The new "someone left their phone sitting there, take a funny selfie!" is the "open their ChatCPT app and mess with their 'Custom Instructions'."

lololol

I sometime still think about that cover of Sims 3: Katy Perry Sweet Treats pack. The way this looks like a bootleg but is actually official pack made by EA is sending me so much 😭

#TheSims #TheSims3 #Gaming

Time to make it official! I want to turn #GNOME OS, GNOME's home-grown distro for testing and development of the GNOME Desktop, into a real production-ready general purpose OS. I finally blogged about it: https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2024/10/25/a-desktop-for-all/

Mico27 released impressive #GameBoy color remake #SuperMarioBros Mini built in #gbstudio

For recap, this is what I’m usually working on:

Muzika (https://github.com/vixalien/muzika), a GNOME/GTK YouTube music client. I’ve been working towards fixing all the bugs to prepare an initial v1 release on Flathub.

Decibels (https://apps.gnome.org/fr/Decibels/) is a simple application to play your audio files.

Sticky Notes (https://flathub.org/apps/com.vixalien.sticky), an easy and intuitive note-taking application. I’ve been working towards a new version with markdown and other features.

And many more…

(Boosts appreciated)

My first blog post: Creating a cross-platform framework for truly native apps

https://david.aparoksha.dev/blog/nativecrossplatform/

#swift #swiftlang #libadwaita #gtk #winui #swiftui #crossplatform

#adwaita for #swift is no longer developed on GitHub.

Find it on the Gitea instance for Aparoksha.

This is because GitHub is the very opposite of FOSS.

#libadwaita #swiftlang #gitea #github

You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?

🚚 We have successfully migrated to gitlab.postmarketos.org!

Why and how we did it:

#gitlab

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

Apple did the research; LLMs cannot do formal reasoning. Results change by as much as 10% if something as basic as the names change.

It might have gone a bit under the radar given there has been a lot of #gnomefoundation related news these last weeks, but in the transition to gitlab's wiki, there's now a section with Board's policies: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Board/-/wikis/Policies#board-member-policies. We hope that helps with transparency and build more trust on directors' goals and duties. As a bonus, they should help new candidates next year understand what being a member is. Thanks @allanday for the great work on it!
