Trump being elected reminds me of this scene from Lion King when Scar takes over the pride. When lions joins with the hyenas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCyES_Piit8 #uspol

Trump: "You're gambling with World War III." History: "WWII started with a right-wing authoritarian leader allying himself with a Russian dictator and agreeing to mutually devour a country on Russia's borders. That's essentially identical to what Trump and Putin are attempting to do now. The […]

Been writing a libadwaita app to deal with some stuff related to conference organization. It's just a GtkColumnView based app. It's been fun to write. But the real thing is that I get to test the GNOME ecosystem when it comes to supporting writing a GNOME app. I have ideas on how to make the […]

Normal business - quid-pro-quo: User gives money to developer, developer gets paid, user uses software. Free and Open Source software: User uses app, openly developed, freely given. User now believes they have entered into a symbiotic relationship due to the fact that they are using the […]

Some people are so entitled. Some person on reddit wanted me to apologize on behalf of #GNOME for all the breakages. These folks pay no money for engineering and maintenance work. The maintenance and engineering is significant. All we ask is that you help and sure we are willing to listen but […]

It's nice to know that #Mastodon is working on quote toots. Looks like a lot of engineering to make it happen though.

One of the things I would really like in #matrix is to be able to add flairs to usernames in a space. The purpose is to delineate contributors who are part of a team in an open source project. For instance, we have an engagement team. We want to add _engagement_ to their flair so that when they […]

Glad I renewed my passport back in December. Federal everything is going to be cut, but you also know that they are going to hire their friends to do the work and it's going like DOGE a bunch of 25 years olds doing a startup with no actual knowledge of anything.

Google and Meta's turn to the hard left is deeply regrettable and it seems they will do things at the behest of Trump. At this point I feel that the U.S. tech industry is on its way to being compromised. The firehose of bullshit is really incredible and serves as a way to weaken the will of […]

I wonder if #google has realized how badly they fucked up with agreeing to rename Gulf of Mexico. The U.S. tech sector controls a lot of information through bing, google, etc. They've signaled that that they will do Trump's bidding. Countries will take note. Imagine if Trump wanted to rename […]

It's inexplicable that as a company you'd try to block anything related to Democrats, block former democrats on a platform that is meant ostensibly for everyone. Why would you go after your own customers? Never mind, that your own employees might have similar values.. Just inexplicable actions […]

BIden pardoning his son makes total sense. That DOJ is going to be weaponized and Trump will absolutely use it to hurt BIden as much as possible by making his son suffer.
