I'm a bit late to the party, but finally got to watch this video covering all the changes in Godot 4.0, wish I had more time to play with it! I also wonder how easy it is to teach to kids, looks like a great learning platform too instead of just for games. When I was in school some kids wrote school projects in BASIC, I can just imagine what we could've done if we had access to this back then.

Tried Wayland on my laptop last weekend. It's come a long way, I couldn't notice at all that I'm not using Xorg in my GNOME session. Problem is that it froze on Saturday and on Sunday my lock screen... locked up. So while it's getting there, it's just not quite ready for me yet

At work we tried it on some new Dell laptops, but it had lots of flickering and screen artifacts.

This weekend I'm going to try it again with Plasma Desktop on my laptop and see how it goes.

@juliank Ufh. I really wouldn't want a seperate /boot partition in cases where I use btrfs as /

While I was at DebConf my backyard exploded with lots and lots of tiny yellow flowers.

@mjg59 Sadly I also can't take credit because I was in a flight over the Indian ocean! Good job to whomever did all the needful bits to make it happen, though.

@Unaccounted4 just shows you that wine runs on just about anything

Guilty as charged.

And it starts... #DebConf23

About to have a press release with local newspapers and TV channels for #DebConf23 with local team and Infopark representatives. Oddly relaxed about it too.

re: DebConf23 swag
@devrtz There are some more surprises on its way! (we dont' have enough for everyone, but for people who microblog about DebConf stuff, we'll make sure there will be!)

@zleap @aral Seems like marketing at this point, their actual hardware has become more harder to repair and repair equipment have become even more limited.

@jalcine Eep hang in there, rooting for any good news there

The only thing that I learn from history is that we're doomed to repeat it.

@juliank I used about the same the last week to keep my bedroom warm the last week. If only it was possible to build a heat ex-changer that works between the southern and northern hemispheres!

I know I'm very biased, but I'm really just blown away how easy all my Debian bookworm upgrades are going. Thanks to everyone who made that possible!

@mattl @dsfgs @ItsSheVee Yeah with so many things in the world to worry about, desktop Linux is one of the last things that needs concerned, since it's literally bigger than ever (original source from statcounter: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/126-os/16464-linux-has-over-3-desktop-os-share.html)

Last week I talked to the guys from The Changelog podcast about Debian and it's 30th birthday, it's now up at:

I haven't had the courage yet to listen to it myself, hopefully their producers managed to make something coherent from my usual Debian babbling :-)

Some pictures from yesterday's Debian's 30th birthday celebration in Kochi along with 19th birthday of OpenStreetMap.

The event was covered by Deshabhimani [Malayalam] https://www.deshabhimani.com/news/technology/open-street-map-kochi/1110867
