Hi, my name is Lorenz, I am 19 years old, I do a lot of things, and I am interested in even more things :)

I am contributor to the #OpenSource Software projects #GNOME and #Vala (I am running @vala_lang) and I am GNOME Foundation Member.

I am from Berlin, but currently living in Phnom Penh, #Cambodia, and I am volunteering in a youth organisation here.

Also recently I got a bit into #Godot game dev.

I am posting about these things, but I want to share other things as well.

Something I recently observed on youtube:
when a video is loading, and you switch to another tab (unfocus), suddenly the youtube video stops loading and starts playing. (at least for a very short moment)
The audio from it distracts you enough and since you don't want to miss the video playing you instinctively switch back.

This should be illegal.

GSoC update! @AlleyCH is diving into the Vala compiler to bring native JSON (de)serialization support.

She has been exploring the full compilation pipeline and is working on a new valajsonmodule.vala. Adding native support will make it much easier for Vala developers to work with structured data out of the boxโ€”less boilerplate, better developer experience. โœจ

Hello World :)
@alatiera @danirabbit @cas what if we started a podcast where only upstream devs are allowed as guests :D

who's the boss in a 501(c)3?

the membership.

i had a call with a friend who is executive director of another 501(c)3 and he drew me this picture for his org. i think it's a helpful reminder that the foundation serves the project.

that's the whole reason we're here.
