       "Get your pencil ready!"I could have done so many useful things on a Sunday. But instead I've finished these 100 audio cassette designs using the GNOME color palette.#pixelart #aseprite #pointless #iguessitsart #gnome

       Building a GNOME app? If you follow the HIG and especially if you apply for inclusion in the GNOME Circle, we would love to help you with an icon.Check out some metaphor explorations from the past two years: https://blog.jimmac.eu/posts/friday-sketches/Apply here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/app-icon-requests/#gnome #sketch #app #design #request

       @Gargron @scottjenson Heh, precisely. The sooner the hidden costs catch up with them, the better.

       @davidrevoy And that is exactly the big lie. The magic of brute force token jumping your way to a patch only works if you have gigawatts of Nvidia filled data center powered by methane jet engines. And nobody knows the actual cost of any of this. You try it locally and it's just making your m4 laptop, that normally churns Blender Cycles renders in seconds, crazy hot to touch and takes hours instead of seconds. It seems way less efficient than ... blockchain.

       Little retrospective on helping out app developers with icons directly rather than building icon themes.https://blog.jimmac.eu/posts/app-icon-requests/#gnome #icon #design

       I didn't resubscribe to PSN, because I play less and less. Thus some pixel art controllers in PICO8 and GNOME HIG colors.#pixelart #pixaki #pixquare #gaming #controller #steam

       Buffer is a small little app that has proven itself. I end up needing to mangle a piece of text before pasting it somewhere else. You'd think a text editor or one of the 20 open terminals would be good enough, but trust me. Give Buffer a chance. It works.https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.gitlab.cheywood.Buffer#gnome #app
