Honorary QGIS Project Steering Committee Member. Co-founder Kartoza.com. I like to share, to learn, to walk, animals, Linux, NixOS, all things geospatial.
My new interface to the world at large. Framework 16. Nearly a week in and very pleased so far!

Great news for NixOS and nix users wanting to run bleeding edge, unreleased versions of #QGIS As of today you can now simply run this command to run the latest version of #QGIS in git:

nix run github:qgis/QGIS#qgis

Since I got onto Bluesky I have been battling to filter out all the shitty amerocentric news that is irrelevant to my life and full of negativity and makes me depressed. A couple of weeks ago I changed my Bluesky settings to show me only Portuguese and Afrikaans in my feed as well as folks I follow

📰 #QGIS News: All of the #QGIS web sites just got their menus overhauled!
