FAILS 2-7. LFG California! 🎉🏳️⚧️ Fuck terfs. Fuck transphobes. Fuck Gavin Newsom. Protect trans kids

Some really strong statement of opposition from assembly members so far 🎉🏳️⚧️

So far bill supporters have repeatedly referenced Gavin Newsom. This is extremely hard to listen to

For those unclear of the impact: this is the canary in the coal mine. Youth anti-trans bills and sports bans always precede more aggressive anti-trans legislation. If this passes, it will send a signal that not even California is safe for transgender people

Live streaming here. Definite trigger warning for transphobia. Lots of transphobia

This is unfortunately not a joke. We’ll find out the impact of Gavin Newsom’s betrayal in a few short minutes https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article302716954.html

Whether you want to be a better ally, think you might be trans, or just don’t understand what this whole transgender thing is about, I highly recommend reading https://genderdysphoria.fyi/

It talks about what gender itself is, what gender incongruence feels like, the science behind how sex determination and sexual dimorphism works in humans, the diagnostic process for trans folks, and what HRT actually does and what is involved in transitioning. It’s a good read

Every once in a while I see reviews for elementary OS that are like, “This is not for beginners. I figured it out because I’m super smart, but a normal person would have a hard time rsyncing files to their NAS”

Your idea of what normal people want to do with their computers is fucking wild dude

Gen Z and Alpha are basically tech illiterate as a population. It’s only millennials and Xers that do any kind of file management at all. It was a fad. The way you use computers was a fad

OS 8.0.1 blog post being published right fucking meow https://blog.elementary.io

“Ugh can we just ignore all the social issues and focus on the technology?”

No. Lmao. Absolutely the fuck not

OS 8.0.1 RC2 is now available for sponsors at https://builds.elementary.io

This build contains a number of new releases with bug fixes, including a fix for Flatpak runtime updates. Enjoy testing that over the weekend. Hoping to release to general public next week :)

Let's go 🚀

Little weekend project shaping up here https://github.com/danirabbit/notes/pull/7

elementary OS 8.0.1 RC is available right now from https://builds.elementary.io for GitHub Sponsors. Expecting to release to the general public next week with a new blog post etc. Tons of bug fixes. A few new creature comforts. Linux 6.11 etc

I’m sidequesting on AppCenter a bit here. Having fun. I submitted a branch to show a label when apps have in-app purchases—very common in game launchers—and a branch to switch category views to using ListModels, a first step in porting to Grk.GridView which should improve performance and resource usage

Fell down a rabbit hole playing with showing screenshots in search results. Performance is awful, but very fun proof of concept https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/pull/2272

And merged in super fast search in AppCenter, shoutouts @leolost 🚀

Quick Settings update is out! Enjoy the new user switcher. Excited to get feedback and iterate on its design 🎉

oh I'm so excited for this! It's gonna be so dope https://github.com/elementary/dock/pull/361
