Made keerai (spinach) milagootal today. Many know Indian food as what you get in restaurants but things like this are only available in the homes of South Indians. #food #indian #southindian #tamil

The news said that Dolly passed away after a brief bout with cancer. I'm glad that she didn't suffer too long.

RIP #Dolly Parton - really sad day.

This man's social media game is something else. An extraordinary communicator.

💗😍🥰🥰

Wanna know something interesting? The 6th avatar of Vishnu was Parashurama. This guy went on a epic journey of revenge and killed every king everywhere except for 1 or 2 bloodlines. "good, bad, I'm the guy with the axe". Brutal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parashu...

These communist accusations are so weird, do they even land? I mean anybody born after the cold war are probably not emotionally invested in communism or socialism. Like you defeated communism - no country is really communist anymore. This isn't 1955.

😂 I'm on Team Count Binface!

@joshtpm.bsky.social I was reading your last backchannel regarding reforming SCOTUS.. any indications that the Dems are up for making these changes? They tend to be more considerate and careful modifying working structure. In other words, will they meet the moment?

Alice Ball was 23 when she developed the first effective treatment for Hansen’s disease (leprosy). The first Black woman to earn a master’s degree from the University of Hawaii, she saved thousands of lives through her work. She died at 24 before receiving the recognition she deserved. #SheShed

jrb the maintainer of #gnome app 'Crosswords' showed me, it running on android natively. He made no changes to the app, it works on the GNOME desktop as a full desktop and as a mobile app on #android. That's pretty cool. #gnome #apps #mobile #android

This post by a (former?) Republican still in office in Oregon - moved me to tears because of his humility. He gets it. cyrusjavadior.substack.com/p/i-was-wron... #abortion #politics #oregon

Neil Armstrong: ""That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," Reid Wiseman: "Dude... No way!" 😂 Love it :)

We’re excited to announce our keynote speaker for Linux App Summit 2026 - Lennart Poettering. Lennart will be presenting: “Adding Trust to Linux-based OSes, and what that means for the Desktop & Apps” Don’t forget to register at: linuxappsummit.org/register/

@joshtpm.bsky.social I was reading your latest back channel (vol8#19) and I feel like you missed out on the Israel dimension. I don't think they want either parties to stop. Israel seem to be invested in the end of the current representational govt of Iran.

@justingarrison.com I was reading your update on immutable OSes and I wanted to mention that you've missed one :-) I refer you to os.gnome.org - we're moving bluefin to it - see github.com/projectbluef... - bluefin will be moving to bootc but gnome os will continue it's current course.

I expect @radiofreetom.bsky.social to do his usual commentary for the #SOTU. Nobody does a more entertaining job than he does. I expect a good show, sir!

#FOSSY call for papers got announced. But I'm a bit leary going to Canada. Not because I'm worried about Canada, but it seems like the U.S. border control guards at the border are much worse than at the airports. If you're gonna get screwed over it will be there. This is speaking as a citizen […]

I get the feeling that open source is not as big of a topic here on bluesky as it is on mastodon. Bluesky seems to be where all the politics have gone.

Wanted to point out that the conference I'm helping to organize around #Linux #applications just created a social media account. I hope you'll follow. We will be announcing dates soon! #gnome #kde #linuxappsummit Follow @linuxappsummit.bsky.social !

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116087571530458888 This is such an interesting thread as it exposes the friction between ATProtocol/ActivityPub. Clearly, there are some cultural issues. It's important to understand and I say this often to our own desktop projects - we are always […]

Test post to see if postiz works.

One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME! Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: donate.gnome.org #GNOME #GNOMEFoundation #OpenSource #Linux #FOSS

I've been playing around with LLMs and all this MCP stuff. I created an agentic workflow that connects @planifyapp, evolution and so on. It's pretty rad. It improved my productivity. But, I find LLMs to be very fragile. If you change the LLM or update the LLM the flows break. I don't know how […]

@michaelcrider.bsky.social hey Michael, if I wanted to get on the "Dualboot Diaries" how would I go about doing that? I represent the Linux App Ecosystem that are composed of KDE and GNOME. (I'm a long time GNOME contributor) Would love to know. Thanks!

I appreciate him using his voice. But ranting and then sending letters is not going to help us here. There needs to be some clear actions that we can do collectively. I hope that we can figure out the right way forward to support the rule of law and the constitution.

Helping the launch campaign of Eric McGuire who is running for Beaverton school district zone 2! Political action always starts at the local level. Elect folks who will protect children's education and their safety.

I hope we will all enjoy the last few days of a sane federal govt before the shit starts raining. Just remember, the media and conservatives need liberal outrage to complete the circuit. Don't give it o them. One way to do that is to unfollow liberal boosters.

The lack of being able to create a webapp on #firefox is annoying.

One of the more interesting things with our economy is how much cheaper tech stuff is compared to groceries. A 2TB SSD stick is $130 and that's like two grocery store visits. That was never a thing before.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Battle.net account creation is terrible. It has a difficult captcha thing and I'm the end it just fails and I couldn't even create the account after 4 attempts after solving all the puzzles .. meh

New This Week in GNOME (TWiG) - thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2024/1... #gnome #linuxdesktop #appecosystem

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process. For $250. For her classroom…

Happy 12 + 12 = 24 day!

I strangely don't have much to say on this site. Election kind of broke me and I don't feel like discussing politics. On mastodon, I spend time talking about FOSS and what not. Any #linux and #gnome and Linux App Ecosystem people out there?

first post - howdy! :) I probably need to do some work here, I'm usually on mastodon, but I'll try to post here from time to time.

Folks, remember again that "block lists" on Bluesky are being used for mischief, by putting a lot of people on them and then giving them names that sound reasonable as people to block. Don't use them. Curate your own blocks - it's still small enough here to do that.
