maybe the #gnome project needs a better distinction between what's an official gnome app and what's not
just saw someone get disgusted at the whole gnome project just because someone else made a GNOME-style app for talking to large language models, and a tech news website called it a "GNOME app"
"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.
"To what end?" the reporter asked.
"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."
"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"
"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

Do you have the same challenges as I do?
Over the last year I have stopped approximately 1070€ of annual subscription costs to US products in our family.
In our company, we're in process of stopping somewhere between 20k€ to 25k€ annuals subscription fees to US products.
I know I'm not the only one, and our company isn't alone doing these changes.
We have a lot of people in Europe. If we all shift a portion of our reccurring monthly costs to European products, it will make a huge difference.

Thanks @alcea – though we should hand the praise to the dev of the app, or at least share it with them. We just make it easier accessible – but all the work of developing the app in the first place, wasn't ours 😉
To Google: SafeBrowsing could be such a useful tool – but you're undermining the trust in it yourselves by such actions. Especially when even your own scanners disagree. Get a human in the loop, your system is hallucinating 😉

Hey blind people, what is the recommended accessible format for distributing text-only content? So that a short text of a couple hundred words is browsable, searchable and the structure is understandable?
Am I correct is assuming that a well-structured PDF with all the titles set correctly would do the trick? Or is there some secret file format that is much better suited?
The document is intended to be distributed as downloadable file, not as a website.

As Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called
"Board of Peace" at the
World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland, on Thursday,
his son-in-law Jared Kushner
presented his vision of
turning the Gaza Strip into
an upscale seaside resort
with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities.
The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion,
and Kushner’s presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones.
This all comes as Palestinians in Gaza struggle to survive with little food or shelter amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid.
“It’s hard to take these people seriously.
I mean, they’re buffoonish.
But the problem is, is that they control the largest military and economy in the world,”
says Sharif Abdel Kouddous,
the Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News.
He calls the Board of Peace
“a parody of a colonial body”
and says the plan for Gaza will result in
“ultimate control and subjugation” of the Palestinian population

Ironically, core GNOME apps have generic names. Plus, you can’t use GNOME branding unless you’re part of the GNOME project. If you target the GNOME environment, though, you are a “GNOME app”, in the same way you have iOS apps, Android apps, Windows apps, etc
