Time for coffee and fixing a failed keyboard update from last night.

Update: yay I fixed it! (via Arduino, not handy-dandy firmware uploader)

I understand the fuss over GIMP’s name, but it distracts from the more important point: it’s not a good app.

They built a whole GUI framework for it & then a whole desktop around that and it still stands out like a broken thumb.

basically I’m more interested in a better app than the same app with a better name

Twenty-odd years ago we were ecstatic someone came up with anything relevant in FOSS for a non-dev domain, regardless of how clunky it was.

That hasn’t been good enough for a while, and some apps are relics in more than just the way they were named.

FOSS is software + politics at its foundation. “Do what you like but make sure we can see it.”

Open Source is too. “Do what you like but give me credit.”

There’s big-ass gaps in it, but it’s politics.

Anyways, more coffee.

“Tidied up” my hard drive and cleared 100GB.

Pretty sure most of it was browser cache.

Did I mention this? I feel like I mentioned this. But I think I’ll mention it again.

Having the keyboard partially obscured is a great way to learn how much I don’t touch type.

These tweets weren’t right next to each other in my stream, but close enough that they hit my eyes at the same time.
