@mynameistillian #design talent is such a scarce and undervalued resource in #OSS. It's a tragedy. I have been lucky enough to work with some very talented designers in the space but yikes the search for them was long and hard. And also, programmers on the whole have a LOT more financial privilege and wiggle room, which affords them the option of doing open-source work in the first place. If you're not paying a designer chances are they're not eating or making rent within weeks.

🥰 Always happy to get this feedback from users 🥰:
"We have just started our MDE course, and we are adopting BESSER as the supporting framework. Yesterday we had the first class, and it was easy for students to start modeling (so much more than when using EMF"
And with them, we have already 20 universities using BESSER to teach #mde #uml #modeling

Been on a self-hosting kick lately and even started building something I’ve wanted but couldn’t find a solution I liked much for. It’s to help catalog all my books, digital and physical. Just did an update where it can now sync with BookLore which I’ve been liking for my ebooks.

I’ve pondered trying adding movies and games to its capabilities too but haven’t dug into that yet.

Oh thank $deity I can still launch #Chrome with --ozone-platform=x11 even though the configuration flag has been removed. Because #Wayland breaks *so many things* for me.
Surely I'm not the only one seeing dropdowns, tooltips etc. render in top-left corner of my screen under Wayland?
