oh man, this is too good. company whose entire brand is "calendly, but open source sort of" gets rid of the second half. now just:

"calendly, but slightly crappier."

excellent.

(this is why saas apps need to be #upstreamfirst ... but that's always been true.)

We're thrilled to announce that Texas Instruments is sponsoring Embedded Recipes 2026 in Nice!

the “hey” in the domain first made me worry this would be dhh whining but it’s a real person’s story:

the solution to this problem isn’t just another corporation you believe you can trust.

#upstreamfirst #localfirst

Following the advice from #postmarketOS maintainers, I submitted my nightlight patch to the LKML.
Once it will be accepted, it will become available for all the phones using close-to-mainline kernels, without having to manually add the patch to every repository.

Upstreaming the code to mainline is the only way of supporting hardware in a sustainable way (from the effort point of view), and everyone benefits of our code.

Tested GNOME Night Light on a Pixel 3 (running the latest #Linux, next-20251017 branch, with the Pixel 3 patches and the Night Light patch applied).

With @fizzo ’s patch, most Qualcomm devices can use Night Light too!

Don’t forget — you can control Night Light from the terminal, as I did for this demo. See:
$ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color

Tried #Ubuntu and was not impressed. They ruin the #GNOME experience and push the proprietary #Snap Store on users. I definitely still recommend #Fedora #Debian or #ArchLinux instead.

Canonical: Practice #UpstreamFirst more often.

Checkout my latest blog post on learning Kernel Hacking through the Kernel Self Protection Project! https://ethancedwards.com/blog/kernel-hacking-with-kspp In it, I explore ways for beginners to contribute to the kernel and why the KSPP's efforts are so important.

The upstreaming journey does not end with just getting code into the upstream kernel. The solution must continue to work for your users and customers year after year for as long as they need it. Step 1 in the journey is to see users as the goal!

Congratulations to the #systemd team on the v253 release, and a special shoutout to Josh Zivkovic at Codethink for adding a JSON output format to the `systemd-analyze plot` command.
