My old job (visiting animation faculty at hampshire college) is open! The students, staff and faculty are amazing, they were happy to have me teaching #b3d there, and it is a great experience:
Was sick of seeing the default bright titlebar for #blender in #gnome , so made a smol python hack that sets (just) the main window titlebar to the dark theme, using xprop. Only tested for Xorg/Gnome, get it on gitlab

Ooooh! If you're a Python dev in Paris looking for important work in FOSS, please read @zacchiro's post in this thread! Or just go to: https://www.softwareheritage.org/jobs/
Software Heritage is one of the most important orgs we have in the FOSS'y space, and really super wonderful people there too!
Today I implemented a new Euler filter, to remove discontinuities from rotations. If you want to help test the new filter, please download an experimental #Blender build from https://developer.blender.org/D9602 and let me know how it works for you.
Georgia is having a runoff Jan 5 to decide who our 2 new senators will be. If those senators go blue Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader. You have until December 7 to register to vote. Retweet to spread awareness even if you don’t live here.
Welcome @bkurdali and Christoph Lendenfeld to the #Animation & #Rigging module!
#apconf2020 Q&A sessions from the two talks I was involved in:
Spritely and Federation Futures Q&A https://conf.tube/videos/watch/1e9197b1-be7c-40d1-9fc3-7059b45786cb
ActivityPub Authors/Editors Panel Q&A https://conf.tube/videos/watch/2cabb25c-0979-4ef6-beaf-f3d001ecbc4c
Between 2 and 2.5 years ago, depending on whether you look at https://medium.com/we-distribute/faces-of-the-federation-christopher-allan-webber-on-mediagoblin-and-activitypub-24bbe212867e or https://dustycloud.org/blog/spritely/ I announced the Spritely project. I hedgingly joked while asked to describe it that it's "well, vaporware, mostly".
With the upcoming release of Goblins and its support for real distributed programming (on a mutually suspicious network, even) we'll be approaching the point where it'll be fair to say that Spritely is very much so *not* vaporware, is demonstrably interesting
