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. :)

Hello! I'm Hylke. I'm a product designer who codes. I design and build software. Both how it looks, and how it works.

 I love working with people from all over the world.

if you like Auroras and Bobby and want to help bring my design work to other #FOSS projects, I’m looking for sponsors. :)

"We use debian, that should be age verification enough"
Nerd culture is funny because it fooled an entire generation into thinking that if you liked sci-fi and disliked sports, that somehow made you smart.

Instead of taking any part in the monthly wayland bashing bullshit, you could just read about how electron, one of the last X11 bastions, has adjusted to wayland. Super important work!

Tech Talk: How Electron went Wayland-native, and what it means for your apps | Electron

Electron recently switched to Wayland by default on Linux, bringing dozens of popular desktop apps along with it. Here's what changed and how it affects developers and users.

FOSS is the worst of all communities, seriously
The age verification thing is great drama cause I can keep blocking the most annoying people in existence.
Having the core infrastructure for Linux distros be written with a coherent set of design goals instead of being 200 independent projects that can only interoperate via shell scripts parsing and piping output is good, actually

I feel like I'm in a fever dream wtf is this TwT
