Woke up thinking about this collage zine I made a couple years ago and handed out at SPX. You can download it for free here:

Two communists are at a nude beach.
One says, "Have you read Marx, comrade?"
The other says "Yes, it's these damned vinyl beach chairs!"

My entertainment for this evening was rewatching the Xiph primers on digital media and I can't recommend them enough.

If you were ever remotely curious about anything releated to audio and/or video you *should* watch them. They are *amazing*.

Cheeky dog!

Q: to my colleagues in the field of computer security. I'm looking for a scholarly, peer-reviewed article to cite describing the #SolarWindsHack and in particular its supply chain compromise side. I couldn't find any, probably because it's too soon. If you know one please shout!

This list is by no means definitive, there are a great number of individuals behind @gnome keeping everything moving forwards

We often talk of programmers and designers, but what about the documenters and translators quietly working in the background?

There is no "gnome devs" - it's a bizarre group of talented people doing far more than just "dev" and often with conflicting visions yet all trying to make GNOME the best it can be

Often underappreciated (and/or dreaded :-) ) are Release Team members like @alatiera who somehow make all this build and get it out into the world

We'd have no @gnome at all without them, yet when things work we forget about them

Another is @exalm who somehow pulls amazing demos out of thin air and does a lot of behind-the-scenes plumbing for both shell and apps. They give us pretty animations, gestures and all manner of adaptiveness

#peoplebehindgnome

Random shout out for @brainblasted who has done amazing work right across @gnome 40 adapting apps to new patterns and fixing longstanding UX bugs

This will be an amazing release and a lot of that is thanks to Chris

Last year, we spent 51 days at sea during the passage from Japan to Canada, it was the hardest thing we had ever done. We kept a physical logbook of daily happenings onboard. This is that logbook, revised, and with a ton of extra notes.

If you’re wondering why rickrolls are suddenly in disconcertingly high quality, it’s because someone used an AI to remaster the original video in 4K 60fps quality 😂
