Status update December 2024

Hey you, it's been a while. How are you? Fine, thanks! Here are some quick updates, and personal news.

Last year I was unemployed, but now I have much less time doing free software. For the most part, I've been continuing being around projects I love. Maintaining Sxmo, being a PostmarketOs laboratory rat with my Pinephone Pro, and playing with Hare.

As a side note, I finally found the bug I had with Bonsai. In very rare cases, it stopped responding to events, and so left Sxmo hardware buttons unresponsive. The issues have been fixed on hare-ev, and hopefully the event loop is now bullet-proof.

Also with recent Sway and Wlroots releases, and the change related to the new scene-graph api, it broke some software as Wvkbd and Bemenu. The events are dispatched in a different order, and so the software was behaving incorrectly.

On a personal side, I will undergo a big surgery in a week. Knowing myself, I could either code a lot in the following months, or losing myself completely in video-games. Hopefully beating my Celeste PB in the process.

Maybe I'll stop doing those status updates if they keep being that irregular. It is an easy format to share, but I should write them way more often for them to be relevant.

Oh, and by the way… Happy new year!
