Now that TikTok will be banned in the US, it will be the first truly international social media network that the US can not control, and one that will not be under the influence of US creators. That will be extremely interesting to watch.

Gosh I wish we could use a modern text-to-voice model like this for the screen reader in #GNOME

@thibaultamartin Gapless (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.neithern.g4music) is incredible - I love that one in particular because it supports m3u files for playlist, so it's enough to pull your music from Spotify to it :)

@HistoPol Yes, visiting friends! Happy holidays to you too!

Small town Germany is beautiful but damn I miss Vancouver

I don't understand how multilingual people live on OSes w/o a compose key ... seriously nothing beats being able to use accents and umlauts while having an ANSI keyboard for software development

Thinking about going one step further from the GDPR requirements on data export for this new reference project I'm working on by adding data import capabilities too. Being able to export to a future successor system is already cool but this way it's also possible to switch between different instances very easily which is just nice in general.

The US is the Apple of countries. Everything it makes is ridiculously overpriced, it's a closed system that uses its monopoly to prevent any kind of real global competition, has thousands of "intuitive" quirks like the imperial system that only make sense to it's subjects, and it has a cult-like following that will defend it's flaws and exceptionalism no matter how irrational.

We need better GPDR policy generators for OSS projects smh

Copyright law enforcement is the closest thing we have to book burning in our age

Sometimes I straighten my hair and I get transported to the 2010s, except this time it's a #AlmaLinux shirt instead of CentOS

Seriously incredible how the US will do absolutely anything but innovate. It is so time for other world markets to be actually viable for exports again

270% tarrifs on solar panels from ASEAN is probably the most pathetic policy Biden has come up with yet

The recording for my talk at KubeCon this week has just been uploaded! If you couldn't make it to the conference this year or want to watch our live demo of migrating a Kubernetes cluster from AWS to GCP to Azure with Architect again, you won't want to miss it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGUN7aUBGTU

Sunsets here in Utah are incredible

(Bonus: Amtrak station in the distance!)

Every time I use zstd I get so unreasonably happy to see my 5 GB VM image reduced down to 21 MB

Lake Constance my beloved

Patrick Breyer should be awarded a Bundesverdienstkreuz for his fight against Chat Control at this point tbh

@eshep Yup, all in `proot` - no Termux involved! See: https://github.com/pojntfx/hydrapile/blob/main/docs/termux-weston.md

Disregard my previous post, I figured it out - here is a pure #Wayland desktop running on #Android, with a #Pipewire backend that is then being read by #GStreamer in a proot, which is then read by GStreamer on the host device through a FIFO (as raw YUV420 frames). It works, and all without X!
