Good times with good friends and good coffee are good. 
It is unpleasant to open my home's windows during the spring. The "ambiance" consists of just the noise of gas-powered lawn equipment being run. Constantly. What the heck are we even doing here.
Everything went super quick and smooth when I gave it a try on my Windows installation… My fault I guess
The interesting part is that Apple isn’t strictly the problem this time. The only thing they did wrong was make it hard to open, so I broke the plastic clips. No, instead Rockbox has been the frustration. The automated GUI doesn’t like getting permissions on macOS and only distributes an appimage on linux…
Trying to revive an iPod Gen 5, and so far it has been an exercise in frustration across 2 different os environments, and with the absolute state of the hardware market right now (why are SD cards so expensive)
Why is my health insurance sending me emails advertising random treatments
If I say I was reminded of _that_ episode of Violet Evergarden, everyone knows what I'm talking about, right?
Sometimes I need to remind myself that I’m still a good duck
Just unlocked some pretty game-changing tech: apparently, if you clean your car windows, then it’s easier to see through them. Who’d’ve thunk, huh? I’m told this can also be applied to glasses; gonna try that next

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. :)
