Lots to do still, but passkeys on GNOME OS via an experimental Credentials Portal, thanks to @iinuwa and the rest of the credentialsd crew.
Works with a hardware security key and with a GrapheneOS mobile phone using KeePassDX.
Anti passkey is the antivaxer of the tech world
Big @UniversalBlue fan
@AdrianVovk and I recently presented our vision for Flatpak and Flatpak Next at @LAS.
The "reporting" on it has been abysmal, focusing on some made up bullshit instead of the meat of the talk.
The only exception has been the article on @heiseonline about LAS by @keywan. The difference between the peanut gallery spreading misinformation and a journalist actually researching a topic is just night and day.
GNOME OS on an ePaper panel driven by @modos glider at 75hz over USB C. The cursor feel smoother than on some shitty 60hz LCD displays and scrolling around works surprisingly well. Absolute game changer for working on the balcony.
Trying to answer a question no sane person ever had to ask: How Hard Is It, To Open a File?
This one is about the great POSIX idea of a filesystem, and why you could not play your games and open chrome for a few days.

Instead of taking any part in the monthly wayland bashing bullshit, you could just read about how electron, one of the last X11 bastions, has adjusted to wayland. Super important work!
Days since Brodie Robertson has blocked progress on Wayland while blaming others for doing exactly that: 0
He knows the consequences of what he does, he knows his viewers turn the threads toxic, he knows that it destroys any remaining progress, he knows that developers get harassed and receive death threats because of it.
He has been told by the CoCC that this behavior is a problem.
He denies any responsibility.
This has been going on for years at this point.
Brodie often features free software developers in his videos/podcasts, which gives him some relevance and is partially responsible for his following. So this is to my fellow developers: if you collaborate with Brodie, you are contributing to the harassment and I will hold you accountable for it.
With Flatpak 1.17.0 out of the door, I wrote a bit of a retrospective and an outlook of what is going on in Flatpak land.
This one is for all the people stuck working on C projects, but want those absolutely crazy, bleeding edge language features such as... *looks at the screen, looks at the date* async/await, but are also unfortunate enough to work with dbus: we have the technology!
Oh no, I made @alatiera do fedora packaging :(
Wrote a bit about improvements to testing xdg-desktop-portal, the results of it, and why you should start contributing!
Blender is getting HDR on Linux via Wayland before Windows! This isn't by accident, but shows how creating a system with a different design creates better results for users and application developers.
