My dad, who is constantly bored, is a talented home improvement hobbyist craftsman. Can fix up pretty much anything. He has #ADHD, keeps asking me to remind him to do stuff, he keeps not doing it, months pass.

I've now set up a cron job that calls a homemade Python script (that I'd update over SFTP) to put one task in front of him at all times on his #GNOME computer, using this #GNOMEShell extension:
extensions.gnome.org/extension…

I don't know whether that makes me a chaotic good or lawful evil son.

That's why we're very fortunate that #gnome recently got funding from the #SovereignTechFund. One of the sponsored projects is to implement GL robustness in #gnomeshell / Mutter, so if the driver stumbles when trying to import some unusual buffer you won't lose your session.

Regarding the future of video playback in #gnome I'd like to add some more context around current developments in #gnomeshell, #gtk4 and #Wayland in a short 🧵

TL;DR: by making use of more modern hardware features we're finally in the position to catch up to other platforms with regards to energy efficiency. So let's do it!

Last November I tooted about getting ready for the first release of #temperantia, the project I've been working on for the last couple of years, which include #GTK3 & #GNOMEShell themes, an icon theme, some color schemes, and wallpapers. Since then I've literally worked day and night, but it's still not finished. I've felt so much shame and embarrassment about this, and what better way to expel such emotional states than to publish my final TODOs. Because now it's happening for real.
Screenshot of the GNOME desktop environment (v. 3.38), using a custom light theme, with two windows open - GNOME Terminal and Nautilus. At the bottom is a dock (Dash to Dock extension). The wallpaper has a light gray background color. At its center is a sphere shape in two colors: one half is pink, the other blue-green. Two thick lines stretch diagonally across the screen, behind the sphere - a yellow line toward the top left screen edge, and a violet one toward the bottom right screen edge. The top panel is floating and has a dark gray background color. The "Activities" button is replaced by an icon - the same kind of sphere shape as the one on the wallpaper. The dock is colored using the same dark gray background color as the top panel. The terminal window is placed at the top left half of the screen. Its corners are slightly rounded, and it has a deep, dark blue-gray background color. Foreground elements are mostly bright blue-gray, but also bright pink and orange. The Nautilus window shows the home directory. The accent color is pink, as are the folder icons. The window's background color is a soft off-white color, and the headerbar has a slight gradient.
