People love to complain about #opensource #foss software as if there is an obligation to satisfy their every need, every whim, every idea.

Instead of complaining:

🧑‍💻 contribute code
💸 donate
📝 write documentation
💪 contribute what you can

Imagine if everyone using open source software contributed something, instead of abusing it or complaining into the social media void...

I've just updated my #swift bindings for #gtk and #libadwaita [GitHub: github.com/AparokshaUI/adwaita]!

🎉️ Many widgets are now auto-generated using GObject Introspection! Learn more under david-swift.gitbook.io/adwaita

"Adwaita for Swift" is a framework for creating user interfaces for #gnome with an API very similar to #swiftui.

I like these 3D recreations of Rome, so thought I would keep sharing them. Here's one for Trajan's Forum.

Venture deep into the #Amazon rainforest, and you’re bound to hear tales about the mythological Yacumama—the #mythical giant serpent that has stirred the imaginations of #indigenous peoples for generations.

Originating from the indigenous Quechua language, Yacumama, meaning "Mother of the Waters," reigns supreme as a creature believed to dwell within the depths of Amazonian rivers and lakes. Its legend transcends borders, echoing through the lands of Peru, Brazil, #Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia, embodying a profound reverence for the natural world.

Yacumama stands as a symbol of awe-inspiring proportions, with tales recounting its ability to swallow boats, islands, and even people whole. From the Shipibo people of #Peru to the Tupi-Guarani tribes of Brazil, diverse cultures have woven their own narratives around this colossal guardian of the waters. Yet, amidst the mystique, controversy brews, drawing parallels to the Loch Ness monster and sparking the curiosity of cryptozoologists.
