Ofc not only Framework's CEO, but Proton's CEO sucks as well. Why can't there be any decent product with a good management behind it 😭

I am unsure if GNOME should fully ban LLMs. But if you want to ban them, please justify it the way Jordan did. The argument that they produce slop becomes weaker every day. No, it's the impact on communities and society as a whole that's the problem!

Very excited that I finally found time to work on this. Pixi Will be so much more fun on train rides!

I didn't join GUADEC to play with my newborn, but @YaLTeR helped me with my FOMO by sending me a token of my favourite desktop environment niri.

I didn't join GUADEC this year and played with my newborn instead. But @YaLTeR helped me with my FOMO by sending me a token of my favourite desktop environment niri 😍

Seems like there's another reason not to care about Zig. Its dictator for life is toxic: https://andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html

Thank you @jorge, @tulilirockz and many more people in the ublue ecosystem for this great work!

For my own use case a lot of things just work with the developer branch that before needed research and manual adaptations:

On Bluefin:
- vscode is pre-installed
- devcontainers are set up
- virtual machines just work

I don't use the following, but I think it's nice they are already set up:
- homebrew
- distrobox

With Fedora Silverblue you have to manually rebase every six months. Even if GNOME Software worked reliably, my parents very hesitant to update if they don't have to.

With Bluefin you always stay on one branch. This means updates simply take effect after a reboot.

After many years with Fedora Silverblue, I finally gave Bluefin a shot. I was mostly curious about two things:
- is this a distribution I feel comfortable to install for a friend or relative?
- does this need fewer modifications for my personal use case

TL;DR: yes and yes.

Mastodon is right. Project Hail Mary is a good movie!

Ah great write-up of the journey to get electron to fully support wayland. And even a mention of Niri 😍

Posts like these give me hope that there is a future where I can trust my phone. My thanks goes to everyone who is involved in this movement 💚

@pabloyoyoista comes to mind, but I know there are many more

What is your worst open source contribution experience? Mine is adding dark mode support for Linux to Tauri with @haeckerfelix, just for the maintainer to ask to switch between dbus-rs and zbus multiple times over the span of 6 months.

I hate the current AI landscape as much as the next person. I associate it with excessive energy usage, disinformation and exploitation.

However, I also have to wonder reading my Mastodon timeline. There seems to be a sentiment that LLMs are inherently both unethical and useless and I just struggle to understand that point of view. Like many things in this world it's probably difficult to make them perfectly ethical, but how could one see no use case at all for the capable models of 2026?

Looking at postmarketOS, I appreciate that they try to get the social part of the project right. When I started contributing to open source I completely overestimated how important tech is for projects exceeding a certain size.

@haeckerfelix and I spent a lot of time on Pixi GUI, so I am excited that it is out now. Please give it a go and let us know how you like it!

I don't really understand why Python continues to grow in the scientific and ML space, while Julia doesn't really seem to be part of the equation. Julia would solve many problems in that field, and with AI agents, rewriting Python code bases in a different language is easier than ever.

Maybe @matthewfeickert or @Armavica have an idea?
