For #GNOME 50 X11 session was finally removed, making #Wayland the only available session.

This opened doors for many clean-ups and improvements, with more in the future! Thank you for everyone involved♥️

hey everyone,

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

Firefox's new 'Smart Window' mode is taking shape in development builds, so I had a play around in a beta build.

It revamped the browser UI to a prompt-based browsing experience, powered by your choice of LLM – OpenAI, Alibaba or Google – with your tabs, searches, questions and entire browsing history all handled on each company's servers...

If you maintain a @jazzband project, expect an email before @pycon. django-commons is a great option if you're looking for a new home, they've already taken on several projects and got the governance right from day one.

There’s a meme going around that an Open Source project “can’t” prevent LLM use by contributors because there’s no technical means to enforce this. This is idiotic and shows just how disingenuous slopmongers will be when told they can’t just submit slop.

Did you know there’s also no technical means to enforce that you didn’t copy some code you’re contributing from a proprietary codebase and say it’s original work? Somehow we haven’t given up on that!
