Breaking news: Going to try multi-streaming to MakerTube (PeerTube instance). They were very kind in accepting a @buddiesofbudgie account so I could upload vids there w/out a quota (I'm supporting via Patreon) and will see how the livestreaming works out.

Tomorrow (May 1st) is a holiday, which means free day to stream Budgie 11 dev! Work continues on wl_output support in #BudgieDesktop Services, which I've made good progress on generalizing interfaces for off-stream.

Continued off stream but will see about having another stream this week :)

VOD for 5th installment in Building #BudgieDesktop 11 streams is now up at https://t.co/w9tKukRTgM

Good progress made on generalizing a lot of the "meta" interfaces, state management, output manager, etc. Was a deeper rabbit hole than I expected!

[Joshua Strobl @JoshStrobl]

Hoping to keep the stream under 3 hours today, but we'll see how it goes!

Now live for some #BudgieDesktop 11 dev related to Budgie Desktop Services! Objective of this stream is reduce our usage of the wlr_output_management protocol, particularly for getting output info (instead get as much as possible from wl_output).

I've been wanting to plan and push out content for my personal channel, but aware that many subbed for Budgie content rather than...well some of my side projects and interests (Sailfish OS, AI, etc.). So I'm "un-painting" myself out of that corner by moving Budgie content over.

[Joshua Strobl @JoshStrobl]

It's been a couple months since my last #BudgieDesktop 11 stream (oof) but the sun is here, energy is back, and so are the streams!

Tomorrow at 15:00 EEST: "Building Budgie 11 #5: Finding Common Ground on Outputs"

I intend on uploading them to our channel on the TILVids PeerTube instance as well. Just gotta see about getting an increased storage quota first! So be sure to follow / subscribe to either of those if you're interested :)

Blackmagic just added in photo editing and image / album management into Resolve (with 21). Will have to try this out and compare it against Darktable!

Thanks @juniormartinxo for creating Cloak, it's been great using this to switch between my personal (Max) and work (team) @claudeai accounts and the separation even of MCP is extremely handy. Recommended it to my colleagues at work! 💯

After 8 iterations and a bunch of shim prints, finally have my Ender 3 V3 SE bed almost perfectly level. Still have a glass bed on the way, which should fix the center being lower, but the deviation is just slightly higher than my typical layer size (0.12mm). Yay.

[Joshua Strobl @JoshStrobl]

I had a great time talking to Brodie on Tech over Tea a few weeks back, went out today. Thanks Brodie for having me on!

Just posted my first impressions of the CNC sample of the new Jolla Phone (2026) that I was able to get my hands on yesterday. It's in written form on the Sailfish forums if you'd like to check it out!

The year is 2027. Age verification has infested everything. Everyone on Linux has switched to LFS or Gentoo. All software is cloned and developed on radicle because package repositories have been outlawed.

Honestly, this is where my brain is at right now. Fucking politicians.
