Expect a big photo dump over on Pixelfed in a few days because wow I am in awe of this place's infrastructure
(Also, sending this from a HarmonyOS device!)
Gosh the consistency and level of standardization in the Shenzen metro is absolutely incredible

I wonder how something like this could work elsewhere in the world ... PWAs don't really "feel" the same way bc payment methods and account info aren't first-class features in browsers maybe?
Shenzen mall massage chairs come with a WeChat mini app you can use to pay and control the specific chair you chose and it auto-selects the one you're in ... UX-wise it works extremely well!
Damn Luckin Coffee is pretty delicious hehe
On a bus to 🇨🇳! Feels pretty surreal, ngl
That MacBook Neo looks adorbs omg. I hope they don't lock it down to only run macOS ...
The HK/Macao bridge/tunnel from my plane
Hello fedi from 🇭🇰 👋
Spent like 2h organizing my backpack, haven't head that much fun in a while hehe
Gosh I'm so excited for this trip
Taking a 3h Mandarin class while being severly sleep deprived is def an experience haha
Maybe I just don't sign into that many things?
It's 2026 and I've never used a passkey nor have I ever been prompted to set one up
and it's failing on my system bc I don't have SecureBoot enabled) Maybe what Amutable is working on could also fit into this.
GNOME Settings security tab, with checks failing
Also, we can check for different safety signals on Linux systems, like whether measured boot passed and SecureBoot is enabled (GNOME has that under the "Security" tab in settings,
to work in order for a digital payments solution (in Germany, the contactless "Mobiles Bezahlen" app vendored by Volksbank for example works completely w/o Google Wallet and works everywhere contactless works, but requires SafetyNet).
But also, with fintech stuff getting easier and easier, I wonder if creating at least an open _banking_ app should be possible. Yes, various countries require push-based 2FA, but nothing locks you into Google/Apple here on Linux. I wonder how the payments situation would be ...
New idea: Neobank specifically for digital sovereignty, from the app running on Linux/without SafetyNet and other nonsense to the servers running on local infrastructure
Honestly I should probably do a little talk at my local LUG about this soon!
This is def. going into my new development docs hehe
and install it with `sysext-add` to having the app running on your local system. Switching back to a clean upstream configuration is as easy as running `rm` on the system extension and running `systemd-sysext refresh`. What a great development flow!
On the left, the .po file for French. One key has changes, "Online Accounts", as described in the post. On the right, GNOME settings reflects that change.
Damn this is so cool! It now takes ~10s end to end to make a change in the BuildStream workspace for a #GNOME component with #systemd sysext (I just added `!!!` to a translation), rebuild it with `bst` and `sysext-build-element`,
Update! Disabling the remote cache lookup makes it blazing fast. Neat!
Don't even need to be a non-US company anymore to get that badge of honour

This is just wild
6) tasks.org (Android) & Planify (Linux) + one Markdown file for work, one for personal things, synced via Nextcloud file sync
7) tasks.org (Android) & Planify (Linux) for everything
That makes my total TODO list transition timeline:
1) Google Keep
2) Google Tasks
3) tasks.org + Google Keep
4) Google keep (again)
5) Google Tasks + one Markdown file for work, one for personal things, synced via Nextcloud file sync
