Did some more indicator stuff this week and took a detour into trying to make the upgrade path for Bluetooth indicator easier which took me into some other Bluetooth things.
My little Friday Funday project today was a redesign for Bluetooth Settings! This uses some new Gtk4 features for dealing with ListModels and should improve screen reader accessibility: https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-bluetooth/pull/246

Do you remember which ones you had liked?
My first favorite was "Joy of Cooking." People sneer at it, but it tells you how to do things.
My least favorite was the one I bought when leaving for college.
Catch a deer, skin it, cook it.
Um, not enough details there for a new cook who had a single 2 qt. pot, one knife, one stir spoon.
I'm seeing that link about an Airbnb founder going DOGE alongside a call for a boycott, and I'm really wishing more people had paid attention to the actual track record of these early self-acknowledged disruptive companies and helped strangle them long before they amassed the power to actually harm things.
My first assignment in my public policy masters program ten years ago(!) was loosely on Airbnb's business model, and even back then it was abundantly clear that it was going to destroy housing markets and communities for almost exclusively shareholder benefit.
My husband's family are usually pretty great, but we're on a trip together, and I'm starting to see why he has stress and anxiety around certain things.
My family had some real issues when I was growing up...but the concept of "everyone has mental and emotional needs that should be taken seriously,l"—while not always perfectly executed—was at least generally accepted (not by my older sister, but she's a piece of work).
Can't believe I never did an #introduction
I'm Ishambard, 34, from England.
Life-long gamer who is currently running riot on games from childhood and general oddities I find online. Will often toot about things I have recently beaten on RetroAchievements with my thoughts on them.
Massive Nintendo fan, 90s anime fan, and manga reader. Wannabe creative person of sorts who will sometimes bake or make something when time is available.
A lot of my personal time is taken up by recording low effort Let's Plays and uploading these to YouTube, as I don't have a consistent schedule to be a streamer. I mostly play things that are of interest to me and want to share, sometimes classic things and sometimes really weird obscure things.

Can be painfully shy and introverted, and not very good at the whole social media malarkey. But always down for a good chat on all kinds of things.
Mental (and physical) rehab is the most challenging thing I ever done.
I thought I had it covered. I learned about technologies when no one had ever used them.
I learned to fly the Airbus 320 and seaplanes in marginal weather.
And yet, this is where I am now, my world upside-down, and sometimes struggling to do basic things.
My #ThankYouTuesday goes to those supporting me, my new community, and a dear friend with which I got back in touch.
