@FlatpakApps Any Flatpak maintainer or key developer around? We really need to come up with enhancements to the packaging of CLI/terminal apps. It's a huge gap that in this new CLI/TUI era Flatpak is totally unsuitable for the distribution of Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, etc., leaving that space to custom scripts or npm/brew. Obviously, 'flatpak run <RDNS-based name>' won't cut it.

Any recommendations of gentle and tasteful artists who draw logos/icons (without AI) and are open to commissions? Please let me know. 🙏🏻

All the love in the world to Sandfall Interactive and everyone involved in Clair Obscur. Thank you so much for touching our hearts and lives. Can’t wait to play the new patch and see what comes next. Tomorrow comes. #ClairObscur #Expedition33

I’m pretty sure Microsoft will pull many of its historical tricks to block many of its self-published games and some major 3rd party ones from running on Linux/WINE/Proton at all. We’re already seeing the beginning of it with TPM 2.0 + Secure Boot being mandatory plus VBS being introduced as a soft requirement (or already mandatory, too, not sure?) with CoD 7. To me, the only question is whether it will be mostly for competitive multiplayer blockbusters or scale down to smaller titles, too.

please for the love of fuck don’t have a parasocial relationship with a password manager, an encrypted mail provider, or any other security or privacy software vendor

you absolutely don’t need to defend the honor of a project you like. you especially don’t need to defend a project that’s provably doing something dangerous

when I call out keepassxc or proton or whatever in the strongest terms possible, I do it because it’s important. I do it to create awareness, not fear.

GNOME Pro Tip: The current GNOME default terminal (Ptyxis) supports transparency but doesn’t expose UI controls to adjust it.

# If using distro packaging
gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/$PTYXIS_PROFILE/ opacity .85

# If using app.devsuite.Ptyxis from Flathub
flatpak run --command=gsettings app.devsuite.Ptyxis set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/$PTYXIS_PROFILE/ opacity .85

I think the reason I love writing websites in Go so much is how simple it is to use, i can just `apt-get install golang-go` or whatever and everything just works, `go build` will give me a binary that I can immediately copy to a server and run in production if I want

I work on a lot of small projects and being able to spend ~0 time setting up my development environment is worth a lot to me
