Purple is my natural hair color. I have strong opinions about software and sometime I even get to make them reality. Same for the state of the world in general, but I have a lot less influence there.

Professionally: Linux Graphics Plumbing for Qubes OS. Unprofessionally: aarch64laptops, postmarketOS, lots of random projects, local activism/politics.

STREAMERS BEWARE: You might know that Google doxxes your location in the page footer. Turns out the AI Overview can also do it. It just had it randomly tell me where I live.

If you use UBlock to block it, you need to block the footer AND the entire AI box!

@q66 @wezm hmmm what did freebsd do? I vaaaguely remember some apps still using libstdc++ somehow after the switchover.. was it similar to how casuarina does it rn?
they tell you that the new arm native proton with wine-arm64ec fex makes everything awesome and fast but what they don't tell you is that specifically your favorite games don't work (yet)
@hailey wow this looks so much like a scam email lol
@meena i'm on the cutoff between milllennnials and gen z and i love Garbage. saw them live last year :3
@DHowett @grawity you can find both varieties and mostly even distinguish them, but DACs have started becoming "more default" since some phones started shipping without analog output support
@mntmn did valve already publish the proton? or did someone figure out the build? I remember when steam itself just dropped no one could make a proton for it.. and since then no one has screamed loud enough about figuring it out o.0
Excellent overall #LinuxAppSummit! But also kinda cursed for my ADHD because it covered so many topics of interest β€”the VM stuff that's actually my job, and peer-to-peer local-first apps, and image-based OSβ€” and I want to already work on allll that but in the end I don't have the executive function to do anything lol
