If you've done a #VideoEssay on #Andor, please drop a link in here. I want to watch it. Thanks. I find everyone's takes on the show fascinating.

Playing with icon concepts for the new image viewer app. Not sure if the stack of Polaroids idea works, but I kinda love this gradient 🌈

Finished #Andor. Glad Twitter bullied me (read: talked about it amongst themselves with zero consideration of me) into giving it another try after the first episode. Happy to jump on the bandwagon and say it’s probably the best show of the year. Bring on season 2!

Finished #Andor this week and man, what a fantastic show it was, definitely my favorite one in a really long time! I could see lots of different parallels with the past and present events IRL (I'm literally living through one as we speak ) and it was captured in such a beautiful way, hope to see more mature shows like this one from Disney in the future!

Andor is a rare piece of story telling. It's a sci-fi show about how to start a revolution against a fascist Empire set in the Star Wars universe. Popular media that openly and unapologetically promotes anti-fascism without caring who it offends is a rarity in the modern day. A gem to value.

Welp, it ended up being a 14-minute draft regardless. This will go through some editing, but you cool peeps can peek at the draft early because you follow me on Mastodon! :)

To be fair, a lot of that read-time is made up of quoted text from the descriptions of all the sessions we attended! I might be able to pare it down, yet.

Maybe. We’ll see.

Me: I’ll just write a quick write-up of my/Endless OS Foundation’s experience at the Ubuntu Summit.
