Ugh the Nextcloud Desktop client having completely broken XDG activation in 2026 is one of those things I just absolutely dread

fashion, consumerism, and sex appeal *mean something* to a lot of people. understanding product lineups and branding hasn't always been a strong suit of linux, but there's nothing saying it has to be that way forever.

Alright, I can finally say it: Nextcloud Talk with the High-Performance Backend has finally replaced Discord for calls with my friends

This might actually be the point where I just refuse to go.

We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International: "Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)." "If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA." PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements: -All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’ -ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’ ‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’ -‘email addresses used in the last ten years’ -‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’ -biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris -business telephone numbers used in the last five years -business email addresses used in the last ten years. https://www.privacyinternational.org/news-analysis/5713/trump-administration-wants-your-dna-and-social-media The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and must be submitted (no later than February 9, 2026) to be assured of consideration.

Honestly the new GitLab interface is so much better than the old one that it's making me prefer GitLab over Forgejo/Codeberg again

"Americans pivot from American platform #1 to American platform #2" really isn't news anymore at this point

My GNOME OS system has someone entered an unrecoverable state again this morning. I stg if this is caused by some stupid TPM issue again I'm going to disable that chip in BIOS.
systemd-cryptsetup fails after reboot, emergency shell does not accept root password (#1233) · Issues · GNOME / gnome-build-meta · GitLab
Summary I rebooted my system this morning and am unable to sign in. First, it asks me...

I keep on thinking back to the "nostalgia is not a strategy" quote from Carney's speech and damn I just keep on finding new things to apply this too

#Sessions does now have a shortcuts dialog and default shortcuts + shortcuts for starting/stopping things - another thing I've discovered during #GNOME circle submission preparation was that Ctrl + Q/W aren't actually connected to anything by default, so I added that too :)

Darn it, didn't get into FOSDEM's `/dev/random` room this time! Next year I guess :)

Somehow I managed to forget to add a "main menu" tooltip to my GNOME apps till this day and only the GNOME circle submission checklist finally notified me of that being a thing 🤦‍♀️
