Deleting an old Dropbox account and ran across some screenshots from 2013 of the MIUI 4 custom ROM. Gosh do I miss those days! Late skeumorphism was a nice era.

I love how every Autumn instead of embracing colour I instead remove almost every bit of colour from my life for some reason (feat. my new Thunderbolt 5 dock because why not!)

Like for a few months there it really looked like it was all going to work out

Gosh I am so in love with this latest revision of Liquid Glass The initial release looked IMHO super messy but this? I love it. So tactile! Look at those squishy search bar and traffic light buttons! And things have proper :hover/:active effects now too …

I love how Bilibili allows you to select your codec of choice Should this be exposed to end users? Probably not, but kind of fun that it is

These ones are a bit more muted, but the security features look really nice on these ones?

I quite like this one too? The colours in the horizontal ones look nicer though IMHO

The new Euro bank notes really are a combination of mostly EU institutions on the back and nature on the front, I kind of love it?

Took me like two days, but my SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX/Milk-V Jupiter 2 RV23 #RISCV chip can now run #Buildroot _with the OSS PowerVR driver from upstream #Mesa_ 👀

Here it is running #GNOME OS and rebuilding itself via BuildStream :) Will probably take a full day at least to actually finish but I'm curious if it can! Such a nice form factor, I wish the Neo was this small.

Love the neat mockups and blur and surprising amount of customizability. It’s interesting how … traditional? macOS’ HIG is compared to e.g. GNOME. It’s quite a bit more complex, lots of states I never need to worry about on GNOME (e.g. resizable sidebars or enabling icon + text vs just text)

Ported DarwinKit (Go AppKit etc. bindings) to macOS 26 tonight and switched the generator from scraping the web docs to just getting it from the SDK locally. Also hacked together a little clone of Reflection (just a dummy, no p2panda here) based on Go.

Some more #Sessions macOS port things. Damn icons on macOS have lots of configuration permutations …

Managed to hack #Multiplex to use #p2panda (using the GObject bindings for Go) for it's P2P playback position sync. Was ... pretty painless? Lots of things left to do and UX feedback (discovery, showing other nodes etc.) to get from folks, but it just kind of ...

Two Multiplex windows - the one on the left and the one on the right both sync the video playback. Both have a toast saying "somebody joined the session".

Felicitas Pojtinger @felicitas.pojtinger.com · 23/04/2026

And just for reference, this is how the app looks like on #GNOME (I prefer this to the native macOS app honestly once it's in it's native habitat)

Also, for good measure I made a port for macOS pre-Tahoe (so no Liquid Glass). Looks quite a bit more similar to the GNOME version!

The GTK version on the left, the native version on the right. It’s no longer translucent

The menu again for the pre-Tahoe version

Anyways, here is a port of #Sessions (on the left - GTK/libadwaita) to AppKit/macOS 26 with DarwinKit (Golang, too!). Pretty damn close, but there are def. differences around margins, the size of buttons etc. between macOS and GNOME for sure.

Sessions (GTK) on the left with large paddings. The native port on the right has less padding.

The menu for sessions which shows the shortcuts too

Check this out, KDE Connect/Valent can now remote control Android notifications showing Multiplex controls via MPRIS. Even seeking works. If you seek it even updates the position for your friend watching the movie with you on their computer somewhere else in the world!
