#Holos 1.6.0 is available!

This release introduces desktop support with Electron on macOS and Linux. Syncs now use a sequenced bloom filter with WebSocket filtering that will avoid timeouts when starting the app.
The media viewer should be smoother, with instant thumbnails and a transition from the thumbnail position.

Full release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.6.0

There might be quite a story going on here ...

This photo shows a muddy dog being carried on a person's shoulder. The happy and very muddy dog appears to be holding a fish in its mouth, seemingly after a day spent playing in the mud... or?

The days when my brain just randomly decides to work make every other day that much more frustraiting.

I did not change my meds, sleep, hydration, nutrition, or physical activity levels, and yet somehow I was allowed to focus on work instead of scrolling the infinite horrors machine and completed 3 sprints worth of work in about 2 days.

Why can’t I find a midpoint somewhere in between completely useless and god-mode?

I want to make freeware apps that are like how software used to be before enshittification. I'm trying to come up with a name. Good Old Ware? I don't want it to be just for nostalgic nerds though. I need a name with mainstream appeal.

Everything about Drawing Tablet, Color Management and Calibration/Profiling on KDE Plasma 6 Wayland, and all to survive the packaging mess with eg. built-in tutorial to revert version of Flatpak, scripts to beta-test Krita, and more!

The most complete article I ever published!

A photo of my workstation, three display: one of them is a drawing tablet with a display. On the screen: while coloring in Krita the character Litchee the Pink Fairy of my weekly comic series Mini Fantasy Theater. My cat, a red tabby, look at the camera while comfortably sited on his pillow, disposed strategically on the side of my desk for him to not sleep on my keyboard.

@adele J’ai déjà dû le dire l’autre fois, mais je vais le redire : ton SmolFedi est super pour parcourir mon instance Mastodon depuis mon PC portable désormais bien vénérable (un Core 2 Duo que j’ai depuis juillet 2009), là où passer par l’instance elle-même fait souffler les ventilateurs à fond, même longtemps (au moins pendant encore deux minutes) après que j’ai fermé l’onglet.

Vraiment, merci pour ça ! Puisse-t-il durer longtemps ! o/
