Not bad for just a bit over a day across YouTube and MakerTube! Especially given how rarely I post content 😄

After a couple weeks of daily-driving #SailfishOS on the new Jolla Phone 2 (2026), here's my take on the European, privacy-first alternative to the Android and iOS duopoly! #Jolla #EuropeanPhone

Jolla Phone 2 & Sailfish OS: A Real Third Option

After a couple weeks of daily-driving Sailfish OS on the new Jolla Phone (2026), here's my take on the European, privacy-first alternative to the Android and iOS duopoly. Design, hardware, cameras, and what makes Sailfish OS special, plus the trade-offs you should know going in! **Chapters** 0:00

Deep in the edit of my #Jolla Phone 2 review. Sooooon (TM). #SailfishOS

Someone made a really great, native Sailfish OS app for Immich and it inspired me to finally get it set up on my home server. Really handy for automatic photo and video backup! Immich and this app are really great pieces of kit. #JollaPhone #SailfishOS

Not bad for a "camera slider" being...an IKEA table with the camera sitting on another piece of wood...being manually pushed across the table 😁 On editing side, I used Resolve's "Optical Flow" retiming and "Enhanced Better" motion estimation, as well as "similarity" mode stabilization #JollaPhone

There's nothing quite like realizing how truly little data storage you actually have... after recording RAW + N-LOG HIGH video at 1490Mbps. I have suddenly taken a great interest in knowing every detail of N-LOG HIGH vs NORMAL, and the meaningful quality differences to H.265.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but damn the Nine Inch Nails / Boys Noize versions released a few months back are absolute 🔥

The #Jolla Phone 2 launch event was an absolutely incredible experience yesterday. I had the chance to meet so many lovely people, engage in many great conversations including with folks that will be first-time #SailfishOS users.

Only two days until the #Jolla Phone Day1 launch event! 🎉 Looking forward to the new Jolla Phone, not quite looking forward to moving all my apps over 😁

Nothing like fresh rain to wake a garden up! Shot on a Canon R50 with a Helios 44-3. #photography #nature #flowers

Apple: Here are new AI features in Photos, respecting the "original moment" Also Apple: Here, reframe your photo with a perspective that didn't happen, and extend the frame with details that likely don't even exist. Okay then... #wwdc2026

Life hard at work in the early summer, enjoying all the warmth and long sunlight hours ☀️ #photography #nature #flowers Shot on Canon R50 with Helios 44-3.

Test shots with the Helios 44 at f/2 (snails) and f/2.8 (dandelion and tree). Absolutely love the bokeh and swirl! I mean, that is half the reason why I and everyone else gets the lens after all...

I wish more buildings looked as quirky and colorful as those near Pikku Huopalahti Park. #photography #finland Test shots on my #Canon R50 with a Helios 44-3 lens.

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. Live 1500 EEST at youtube.com/live/MxA... #OpenSource #Linux

VOD for 5th installment in Building #BudgieDesktop 11 streams is now up at www.youtube.com/watc... Good progress made on generalizing a lot of the "meta" interfaces, state management, output manager, etc. Was a deeper rabbit hole than I expected!

Building Budgie 11 #5: Finding Common Ground on Outputs

In this stream, we will be teaching Budgie Desktop Services to speak wl_output (via KWayland), the foundational Wayland protocol every compositor implements. It's the groundwork the Budgie 11 shell (panels, notifications, and more) needs to land on the right displays, whatever compositor is undernea

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).

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" youtube.com/live/pmTfDJ8... #OpenSource #Linux

I had the opportunity to meet up with #Jolla again to talk about (and see!) how the new Jolla Phone is progressing, including new iteration that is using tooling and not hand-made. Write-up at forum.sailfishos.org/t/first-impr... and a couple more photos if you're interested! #SailfishOS

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! www.blackmagicdesign... Press Release:

Proud of you, Hungary.

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) so very happy with these results.

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! forum.sailfishos.org...

Oh yea, Steam Spring Sale time! Time to buy all these games that I won't end up playing!

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.
