Here is my RustConf 2025 presentation "10 Years of Redox OS and Rust". Make sure to watch to the end for a surprise! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlcc...

A lot of people don't know but COSMIC gets so much done by utilizing the original AI AuDHD Intelligence

COSMIC 1.10 has been released * Drawing tablets can now be mapped to displays in Settings * COSMIC Store has a new gallery mode to browser through screenshots * COSMIC Launcher uses GPU rendering for faster performance * COSMIC System Monitor allows searching apps and processes separately

Redox OS had a great August! www.redox-os.org/news/this-mo...

On Pop!_OS 24.04 * COSMIC Store > Install Updates * Logout/Login * Settings > Desktop > Appearance > Frosted Glass under Style Arriving for other distros once we tag the release next Tuesday. Have a great weekend!

Apparently there are heated arguments among OpenMandriva maintainers about whether to package COSMIC or GNOME and Davide Beatrici turned to crime to undo the packaging progress. It probably should not be, but it is hilarious to me.

California amended their AB-1856 Age Attestation law to exclude open source software using the Colorado exemption example. Thank you to the folks in California advocating for open source. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTe...

PC Gamer: "My time with Linux has been eye-opening, genuinely. Pop! OS is such a beautiful place to be. There was never a day when I got back to the office that I wasn't looking forward to booting up my PC and getting to do some work in the Cosmic environment." www.pcgamer.com/software/lin...

After Gitlab's recent announcement I am strongly considering migrating Redox OS to Forgejo, a truly open source community maintained project. about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-...

Why even have user accounts if one missing if statement in a multi-million line kernel gives everyone root

Native COSMIC printer setup and dialog were accepted for GSOC! Big thanks to Till Kamppeter for leading the initiative. summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/202... summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/202...

> force everyone out of wfh and back into the office > turn off the gasoline pump what did they mean by this

cosmic-text 0.19.0 has been released: github.com/pop-os/cosmi...

COSMIC 1.0.11 has been tagged. There's now a toggle for workspace wrapping, file names are selected up to the extension when renaming plus many more improvements. See the change summary at: github.com/pop-os/cosmi... Released on Pop and coming to your distro soon.

The latest COSMIC frosted glass WIP.

Join me on a tour of the @system76.bsky.social Denver factory where people transform raw materials into premium desktops and keyboards. youtu.be/9366taDty-k?... Thanks Pavel Dmitriev for visiting and recording the tour.

COSMIC 1.0.9 has been released. It includes performance improvements, input method support, text ellipsizing, wifi network search in settings, screenshots saved in a separate folder, and more polish and quality of life improvements. github.com/pop-os/cosmi...

Colorado Age Attestation bill update: Participants submitted proposed changes including improved consumer privacy and exempting open source software. Sen. Ball responded this morning that they'll now draft potential amendments. We're making progress.

Today, I met with Colorado Sen. Ball, co-author of CO OS Age Attestation Bill SB26-051. Sen. Ball suggested excluding open source software from the bill. This appears to be a real possibility. No illusions, it's an uphill battle, but we have an open door to advocate for the open source community.

Stop calling them datacenters in space and start calling them Space Slopera

I saw someone claiming that this is short-sighted and that someone should fork it without the new policy, since it would develop at "5×" the current rate. Genuinely, if you think you can fork RedoxOS, and long term improve its development by a 5× for more than the attention span of a grifter, do it.

Redox OS has adopted a Certificate of Origin policy and a strict no-LLM policy: gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/red...

Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

The Redox OS February report is out! This month was exciting: COSMIC Compositor, COSMIC Settings, NodeJS, Vulkan, Complete POSIX Signals, Fixed Nushell and Helix, More Boot Fixes, Better Multi-threading, Better Package Manager, Orbital Performance Monitor and more. www.redox-os.org/news/this-mo...

There has never been a time in my life when I have been less enthused to be a programmer than now.

These are my personal opinions about the operating system age bracket law passed in California (and coming to Colorado): www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/com...

Parents should parent their children, not websites, not operating systems, and not idiot politicians writing idiot age verification laws

cosmic-text 0.18.0 has been released with support for ellipsis github.com/pop-os/cosmi...

Ground-up redesigned @system76 Thelio hardware coming soon. ☑️ 10 months of design and engineering ☑️ Over 16,000 durability test runs ☑️ Over 250 hours of thermal testing and optimization #MiraMarch

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

The purpose of a system is what it does and what our system does, globally, is allow the powerful to avoid any form of justice

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I saw it too:

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

What is documented in the data is *worse*. 35% used AI after being told not too, and 25% continued after getting scolded for it. It's not just deteriorating their skills, its actively making them incapable of learning them again. The fact that Anthropic of all people is publishing this is wild.
