Going to be live again tomorrow (Sunday, February 1st) at 1100 UTC for more #Budgie 11 Magpie development. Working on getting VOD from today uploaded separately (some audio tweaks and trimming), so keep an eye on my channel for that.

Getting ready for a great start to the new year - finally broke free of the Apple iOS walled garden, no longer have an iPhone and 100% degoogled.

If only I could get rid of MS. Well, that is only for work.

So, feeling a lot more free and a heck of a lot lighter.

Thank you #Mojeek #tuta #lightphone #Mudita #linux #libreOffice #vivaldi

PS: (edit) no more social media other then the Fediverse - but that is more community than social media.

2026... Definitely year of the #Linux Desktop...

And something tells me the new #Cosmic desktop environment that now comes with @system76's latest #PopOS may be a game changer

Only had half an hour this weekend to give it a try via liveUSB... but it was smooth as hell, fast, good looking, efficient... Can't wait for the Xmas break to install it and dive in deeper

And #kudos to System76's devs... reimaging the Linux Desktop and implement it in #rustlang... #awesome!

This just sounds horrendous, but is a perfect example of why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Especially a basket you don't control.

I hope he gets it sorted out.

Really surprised the GOP’s message of Trump can do whatever he wants while tanking the economy and letting people starve didn’t win over voters.

Shocking.

If you're trying to get folks to ditch #bluesky in favor of the fediverse, maybe instead of sending them needlessly complicated explainers, something like this might be useful.

Hey, Bluesky, I see that some of you are thinking about giving the fediverse (which Mastodon is part of) a/another try. Instead of sharing a yet another complicated "how to get started" guide, here's a bit about who's actually on there. https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/a-netizens-guide-to-mastodon-fediverse/

COSMIC apps border outline now matches the corner radius.

The work is based on upstream conversations to establish a corner radius wayland protocol. We'll submit our draft protocol soon. If accepted and adopted in other toolkits, compositors will be able to render clean borders around more apps in the Linux ecosystem.
