe just more visible on mastodon this time around? the shit I had to deal with usually came from youtube and discord and was almost invisible here.
like it's great we are all discussing, but 95% of the comments are based on wrong assumption and misinformation and then we also get legal hot takes from people that ain't lawyers and just misundersta...
@nprofile1q... it's just the peanut gallery like it has always been

Instead of taking any part in the monthly wayland bashing bullshit, you could just read about how electron, one of the last X11 bastions, has adjusted to wayland. Super important work!

Over the last year, I overhauled the screen brightness handling in GNOME! This will become available in the upcoming 49 release, but you can already try it on GNOME OS.

Blender is getting HDR on Linux via Wayland before Windows! This isn't by accident, but shows how creating a system with a different design creates better results for users and application developers.
