I made a super simple Home Assistant theme because I’m kind of tired of over-complicated third-party ones. Maybe you’ll like it, too.

Apparently I’m on a music discovery kick. @katie@mastodon.blaede.family recently introduced me to The Backseat Lovers and I am really enjoying them. Idk how I would categorize them, but they’re on Bandcamp and this EP name-your-price (no minimum), so you have nothing to lose!

RE: @mhoye@cosocial.ca

I think of this every time I see AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md. WHAT YOU ARE WRITING IS DOCUMENTATION. Why are you suddenly interested in writing clear documentation for the robots when this information would have been helpful for every human contributor who came across your project??

Mastodon/fediverse peeps who come across Bluesky accounts that are bridged (i.e. using Bridgy Fed), how do you feel about them and their posts?

Please boost widely, I’m trying to get input from more than just my followers. 🙏

If you’re on Linux, there’s a good chance you use GNOME: it’s the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If you’re on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributors—or maybe you get apps from Flathub.

Want to become more than just a user? How about… a friend? 🥺 Become a Friend of GNOME to support GNOME, Flathub, and the work we do!

We’re able to start talking about this—and I’m stoked: @EndlessAccess@mastodon.social is building an open source game!

…but why??

We’re empowering underserved learners to unlock creativity, confidence, and real skills through hands-on community game making. To do this, we’re building a unique story- and quest-driven game called Threadbare.

I’m excited to show off a bit of how it’s built and works behind the scenes with one of the developers, @manuq@mastodon.uy, on Thursday.
