Wrapping up a very productive GNOME design call… about accent colors! We addressed every single blocking topic and have a clear way forward. I don’t want to promise anything specific (especially timelines), buuuut it’s looking good to me.

I might write up a blog post to summarize the direction once we sort some of the little details out. But there’s a pretty good consensus across half a dozen or so people doing the work—harder than it sounds. 😅

Showtime, the video player I'm developing for #GNOME has entered Incubator and is available on the GNOME Nightly repo for testing

I'm hoping for it to replace Totem (Videos) in GNOME 48 and I will publish it on Flathub soon.

This is the forecast for New Delhi

Not a night below 30c.

The body cannot cool off and "reset".

Many people, even young healthy people will not survive this week because of #ClimateBreakdown

#ClimateCrisis is hitting us already. Not sometime in 2030 or 2040 when we have fresh targets to not hit.

This is genocide.

Indian authorities won't be able to keep an accurate tally of the dead. It is a crisis that #FossilFuel companies gave us. we need to sue them out of existence.
