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.

We are approaching 1000 #FriendsofGNOME! 🎉🎉🎉

Who is joining us to celebrate #GNOME 50?

People are rightfully angry at age verification laws.

That doesn't justify any harassment campaigns towards *any* FOSS developers, maintainers nor contributors. Turn that anger towards something productive.

Get a grip people, holy shit.

We are pleased to announce the release of GNOME 50! You can read about what our contributors have been working on at https://release.gnome.org/50

We’d like to use this new release as an opportunity to thank all of the contributors who made it happen. ❤️

Let us know what you think!

GNOME Release Notes

Discover what's new in GNOME, the distraction-free computing platform.

GNOME Release Notes

The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.

If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.

https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.

We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.

Thank you for your support!

Keep Android Open

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

Every morning I check the news to see whether the US president has made his horse a senator.

Every day I see some horrifying thing (today it's ICE killing someone in Minneapolis) and then I have to look at my work computer like "okay let's review this cute little design here" like nothing is happening.

Sometimes the routine comforts me. Other times, it feels absurd and painful.

"actually i don't like debian, i use devuan"

"ok"

"yeah, because systemd is terrible and i hate it so much, any distro that uses systemd is horrible and going against the unix philosophy and literally unusable"

"ok"

"systemd is completely counter to the goals of FOSS because it's too controlled by corporations. it's also way too bloated and takes up slightly more resources than alternative init systems. for me, saving every possible kilobyte of RAM is important"

"ok"

"which is why i only use dwm with no panel or anything else that would bloat up my screen too much. i do everything in the terminal except for when i go online, but i only go online to complain that systemd is a bad piece of software i don't like because that's my only hobby other than finding packages to delete off my system"

"ok"
