  I just finished EndVertex’s video essay on for-profit creative software, and it’s really good. Not only is it an insightful walkthrough by someone with lots of experience on the matter, it is also super entertaining, personal, and well-made, with animated sketches between each segment. I highly recommend watching it. https://youtu.be/I4mdMMu-3fc #foss #blender #adobe #autodesk

  In light of the recent public discussions about the GNOME board member suspension, someone on Reddit was looking forward to the release of COSMIC to get away from unnecessary "politics" in free software. Probably not having realized that COSMIC is one of the most significant results of community politics gone wrong in the modern free computing space. https://blogs.gnome.org/christopherdavis/2021/11/10/system76-how-not-to-collaborate/

  I’ve released a tiny #Keypunch update on #Flathub, with a couple of bug fixes and linguistic corrections. Thanks to @ButterflyOfFire and @GeopJr for offering orthographic/cultural consultation on Kabyle and Greek respectively. #GNOME

  In other news, I’m looking for a new Mastodon instance, for multiple reasons. I’ve already got some recommendations, but feel free to throw me any suggestions you have. Some qualities I’d love to see: - Supportive of free software, but not necessarily super technical or with a laser focus on that - Progressive moderation policies - Longevity, not likely to shut down or purge accounts anytime soon - Straightforward to support financially

  I've applied for an account on sunny.garden — it seems like a really nice and well-run server, and the focus on independent creators of any kind is also something I can identify with.

  @aks@scalie.zone Since you mentioned it: this week Calligra is the first KDE app (as far as I can recall) to pass all the requirements and be featured!
