Every day I get a comment asking me why I pronounce "GNOME" with a hard G.
It's because when I first learned about it, over one century ago, it was an acronym for "GNU Network Object Model Environment". And the GNU project pronounces GNU with a hard G.
Pronouncing GNOME with a hard G was useful as a way to distinguish the project from the mythical creature, and I was not alone in pronouncing it that way.
Over time the acronym fell away but my pronunciation stuck.
is it just me, or is the entire #gnome ecosystem virtually integrated into accomodating bigtech and bigtech only?
i recently tried to reach out to developers and met a wall of amazon, fastly, microsoft and cloudflare. i don't think its possible to meaningfully contribute the gnome ecosystem without being poached/disrupted by the corporates.... pretty sucky :(

#GNOME Papers finally becomes a PDF viewer that can digitally sign documents and verify signatures.
The latter was implemented by Marek Kašík from our team. It was several years in the making. He originally implemented it for Evince, but Evince is pretty much dead and it's been waiting to be merged upstream for 1.5 years. When Papers were forked from Evince, Marek rewrote it in #Rust and implemented it there. It's currently under review and should be merged soon. ✌️
I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

The gnome-control-center panel I’ve been working on for the last many weeks is now ready for review, including a new chart widget for showing time spent using the computer screen (so you have some visibility into your compute use habits).
Glad to finally have this off my plate and on its way to being reviewed and hopefully merged.
One more GNOME development and socializing meetup in Hamburg with @camelCaseNick and @FineFindus ! Today was a really productive day. @FineFindus created a libadwaita MR for some API we also want in Papers, and merged a locatization MR in udisks-rs. And @camelCaseNick and Ihelped debugging the libadwaita code and got 5 MRs in Papers in! As always, send us a message if you come around!

GNOME's streaming radio app is... really good
Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, and it works fine over there (for me anyway). Maybe you'll like it!Links relevant in the video:

Thanks to the GNOME Infrastructure team's ongoing improvements, the GJS API Docs (gjs-docs.gnome.org) are being migrated to new infrastructure.
There may be some slight downtime, but it will be back up very shortly! Sorry for any inconvenience!
Queremos expresar nuestro más profundo agradecimiento a cada uno de ustedes que, desde diferentes rincones de América Latina y del mundo, hicieron posible este gran evento.
Gracias a todos los asistentes, tanto presenciales como virtuales, y al increíble equipo de #GNOME Latam.
My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.
Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.
How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.
Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.
I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

Upscaler 1.4.0 was just released! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale and enhance images, be it your photos, digital art, and more.
This release introduces scaling factors, allowing you to upscale between a factor of 2 and 4. The image loading system has been reworked to decrease overall memory consumption. The preview image now has a drop shadow to better make the image distinguishable. Lastly, it fixes a bug where small window sizes made the preview image disappear.

tbh the tab overview is still one of my favorite things about GNOME Web
(and other GNOME apps that have it but I use it most often in Web)

Just applied to the STF fellowship in a project with #GNOME, #postmarketos and #alpinelinux. This was only possible after my dad and @craftyguy got me out of a terrible emotional deadlock earlier this week. Asking and accepting help is truly worth it.

Findings are encouraging so far. The only significant issue is that, if I'm running a Wayland session, I encounter the keyboard handling problem that currently affects the use of Orca with all GTK4 applications. However, at least for reading ActivityPub threads, Tuba is very screen reader-accessible.

Are you overwhelmed with background windows demanding attention, or just the amount of color on your computer screen? Do you wish it was a bit easier to tell which window has (keyboard) focus?
Oh, and are you using GNOME?
Because I released my first extension for GNOME Shell, and it desaturates background windows. Get it on extensions.gnome.org. If you want.
Hope you enjoy!
