Rustacean. Student of the CS department of the MSU. This summer I'm hacking on librsvg, an SVG rendering library used primarily by GNOME.

Ah yes, another case where the SVG spec isn't clear enough, there are no tests covering it, and everyone renders it differently.

As much as I like libreoffice as a project, it's clearly showing age.
Heres an #projectidea:
Create and maintain a modular, robust back end for an office suite. I think you can see where I'm going. :P
Frontends can then be made to fit really nicely with each desktop environment.
what if when you die they show you how many lines of code you wrote
what if there's a leaderboard
I really, really appreciate Audacity for all the little projects I've used it for, for like a decade. However, I don't think the UI has improved much or at all in that decade. 🙁 I'd love to see a GTK3 front-end or something. https://twitter.com/FlatpakApps/status/1006990134867386370
Hacked together an inline audio player for m.audio matrix events for Fractal over the weekend.
Gstreamer is amazing.

If guaranteed minimum income and universal healthcare were a thing, I think so many of my programmer colleagues would immediately take low-income sabbaticals to write high-quality good-ui users-first free and open source software that it would inspire tedious "how was it possible?!?" medium dot com thinkpieces for years and years
testing boosts (please boost)
@Mainebot They do this because YouTube gives them the potential of monetization, and they delude themselves into thinking their stupid little tutorial is going to make them rich. Same goes for all the people who would be making open source but instead make shitty little closed-source iOS and Android apps. One of many ways Google and Apple are ruining computing.
