Alright motherfuckers the work week is over. Pride month is now. It’s about to get real gay up in this bitch 🏳️🌈

If you’re feeling bad and ugly maybe it’s just hair washing day, babe

“Is it gay if—“ Yes. It’s gay. You’re gay now. Congrats 🥳

There’s going to be overwhelming guilt to break no contact today. Remember that today is no different than any other day and you’re not obligated to include someone in your life that has a negative impact on your wellbeing 🩷

Submitted a branch for Files to use the wallpaper portal and for multi-GPU support in the Dock 🚀

Really whittling down the OS 8 project board. I’m really still not sure why dailies aren’t booting, but doing what I can until we can figure it out

I have several branches out that will result in basically a completely redrawn cursor theme, so excited waiting on reviews for those.

Merged in @davidmhewitt’s branch for the screenshot and color picker portals! So that’s exciting

New base cursor design was merged in. Shoutouts to new contributor William for getting the ball rolling, helping refine these styles, and coming up with these great color wheel design for the waiting cursor https://github.com/wpkelso

Just confirmed that latest icons with the updated cursor names no longer crash Mutter 14, so 🤞OS 8 dailies should be bootable again tomorrow. Unless there’s some new problem 😂

Dailies are booting again thanks to @davidmhewitt!

Meanwhile I’m working on patches, the OS 8 Flatpak runtime, getting things into a releasable state, etc. Blog post likely coming at you tomorrow?

Granite, Stylesheet, and Icons are all released. Platform 8 is also released. The Sdk and Runtime are both built. Now building docker containers. I have branches staged for updating all our flatpaks to the new platform

Also I have a branch out for adding FlatHub by default in OS 8

Got a fresh install of OS 8 daily on my main machine and I am excitedly cranking out some stuff today! Pushed a couple branches to fix regressions in Desktop settings. And added a few things to the OS 8 project board

Releasing Granite 7.5.0 today (that’s right because no major API break), likely Stylesheet 8, and preparing release notes for Icons 8. We actually did a ton for Icons 8! The release notes and list of fixed issues is fat. And then Platform 8 release will follow soon after that.

Haha docker build failed so maybe I’m too early lol. Once the platform is for sure published in our remote I’ll re-trigger that

Today in things that should be obvious but somehow I see all the fucking time: If you’re criticizing a shitty person, don’t do it by being homophobic, ableist, misogynistic, etc.

The phrase “AI” has been poisoned so hard that nobody building serious products should use it. I would love to see more free software projects leverage computer vision or natural language processing for example, but I would never describe those as “AI” because it’s a brand destroying phrase at this point

Today is Trans Day of Visibility! This day was created as a contrast to Trans Day of Rememberance, where instead of mourning our lost loved ones we celebrate the amazing trans people who we get to live alongside.

Much love goes out from me to all the amazing trans folks on Fedi. You’re all super hot and smart and funny and kind and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so fucking proud of you and I love you 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

@killyourfm I’m not at SCaLE this year unfortunately! Hoping to get back into conferences next year 🤞

Started watching @fosdem talks and of two I’ve watched so far both presenters used the word “fuck”. So I’d really like to go next year lol

Stop promoting fascists and alt right extremists. Don’t link to their blogs or videos. Don’t let them speak at your conferences. Don’t have them on your podcast. Don’t amplify their voices.

@forteller OH NO. That sounds very unhealthy and unethical. Oh my god. I bet people do that. Fuck. That’s awful 😨

Yes! There’s some variation based on your vaginoplasty method but I’ve opted for a soft tissue graft from the colon which is stretchy and mucousal, so it will be self lubricating. Also the prostate is left in place and is analogous to the skene’s gland. The clitoris is formed from glans tissue etc so everything will be fully functional and sensile.
