Don’t forget to spend some time telling yourself some hot girl shit. You are that bitch. You get the things you want. You are fine as fuck. Your haters are just mad they can’t have you 🩷

We’re about to do some really cool stuff with Launcher actions! @lenemter has a couple branches so you can create keyboard shortcuts for any app OR any app’s actions: https://github.com/elementary/settings-keyboard/pull/536

This kind of thing makes me really love our community. We’ve cultivated a culture where the details matter 🩷 https://github.com/elementary/shortcut-overlay/pull/157#discussion_r2094044066

I’m so grateful that @fireborn has been hanging around in our community lately. Thanks to his feedback we’ll soon be publishing updates to make the shortcut overlay and notifications visible to the screen reader!

If we can solve ~20 issues/mo it’ll only take 8 years until no bugs 😅 Luckily a lot of these are duplicates or can’t be confirmed or were fixed but the report wasn’t closed. So the final total should be fewer. But issue triage is serious work!

If you want to help:
* look at this list: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aelementary+++&type=issues&state=open&s=created&o=asc
* leave a comment if something was fixed, you can’t reproduce, or you found a duplicate issue
* 👍 react if you can confirm the issue still happens

There’s about 3 people right now working on ARM builds for running on—for example—M series Macs. So far they’ve got it booting in a live session but installation is failing: https://github.com/elementary/os/pull/754

GTK4 porting often means rewriting some very old and very janky code 😅 I’m currently getting into Applications Menu and Sound Indicator and woof. At least this will probably mean bug fixes to do things The Right Way™

New releases of Online Accounts and Display settings coming at you! Fixed a few crashes with multi-monitor and an issue with signing into Caldav accounts where the port isn’t specified

Okay latest on panel GTK4 porting is that Quick Settings is now ready for review! Sound, Power, and Applications Menu are all that’s left. I’m making really good progress on Applications Menu and Power just needs to be cleaned up, it’s basically ready for review as well. Maybe Gtk4 panel in daily by July? Cross your fingers 😊

New release of Shortcut Overlay being published in a couple hours. This release is now screen reader accessible! Thanks again to @fireborn for pointing it out. Inching towards a full accessible desktop. Reminder again that if you encounter any issues—accessibility related or not—to report them in GitHub! I want to know about them and I want to fix them :) https://docs.elementary.io/contributor-guide/feedback/reporting-issues

Getting into more applications menu GTK4 porting. There’s a lot of keypress handling stuff that’s kinda janky. Replacing things with event controllers. Fixing some bugs along the way 💪

Like, check this out. Saved 50 lines by using a built-in feature of Gtk.SearchEntry https://github.com/elementary/applications-menu/pull/643

Wasn't able to finish the GTK4 port of applications menu this week, but several indicators are now building in daily!

Decided to animate some icons for my friday fun day

https://github.com/elementary/quick-settings/pull/122

I think Monday I’ll try to get as many indicators building in daily as possible and then try to get Applications Menu building before the end of the week possibly. So could be maybe a viable gtk4 panel situation even if it’s a bit buggy just to test? I dunno. Might be a bit optimistic but we’ll try

I know I just posted a thing about resting, but I had a splinter in my brain 😅 The first GTK4 panel indicator is now building in Daily! You won’t be able to use it unless you manually compile the gtk4 panel—and then you’ll lose all the gtk3 indicators—but it’s there! Shoutouts @leolost for porting it :)

There's a number of bugs to fix, but I have a basically minimally usable GTK4 panel building from source 🎉

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

Happy 6,000 followers to me 😍 Thank you all you lovely people who find my content entertaining. I appreciate you for giving me a platform to spread my extremely homosexual anti-capitalist agenda

I think this is one of the hardest lessons for liberals to learn:

They’re not gonna pick you. You can’t be “one of the good ones”. They’re going to call you a commie anyways. They’re going to say you were violent anyways. When you “go high”, they lie about and nobody will believe you.

Respectability politics does not work

All lesbians should be huge trans advocates. There’s only so many queer women. And they’re trying to ban the technology to create more
