  I've now updated the #Budgie Desktop stack to 10.10.3 in #Fedora 46 (rawhide). Will sanity check it on the nightly ISO and assuming all looks good, I'll merge it into Fedora 45 tomorrow and check if I need to file any exceptions to get it landed for the release. Will also be updating my local set of Budgie Desktop packages + deps for aerynOS tomorrow and get that submitted for review!

  For the last week or so, I have been secretly cooking up a big change for Budgie Desktop View for the upcoming #Budgie Desktop 10.10.3 release. Arbitrary desktop icon positioning is finally arriving! YouTube: https://youtu.be/hwBdpU55mbY MakerTube / PeerTube: https://makertube.net/w/61ouCSQb6AvVobRU2B2P1m #OpenSource #linux #BudgieDekstop

  Not bad for just a bit over a day across YouTube and MakerTube! Especially given how rarely I post content 😄

  After a couple weeks of daily-driving #SailfishOS on the new Jolla Phone 2 (2026), here's my take on the European, privacy-first alternative to the Android and iOS duopoly! #Jolla #EuropeanPhone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdRT1MazTyA

  Deep in the edit of my #Jolla Phone 2 review. Sooooon (TM). #SailfishOS

  Someone made a really great, native Sailfish OS app for Immich and it inspired me to finally get it set up on my home server. Really handy for automatic photo and video backup! Immich and this app are really great pieces of kit. #JollaPhone #SailfishOS

  There's nothing quite like realizing how truly little data storage you actually have... after recording RAW + N-LOG HIGH video at 1490Mbps. I have suddenly taken a great interest in knowing every detail of N-LOG HIGH vs NORMAL, and the meaningful quality differences to H.265.

  The Jolla Phone 2 launch event was an absolutely incredible experience yesterday. I had the chance to meet so many lovely people, engage in many great conversations including with folks that will be first-time Sailfish OS users. Here are is a big thread with some of my favorite photos, in no particular order (aside from this post ;)) #Jolla #SailfishOS

  Only two days until the #Jolla Phone Day1 launch event! :pepeclap: Looking forward to the device, not quite looking forward to moving all my apps over 😁

  I wish more buildings looked as quirky and colorful as those near Pikku Huopalahti Park. Test shots on my Canon R50 with a Helios 44-3 lens.

  Test shots with the Helios 44 at f/2 (snails) and f/2.8 (dandelion and tree). Absolutely love the bokeh and swirl! I mean, that is half the reason why I and everyone else gets the lens after all... #photography

  The beauty that is the Helios 44 has arrived (44-3 variant). Just waiting for my M42-RF adapter! #photography #vintage

  Live tomorrow (Saturday, Jan 31st) at 1100 UTC. The goal is simple: Integrating KConfig for configuration into our Mir-based Wayland compositor for Budgie 11. https://youtube.com/live/f1DFEwLY1kI

  Going to be live again tomorrow (Sunday, February 1st) at 1100 UTC for more #Budgie 11 Magpie development. Working on getting VOD from today uploaded separately (some audio tweaks and trimming), so keep an eye on my channel for that. https://youtube.com/live/B9gbBNfWqdo?feature=share

  Tomorrow (Wed. Feb 4th) at 1530 UTC I will be live again for more Magpie development for #Budgie 11. I will be doing some (necessary) code cleanup / re-organization, taking a look at #Qt6 QKeySequence, and Mir / Miral API exploration! https://youtube.com/live/2NBZ9E-h0ag

  I will be live Wednesday (today for me :P) at 1530 UTC for more Budgie 11 work! I will be implementing configuration in our panel for budgie-shell, particularly: screen edge, per-region extension lists, and per-output (more to come there later). https://youtube.com/live/Pjk7sMzEioU

  Gonna go live tomorrow at 1300 UTC for some last minute fixes (IconTasklist PR), release prep, and the actual release of Budgie 10.10.2! Tune in for a peak behind the curtain at https://youtube.com/live/I6mMyN_yHyE?feature=share

  It's been a couple months since my last #BudgieDesktop 11 stream (oof) but the sun is here, energy is back, and so are the streams! Tomorrow at 15:00 EEST: "Building Budgie 11 #5: Finding Common Ground on Outputs". We will be teaching Budgie Desktop Services to speak wl_output (via KWayland) so the Budgie 11 shell (panels, notifications, and more) can find the right displays no matter the compositor. Plan is to land wl_output support, then split it out into a library....

  Now live for some #BudgieDesktop 11 dev related to Budgie Desktop Services! Objective of this stream is reduce our usage of the wlr_output_management protocol, particularly for getting output info (instead get as much as possible from wl_output). https://youtube.com/live/pmTfDJ8BtjA

  VOD for 5th installment in Building #BudgieDesktop 11 streams is now up at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=399k836lSMU Good progress made on generalizing a lot of the "meta" interfaces, state management, output manager, etc. Was a deeper rabbit hole than I expected!

  Tomorrow (May 1st) is a holiday, which means free day to stream Budgie 11 dev! Work continues on wl_output support in #BudgieDesktop Services, which I've made good progress on generalizing interfaces for off-stream. Live 1500 EEST at https://youtube.com/live/MxAXGDTpQzg #OpenSource #Linux

  Glimmer of hope for the world: Stop killing games public hearing in the European Parliament was yesterday and there was really positive reception from MEPs, with clear actionables by the commission. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSla5vfGi3A

  After 8 iterations and a bunch of shim prints, finally have my Ender 3 V3 SE bed almost perfectly level. Still have a glass bed on the way, which should fix the center being lower, but the deviation is just slightly higher than my typical layer size (0.12mm) so very happy with these results.

  Man even with the flu vaccine, whatever strain is going around is really draining. So much for a productive four day weekend... Was really hoping to do some Budgie 11 streaming 🫠 Also really got some Fedora stuff I gotta get done and file freeze exceptions for.

  Blackmagic just added in photo editing and image / album management into Resolve (with 21). Will have to try this out and compare it against Darktable! https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/photo Press Release: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/release/20260414-01

  I had the opportunity to meet up with @jolla again to talk about (and see!) how the new Jolla Phone is progressing, including new iteration that is using tooling and not hand-made. The tolerances are really fantastic now. No gaps! The buttons and privacy switch felt firmer, with the power button now being a bit more recessed to make accidental presses harder. Gone is the antenna tape, proper antennas are now around the device. Stronger battery shield. There were some design changes made to the...
