Fotema goes brrr on 200GB of photos, on my good old T470.

@Benhm3 I do have a stationary server, and that’s precisely what I’m exploring (and writing about in a blog post draft)!

The replies in this thread are so heartwarming. I love seeing that @gnome solves real people’s problems in their everyday life.

I love that it’s more than a project for computer enthusiasts. It has a massive positive impact on people’s lives.

@brendan nah you good, you’ll get a seat at your devroom of choice. Got supplies to last long enough?

Feels like this could be useful to a bunch of us

If your employer gave you €1000 (or $1000) to spend on open source projects that support your work, where would this money go and why?

Welp, a Keychron K3 Max will be shipped soon

@gnome is cozy computing.

Adwaita apps are calm, focused, consistent. Tasks can often be done offline. Even badges for unread notifications are tinted blue and not red.

Non core apps are maintained by indie developers scratching their own itch. With GNOME Circle, a community of more experienced people help review and polish them.

GNOME is the village of Gauls peacefully resisting the Big Tech Empire with its sole existence.

Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.

Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.

People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.

Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.

I think it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate all the non technical work that goes behind this announcement.

The KDE e.V. and broader ecosystem is mature enough to develop working relationships with a major vendor, and keep working with them!

Congrats to the whole @kde ecosystem for these massive news again!

I see a lot of reporting about the Louvre theft and that the French people are "relieved" that thieves got caught or that we feel "humiliated" that it happened in the first place.

Absolutely not. Nobody around me cares one bit about it. We care about the public service disappearing, we care about the rampant corruption in the political spheres, we care about the pensions they're trying to steal from us.

We're more than ready to trade stupid jewels for transparent democracy that works.

People are slowly realizing that Android only weaponized open source licenses but was always meant to be a captive platform, like people are slowly realizing that VS Code has open source code but is a captive platform.

Open source licences are not enough. They’re regularly weaponized as a tech enthusiast trap.

I want a repairable Linux laptop with a battery that will last 10h, and that will suspend reliably.

I want a repairable and reliable Linux phone that lets me phone, text, do banking, navigation, calendaring and email, without snooping on me.

Hardware innovation is dead for laptops and phones.

Now I want technology that won’t backstab me. I want tech that’s reasonably safe to use, that’s stable in time, that gives me a choice, and that adapts to how I want to use it.

@killyourfm this view is stunning! I’m sad I’ll probably never get to see these American parks, but Europe has some beautiful landscapes too.

Keep sending em pictures!

@Jojonintendo @killyourfm exactly my reaction, lovely scene!

@killyourfm why is your camping breakfast burrito better than my sedentary breakfast?!

Finished Project Hail Mary and whoa that was a good read. Scientifically accurate science-fiction but well written so you can skip the scientific details.

Strong recommendation from me!

To be usable by the less savvy, the Linux desktop lacks stability. Not software stability, but organizational and human stability.

I want maintainers to have a stable income. I want apps to last a decade, instead of having to chase the next rewrite of an abandoned project.

The Linux desktop is a beautiful accident that only exists because people devote part of their lives to it, for better or worse. We ought to support it financially, as a public service.

@badnetmask @koyax @mmeier Wouldn’t they just not issue a certificate at all if that were the case?
