Oh no https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/commit/6aa320c96a37613663e8de4c275bd6c490466b01 #sudo

a friend is nearly in tears because changing their KDE font to opendyslexic also changed the font ePubs render in in okular, meaning they can actually read their assignments.

this is why apps respecting your preferences is important, and it's why libre software (and KDE in particular) is so awesome.

unrelatedly, fuck electron.

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.

That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

#LinuxMobile #gtk #gnome #librem5

So far, impressed! Camera and XMPP work right out of the box.

Completely forget: I've tagged version 0.0.3 of μPlayer (a small video player using #gtk and #gstreamer targeting fullscreen landscape playback on mobile phones) the other day:

A short #teaser of what I've been playing with lately. It's a screen recording of my #PureOS #Gnome desktop running on my #Librem14.

Sitting in front of my Librem14 is my #Librem5 pointing its camera at the notebooks screen...

my #librem5 now has auto-focus/exposure/gain/balance. And i can record video! I couldn't be happier!

For those on #Gemini, I wrote up a little on the #Librem5 a few weeks ago. I'm still getting used to it, but I am writing this post on the Librem 5 :) It is much more capable than my old Pinephone (though the Pinephone is cool).

Most important for my writing, it runs #Manuskript really well. I use #Tootle for Mastodon, and #Lagrange for cruising Gemini.

"Don't make me think" is only half of the story.

It's a #UX sin to assume that your app is the most important thing in your user's world, and add to their cognitive load unnecessarily. But sometimes the user *is* focused on your product. They don't want a low-touch, automagic experience. They want to be in control. Let them.

Don't *make* me think - but *let* me think.

This is part of why "reduce friction" is misleading. Friction is texture. Without it, there's nothing to grab on to
