A quick look at the #PantherX Desktop: Here we've got the Menu with global search that can dig into PDF's and other documents, Hub with all online accounts and recent messages and of course System - at the top, right - with clear connection information; supporting all modern standards, including special cases such as OpenVPN with stunnel.

It just hit me: No GPU-powered rendering in Blender, the best (open source) 3D creation suite on the market - for Mac OS users. It's time to go Linux. It's time to go PantherX. I'm excited for it, like a little kid for Christmas. Go team, make it happen!

If you're looking for a new node backend framework, look no further: https://github.com/nestjs/nest - Kudos to Kamil, the brains behind this beast!

Mastodon is getting invaded by spammy, fake accounts. Can't we come-up with a global block-list, which everyone can subscribe to? Not to curb free-speech, but to reduce the amount of porn-girls. I'd say, this would be relatively easy to determine, and agree on.

Distrowatch gives you a pretty good idea, just how fractured open source really is: https://distrowatch.com/

It is proven! I am franzs on Keybase: https://keybase.io/franzs/sigchain#24cc0011fe3ef485fc4cfa865749f2fd1e222a0a1cda47e72075cd93ae355ddb0f

A stark contrast: Apple is bound to release a new MacOS on a yearly basis, no matter if longstanding bugs have been fixed, or the OS is ready overall - in most cases, .1, .2, .3 patches bring much needed stability, while engineers are already pushing for a completely new version.

At Panther, we're not tied to investors expectations and share price, so we can take our time: Release when it's ready.

Bear with us, we'll get there!

... and subscribe to our newsletter; we need all the mental support, we can get: https://www.pantherx.org/#subscribe. I promise, I'll send out the first, soon! That's it ;) - Good night!

Since I'm already here: GNU Guix 1.0.0 is out. A Linux, like no other; Check it out - You Must!: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/gnu-guix-1.0.0-released/

Thanks to a kind fellow, who (apparently) found what we do, kind of interesting, we've now got traffic flooding in from Hackernews: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19834234

Still alive, just busy coding! #PantherX

Anyone any luck with a BCM4360 wireless on #Guix?

@horia would you consider offering set-up (and occasional service) for a caesonia install on openbsd.amsterdam?

If you're in #Brussels, this is probably worth a look: Meet Guix at FOSDEM

"For the second time, we are also organizing the Guix Days as a FOSDEM fringe event, a two-day Guix workshop where contributors and enthusiasts will meet." https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2019/
