what ifβ€”hear me outβ€”instead of building more ai we would build more nonsmoking third places with live underground electronic music bands
our June 2025 update article is out, featuring our collaboration with @Linaro Limited on the QCS6490, MNT Desktop Reform, a third M.2 slot for RK3588 Pocket Reform, GPN23 and more (thanks to [@holo_memory]( ) for writing it all up)
apple launches glassware ui with lots of chaos energy lol
at the moment MNT is mostly a little factory floor where i also do a bit of kicad and programming sometimes, and tina the dog is barking at us

because of shipping and technical debt cleanup etc i'm a bit behind on announcing that we've replaced the wayfire desktop with GNOME on the mnt reform series laptops, as one of the two primary default environments (the other being Sway), and replaced greetd with GDM. we'll soon publish a longer article about this. the main motivation is my goal to make reform devices as accessible and discoverable as possible by default, and if you're more advanced, you can dismantle and customize anything.
i wonder where/how the default apps that go in the dock (dash) on debian gnome are decided. right now there's evolution and libreoffice writer in there, but no browser, for example, which feels strange. my time for polishing has run out, but something for the next version i guess...
tfw u wake up to @jacqueline getting the pocket
running the "foot" terminal on gnome on imx8mplus (etnaviv) results in a "rectangle of doom", not sure how to describe it better
