what I really hope is that they are able to make enough of them to meet demand. But I am not super hopeful.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Of course you need one. Because of *journalism*! How do you want to test if Box64/Box86 and FEX-Emu work on the Pi 5?

@Richard With planning and coordination many things can be turned into a complete f***up! (not that planning and coordination are bad things)
in reply to Muse

Heh. Well, the stupid but true answer to that is "don't f*** it up."



Now that we're a lot more open to fixing things on Wayland let's actually address the legitimate use cases for letting clients suggest positioning gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland…
in reply to Brodie Robertson

"Ensures the compositor always has the final say about placement, and the client may only provide hints"

As long as this is true, I'm good. I personally love that apps don't choose their own position and always follow the opened centered on screen rule. Meanwhile, my XWayland apps open whenever they want, ignoring the centered on screen rule.

in reply to Leaflet

@that_leaflet Check out the scientific apps listed for why opening centered is a bad idea

Ukraine and Russia traded barbs in the UN’s top court over the legality of the invasion. What could happen next in the case?

It boggles me when anyone supports a country that is neither truthful nor reliable when it comes to its actions. It's like trying to make a deal with chaos. I suppose the same could be said of trusting the US. It still boggles the mind.

I've mentioned the Artisans Coop (artisans.coop/) before, but it's time to remind folks. This is a neat new by-the-artists, for-the-artists cooperative -- sort of like Etsy, but with a much healthier business model.

And it's almost time! The official launch day is imminent (October 2). Check it out, spread the word, and if you're an artist yourself, consider this as a better place to sell your stuff! Follow at @coopartisans

San Francisco is apparently arguing now about whether needle exchange programs are a means of "enabling" their drug addicted neighbors. Apparently we have all memory-holed that the original rationale wasn't enabling, it was AIDS and hepatitis. Remember that when Mike Pence banned needle exchanges in Indiana, HIV and hepatitis went through the roof.

Wait the “presenter overlay” feature in #macOS Sonoma doesn’t work with 3rd party webcams?? Guess I can’t use the one feature I was kind of excited about 🙄 arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0…

Developer beta of iOS 17.1 is out, and there are a bunch of changes in the Music app. I got to work on everything around Favoriting and would love to hear what you think!
Personally I really like the animation of the favorite button in Now Playing.
in reply to Tim Roesner

Very nice! Would love to have some animations like that in our app too eventually.


I released my Narrat Jam 2 game yesterday ✨​ I made a lazy post about it at 2am but I was sleepy and it wasn't great, so here's more info.

🍂 ​A walk through the forest 🍂​

Playable on :html5::ms_computer::ms_gamepad::ms_computer_mouse:

This is a game where you walk through a forest, looking at pictures and identifying plants.

It is not at all a game about random ramblings of my brain :ms_shush:

It's meant to be a chill reflective experience that hopefully will fill your brain with thoughts.

Game link: lianana.itch.io/forest-walk

Submitted for the Narrat Jam 2: itch.io/jam/narrat-jam-2/rate/…

Ever since getting the FineWoven case, I’ve been trying to think of what the material reminds me of…

And then I saw the inflatable mattresses we use for camping in the garage.



Dear open source committers and developers: never, EVER do this.

Newcomers need encouragement, mentorship, and support. Never dismiss days of work. Give them feedback and send them back to do it correctly.

OpenBSD is actually pretty good at massaging newcomers into producing solid patches, if you can ignore the haters on their mailing lists.

(blog post found via @vaurora, it's an excellent writeup of a problem I've seen too many times.)



Equality vs Equity vs Justice

Last night, a friend said, "I believe in equity not equality".

Today, I wanted to make sure I understood what he meant and found this page with illustrations that do a fantastic job of "ELI5" these concepts.

Hey friend, guess what! I'm in a book!

While I was in Tokyo, I did a presentation about my research on prosthetic limbs for Nerd Nite @nntokyo and they invited me to write about it for their upcoming book. The book is now in preorder and has a bunch of interesting topics (including mine!)

Roker Lighthouse, Sunderland. An outing for one of my film cameras, my Bronica SQa. I even metered from a Weston MasterIV!. I could afford neither in the early 80's, settling for a 35mm SLR, a Pentax M.E Super. #FilmIsNotDead #Bronica #BronicaSQa #Ilford #FP4 #photography #120RollFim #MediumFormat #6x6
