Gosh, using Plasma after using GNOME for so long (and COSMIC for a split second) feels so weird yet right. Everything feels so polished with system sounds and simple yet fluid animations. Enjoying it :)

Does anybody have any recommendations on books that go over accessibility in software, specifically operating systems? I've been wanting to make postmarketOS more accessible but I only have a surface-level understanding of what is needed. I'm sure there's *lots* of small details that would be missed and would make accessible implementations next to useless due to missing them. tl;dr good books on accessibility in operating systems? #Accessibility #a11y #PostMarketOS

This took annoyingly long to setup and it is already past my bed-time, but here y'all are. There was a small regression in the framebuffer, but that can be fixed pretty easily. All the modern code was done by @npub1xhad...dvs8. I just did the postmarketOS integration. Give 'em a follow! (Ignore the bad camera quality. This is the best camera I have, ironically enough.) #iPhone #Linux #MobileLinux #postmarketOS #LinuxOnIPhone

Every time I see somebody boasting about hyprland I have two dueling thoughts. First is that they probably just see a cool-looking wm and wanted to try it out. The second is that they are supporting a very negative community and legitimizing it. The solution is usually to say that that's cool and then explain my reservations about it. Usually people fall into either "oh no I didn't know about that" or "yeah, so what?". Only one of those is worth continuing the conversation.

Nix is an interesting language. Why is there a billion ways to do one thing, and every person has a different opinion on what is the "right way"... #Nix #NixOS

Hey Fedi! If you use Linux and use an init system / service manager other than systemd, what do you like about what you are using? Everybody asks how these compare to systemd, so I wanted to see what people thought of them stand-alone. #Linux #OpenRC #SystemD #RunIt #s6 #whathaveyou

New post up on my blog (now with a custom domain name!) about the first week of solile development and some basic ramblings about it. https://blog.ofstars.red/posts/solile-week-1/ #solile #MobileLinux #Linux

Announcing MUD. MUD is an attempt to create an entirely new desktop based on philosophies from Lomiri, targeting mobile form factors only. The goal is to be as generic to Unix-likes as possible, only requiring wayland support and minimizing Linux-isms. Another major goal is to keep the project as simple and modular as possible to prevent feature creep and make dev easier. More information is coming soon... #MobileLinux #LinuxMobile #Linux

I honestly don't know much about how accessability works (or doesn't) on Linux. I know about brltty, orca, and accesskit, but that is about it. I'd like to make postmarketOS more accessable though. #Accessability #a11y #PostMarketOS #Linux

niri being in postmarketOS is awesome! (Still ironing out the kinks right now. Gotta send in another MR to make things smoother.) #niri #postmarketOS #Linux
