Queer Indian developer from Montréal, Canada :3

I'm a @gnome Foundation member who maintains Upscaler and Refine, develops GNOME Calendar, and actively works on accessibility throughout GNOME.

Please consider donating if it is not too much trouble: https://tesk.page/#donate

Just a couple of warnings for those who are considering following me:
• For personal posts and posts that I believe deserve serious attention, I'll take the liberty of boosting them a few times over the course of a few days.
• I won't add any content warning for serious topics that are actionable.
• I am vocal about FOSS and real-world politics. If I notice unacceptable behavior from someone, I will likely call them or their behavior out in public. Expect drama. However, in return, please call me out of my unacceptable behavior.
• This might come to a surprise, but I have feelings. Expect rant posts.
• No alt text or bad alt text, no boost.

Recently we celebrated Trans Day of Visibility, but words alone aren't enough. If you want to apply for GNOME Foundation membership you don't need to provide your legal name, you can use your actual name!

We recognise the cruel reality that many trans people's legal names are deadnames.

Framework listens to their audience so much that they send another pre-release laptop to DHH.

Enjoy the new Nazibook 13 pro.

Over the past 50 years asset ownership, particularly housing, concentrated at the top and everyone else lost leverage. AI is now repeating that pattern by concentrating ownership of computing in the hands of a few. Protect yourself by owning what you can: your skills, equity, local tools, your operating system, and your own data.

I’m no longer employed by Red Hat.

As a result, any projects I maintained there as part of that employment should no longer be considered maintained by me, whether in that former capacity or otherwise.

Because those projects were solely maintained by me, they may now fall into an unmaintained state unless other community members step in. I am not available to maintain, review, or support them in any capacity for the foreseeable future.

Mid-life transitions

The past few months have been heavy for many people in the United States, especially families navigating uncertainty about safety, stability, and belonging. My own mixed family has been working through some of those questions, and it has led us to make a significant change. Over the course of last year, my request to relocate...

Fun fact: 0.0001% of 4 trillion is 4 million. Apple is worth $4 trillion USD. Let that sync in

I don't know what GNOME 50 did with animations, but it just feels *so* right. I usually disable animations on both my android and linux machines because I'd rather just have it feel snappy. But in GNOME 50, the animations are very subtle and fast enough that I barely notice it's there. It just feels great all-round. Good job to whomever has been working on this!

After two years of development, we're happy to announce Graphs 2.0. It's by far our biggest update yet. We're targeting stable next month, with an official beta period in the meantime.

Highlights include proper equation support with an infinite canvas, a redesigned style editor with live preview, error bars, SQLite & spreadsheet support and much more.

Any feedback is welcome :)

For more information on the changes or how to get the beta, see: https://blogs.gnome.org/sstendahl/2026/04/14/announcing-the-upcoming-graphs-2-0/

Announcing the upcoming Graphs 2.0

It's been a while since we last shared a major update of Graphs. We've had a few minor releases, but the last time we had a substantial feature update was over two years ago. This does not mean that development has stalled, to the contrary. But we've been working hard on some major changes that...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116375694963358260

I appreciate that EFF has left X. it certainly took them a lot longer to do that than some other organisations. And they did not because of CSAM, but because they weren't getting as much engagement as they used to.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."

There are other reasons for why @eff stays on a platform that they elaborate. And it's... fair. But we need to push and direct folks to more ethical platforms.
