Jane Ruffino ☛ Nobody wants to use any software
I believe that this mindset is the healthiest way to design and build things that people will use and not hate us for building. For me, it's a way to remind myself that all humans have a whole rich, challenging life outside of the little screens I'm making for them. So that even when I'm focused on user needs and user problems, I can keep it just out of the corner of my eye: the person I'm making this for doesn't actually want to be here, and that’s OK.
We want speedy [Internet] and fast-loading services because we want to stop pushing buttons and opening accordions as quickly as possible. Pavel Samsonov talked about this, pointing out how far the user story has strayed from its goal, and the reality that the ideal is that people reach their goal without using software at all.

Simon Ser ☛ Simon Ser: Status update, September 2024
Hi!
Once again, this status update will be rather short due to limited time bandwidth. I hope to be able to allocate a bit more time slots for my open-source projects next month.
We’re getting closer to a new Sway release (fingers crossed), with lots of help from Kenny and Alexander to iron out the remaining bugs. We’ve just shipped wlroots 0.18.1 today (thanks to Simon Zeni for leading the backporting efforts!). I’ve been expanding wlroots’ explicit synchronization support by adapting our multi-GPU logic, the Vulkan renderer and the libliftoff backend. I’ve released wayland 1.23.1 with some Clang and wayland-scanner fixes. I’ve ported the cage kiosk compositor to wlroots 0.18. Last but not least, I’ve rewritten
makoctlin C because shell scripts only get you so far. -

Jeff Triplett ☛ 🤠 UV Roundup: Five good articles and a pre-commit tip - Jeff Triplett's Micro.blog
I like UV because it replaces, combines, or complements a bunch of Python tools into one tool and user developer experience without forcing a UV way of doing it. UV effectively solves the question, “Why do I need another Python tool?” to do everyday Python tasks.
