📢 Owl is now on GitHub! 🎉

After an unsigned long long wait, I'm finally releasing the source code of Owl, my portable #Wayland compositor in Objective-C that runs on Mac OS X, the Hurd (and probably just about anywhere else thanks to the magic of #GNUstep). Along with it, I'm also publishing the port of Wayland that runs on OS X.

Please note that Owl is still very much a work in progress. It's amazing that many things work, but naturally others don't. There's a lot to improve!

"How does Js feel like"

If you followed my GNOME Builder/deviced tutorial and it didn't work, it's because I forgot a step. Oops! You need to enable network discovery on the phone. The tutorial is now up to date: https://www.jwestman.net/2021/08/06/tutorial-mobile-dev-with-builder.html

just completely fucking dumbfounded by this robot amazon announced recently. $999 for this thing. it's just a goddamn alexa on wheels and a shitton of cameras. it can't handle stairs. the advertising has it patrolling your house for intruders (you know like a fucking set of security cameras can already do if you're that paranoid). amazon is not even trying to hide their intentions with this thing. i have never seen something more worthy of a platinum internet of shit medal. jesus christ

If you use #GMail, #Google keeps records of everything you buy, even if you delete the email receipt, and even if you didn't buy the product from them. Here's metadata from my takeout showing price, delivery address, description, vendor, etc. #privacy

Finally we have a decent and fully functional language server for #Vala in #GNOME Builder :3

I'm super happy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

By sharing the audio as a network stream, you can use devices that are not intended to be used as audio sinks (eg. smartphones) to receive it.

For example, there are audio accessories that aren't compatible with desktop computers (e.g. because the computer doesn't support Bluetooth). With the help of this small tool, the computer audio can be played back on a smartphone, which is then connected to the BT accessory.

You can get more details here:

In other news, my glibc patchset that rewrites HTL GSCOPE implementation and speeds things up by eliminating all those redundant gsync calls has been finally merged upstream as of yesterday!

And it only took four months...

Today I merged the new ability of #GIMP clone/heal tools to work on several layers at once (each layer cloning from self to self). Useful when you need to clone exactly the same way on several layers (e.g. here with texture and diffuse/normals/displacement maps).

Когда включаешь Carpenter Brut, громкость обязательно выкручиваешь на полную. Никак иначе его слушать нельзя. Это закон. Да, ушам может быть больно, но их совсем не жалко. Totally worth it.

This app looks absolutely incredible. :o https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.subhadeepjasu.ensembles/
