I’m done cross-posting @elementary to Twitter. I really hoped it would get better, but with the latest news of Elon promoting Ron DeSantis’ presidential run, I’m done. It’s become a far-right social network no different from Parlor or Truth Social and I won’t be a part of it.

Very happy to see this issue closed via commit and very much looking forward to seeing the new fully-light light mode in GNOME :)

Elon Musk is launching the presidential campaign of Ron DeSantis, the man working to make The Handmaid’s Tale a reality in the US.

At least the Germans had guns to their heads if they opposed the Nazis. What exactly is your excuse for continuing to support this man and his social network?

On GNOME, live coding during a presentation and need quick access to snippets? (e.g., that URL for something, etc.)

Check out the Copier GNOME extension. You set it up with the path of a directory where you have .txt files stores and it lets you select them from a system menu and copies the one you selected to the clipboard.

Simple. Beautiful. Love it! (Took me ages to find this.) )

Well, it might take a few more minutes in front of the mirror but I think I still scrub up well for three years shy of the big five-oh. All dolled up and ready to fly to Paris for my talk on Kitten* and the Small Web tomorrow at #NewCrafts.

Can’t believe this year marks my 40th year of programming.

I owe a lot to my dad bringing home that IBM XT compatible and a BASIC manual when I was 7.

I’m fact, that’s where my talk tomorrow begins…

Tech speakers, it's 2023. Stop using moms as your example of a non-technical audience. It's wrong, its not funny, and whatever you were saying, now most of your audience is not thinking about it.

Just use the exec team as an example instead and get on with your life.

Just updated Fedora Silverblue before the trip to Paris. There’s something about literally running today’s operating system* that never gets old.

This is how #democracy is lost. Chickenshit businesses capitulate to threats and harassment instead of fighting back. So disappointed in you #Target!

When someone tells you they work “in privacy”, ask them who pays them and then you’ll know whether they work for or against protecting yours.

In WTAF #News

Teachers in Dallas just received this book in their teacher boxes.

Is THIS book safe for kids #txlege #Texas #GOP?

We are traumatizing 3rd graders so Republicans can win elections. Just wait as more kids learn the truth that their fear and pain was preventable.

That just made me sick to my stomach thinking of my 5 year old reading that. I just put CW.

Fuuuuuuuucckkkkkk the GOP!!!!!! :blobcatreeeeeee: :meowTableFlip:

Stay Safe Run Hide Fight disgusting Pooh book
