Just so you know how much JustPerfection does for GNOME Extensions, he gets approximately 40-45 extension review requests a day. I don't know how he has the time but he's become very efficient at it.

If you're an extension developers and you have a crypto account - please send a little to JP. If you care about GNOME extensions, he's a one man army.

I've been playing around with home assistant and it's just fascinating! I'm working on getting rid of alexa and google from our home (although i reckon google nest is gonna stay) but what is fascinating and frightening is the level of data that is exposed. The granularity is kind of nuts. Like I could react to someone playing a song or movie and do something. The level of surveillance I can do in my own home is crazy. #surveillance #homeassistant

I just threw out some those avocado paste tins from the fridge. It was expired. Very expired. To give you a hint how expired it was - it expired when Joe Biden was still president and 2 years into his term. 🤡

I'm trying to understand this new attitude by platform providers that they have the right to the data we create to train their AI.

If I am a paying customer, I'm already paying for the service. If they want my data they should pay for that. I'm looking at you Atlassian.

Best to use open source and #selfhost. I'm doing that for some things. I still need to figure out google photos though. Telling me that they can train on my private photos is wild. #AI #enshittification

@jti42@infosec.exchange @gnome@floss.social This was something JustPerfection and I talked about. I urged him to setup a claude.md or agents.md and put all those in there so that it would teach LLMs to do it the right way. If you leave the field, you don't have control. So better to learn in and use the tools that we have to at least reduce slop by showing what to do.

I"m going to my first #hiphop and #rap concert evah! The artist is #blackmilk and he plays a kind of chill expression of the form, with some great lyrics. I'm usually a prog rock kind of guy but I've been branching out.

They are playing tonight in #pdx at the Jack London Revue. If you're into that kind of thing and live in Portland, you should check it out.

I understand national tequila day is this friday? Well well well.. I need to come up with a appropriate GNOME inspired drink eh? Thoughts? What would be in a #GNOME inspired drink, eh?

Come up with the ingredients (with tequila) and let me see what I can come up with. :D

Maybe, cumin infused tequila, lime, contreau, orange juice and Pápalo sweetened with agave syrup? Maybe orange bitters too? (hey man, GNOME was made by Mexicans!)

@screwturn@mastodon.social @michcampbell@fediscience.org It's very simple - the premise comes by asking whether they know the topic without assuming that they might not know. That's really it. That actually goes for males too. It's just common courtesy. But it's something you have to learn because some of us generationally grew up in a patriarchy.

@ludwigseibt @halla @tragivictoria @LAS ah - unfortunately, a bit of a chicken and egg problem given that companies won't port to Linux if there is no market research that says they can make a profit. That's why financial transactions on flathub will be important so that we can measure financial success. Until then there are cloud based apps like Canva/Figma or self host options like https://penpot.app/

You're talking about risks and so on if you start doing all that you're just going to tie yourself in knots. I'm saying don't do all that.

@screwturn@mastodon.social You are way overthinking this. Just lead with empathy. If you get called out for mansplaining - you a) pause and reflect b) apologize - nobody is looking to punish you, everyone understands that it is a learning process - you're trying to learn. People will give you grace.

@VileLasagna Sure, but I think what's changed here is that paying customers using your service getting the AI treatment - like now they'll create a new tier (enterprise?) where you have to pay even more for not getting your data trained. The entire issue here is that world govts are not moving fast enough to have a new "bill of rights" when it comes to data privacy. It makes GDPR into a joke.

@stefano It is worth reading the last comment by ebassi about this change - https://discourse.gnome.org/t/please-retain-middle-click-paste/33477/68 Specifically "Changing the default is, ideally, just the first step towards improving the behaviour of GTK with regards to text areas, while removing a well-known trap for newcomers and experienced users alike, especially in a world where a “middle click” is often emulated and does not behave consistently across different platforms and application stacks."
Please retain middle-click paste
GNOME Discourse

Please retain middle-click paste

Okay, we’ve had far too many people coming here from known hostile places, insulting volunteers, and not even bothering to read the actual issue. tl;dr: There are no plans to remove support for the primary selection buffer in GNOME. GTK still provides API for retrieving the primary selection buffer GTK still provides a setting for enabling and disabling it in the widgets that it provides to application developers application and library developers using GTK are still supposed to look at that
