@killyourfm I think my main concern with waiting is that, at their previous 2023 event, the products announced at the time were at least a few months away from actually shipping, if not longer. could very well be the same situation for this event

but, no matter what I end up deciding to do, I'm still _very_ interested to see what they announce here

@killyourfm @frameworkcomputer I was one day away from ordering my Framework 13, already got the RAM and storage separately, then this morning I got the email about this happening

Now I'm having a heavy internal debate on whether to wait for the event, or to just go for it with the 13 now

@killyourfm Was it replaced with anything, or is it just completely gone? Is their Software Boutique gone too? I agree that's disappointing, it was a really nice feature of Ubuntu MATE

also I searched "Mastodon" and over half of the results are people shitting on Mastodon

feeling very validated in not wanting to use Bluesky before

i went ahead and made a Bluesky account because of friends using it

my plan atm is to rarely, if ever, actually post to it but instead use it as a "btw I'm mostly active on Mastodon" kind of thing

anyway I'll probably also be (loosely) critiquing it on things that stand out

such as: Bluesky, implement proper 2FA ffs

i'm also convinced that people saying "Mastodon is confusing" have to be lying

let's say you start from joinmastodon.org: they have "Join Mastodon.social" as the default if you don't want to worry or learn about instances. and then a fairly basic sign-up process follows. maybe one extra click vs Bluesky. yeah, *really* confusing /s

and then the Mastodon app is just as simple. again, mastodon.social provided as the default

just like "bsky.social" is the default domain when using Bluesky

tbh the tab overview is still one of my favorite things about GNOME Web

(and other GNOME apps that have it but I use it most often in Web)

#GNOME #GNOMEWeb #LibAdwaita

i've mentioned that GNOME Web nightly "feels" way better to use than Web 46, but, here's some actual numbers to put to that feeling. all benchmarks were run with the window maximized on a 1440p monitor

Web 46 vs Web nightly (47 beta) vs Firefox

#GNOME #WebKit #WebKitGTK #GnomeWeb

@killyourfm Very excited to see L4E return!
