I tried the new GNOME Builder release. It looks really great! In a lot of IDEs, you can Ctrl+Click on a function name and it will take you to its definition in the code base. I couldn't find how to do this in Builder. Is it possible? (probably @chergert would know?)
I wanted to ask on the IRC channel (which is the only way to reach out the Builder community according to the website), but irc.gnome.org does not seem to work anymore?
Thank you to everyone who helped make GNOME 49 a reality—especially every Friend of GNOME whose financial support sustains the GNOME Foundation!
If you'd like to join us on the road to GNOME 50, consider donating to become a Friend of GNOME today. With your help, we can continue to build a diverse and sustainable free software personal computing ecosystem to realize a world where everyone is empowered by technology they can trust.
It's one the historical GNOME games, but thanks to Mat's modernization work over the past few cycles it looks very fresh and clean nowadays. Welcome :)
Match tiles and clear the board –
Single-player tile-matching game, commonly known as Mahjong solitaire.
Tiles are stacked on the board at the start of the game. The goal is to
remove all the tiles in as little time...
There is no calendaring app that I love more than GNOME Calendar. The design is slick, it works extremely well, it is touchpad friendly, and best of all, the community around it is just full of wonderful developers, designers, and contributors worth …
Fingerprint reader functionality under #Linux sucks.
1. Every few reboots/updates/whatever-triggers it, the fingerprint functionality GETS DISABLED all by itself. The bug is there in BOTH Ubuntu and Arch Linux ( #gnome ).
2. GDM won't let me choose between pass & fingerprint reading. This has repercussions for gnome's keyring.
3. Because the keyring is not unlocked, launching things like Chrome requires you to type a password! Again!
Guys at @thunderbird I Love what you have done to the email client, it's now beautiful, fast, lovable, well ... thank you so much! BTW ... I run it in @opensuse #Tumbleweed on the excellent #gnome DE
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the News tab in Nautilus from GNOME 1.4 (released in 2001) still shows current @lwn headlines/lwn.net still support whatever API/feed it's using.
Thunderbird en el escritorio Plasma de KDE usa el diálogo de archivos GNOME a la hora de añadir un adjunto o guardar un archivo. Veamos cómo modificar eso.
#linux but also #android question: are there any good apps/utilities for switching between different #wallpapers? I'm currently using a script I wrote for my laptop but if there was an existing, maintained utility (or even better a #GNOME app!) for this that'd be great :3
hey, #GNOME devs, here's an idea: put a "start a wi-fi hotspot" button in the top-right status pop-up, or maybe as an option at the bottom of the wireless networks list, so that i don't have to open the settings app for that
also having some sort of status display for how many devices are connected to your hotspot would be nice
Over a week on #Gnome and #Debian now. And I must say that I love it. Never thought that I would say this. Has it still its quirks? Yes. But way less than I thought. And Gnome + their UI framework makes the apps look so georgous now. Really impressed by the quality of all those apps. OpenSource does not need to look ugly. Seems like #libadwaita makes it really straightforward to build beautiful apps.
A big thank you to all amazing open-source contributors to that ecosystem.
DuckDuckFedi, what kind of desktop environment do GNOME developers use?
I am curious because some of the design decisions feel as if they had been made by people who... don't use GUIs at all? Or maybe are new to computers in general?
Some data points:
No way to adjust screen brightness out of the box.
No solid color backgrounds, only pictures.
At least the missing close buttons were just a temporary lapse of judgement.
The more I use it, the more I love #gnome. It is such a sleek desktop environment. Wether on the desktop-pc or on the laptop, it is smooth, does not bother me and justs works without any problems.
I am exited to see, what new features are shipped with gnome 49 🙂
How GNOME made its Calendar application accessible
This article will explain in details about the fundamental issues that held back accessibility in GNOME Calendar since the very beginning of its existence, the progress we have made with accessibility as well as our thought process in achieving it, and the now and future of accessibility in GNOME Calendar. ↫ Hari "TheEvilSkeleton" Rana
On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”
To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂

Celebrating a dozen of #Fractal versions with knocking support! Get Fractal 12, the new version of your favourite #Matrix client for #GNOME from #Flathub now!
Knock, knock, knock… on wood rooms, baby 🎵 Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 🎶 That’s right, Fractal 12 adds support for knocking, among other things. Read all about the improvements since 11.
New #GNOME app release! Just a tiny one, based on the idea from a few weeks ago ( mastodon.social/@pojntfx/11491… ). A nice skeumorphic Pomodoro timer, except you get to set the session and pause durations yourself (which happens to be the way I use my physical Pomodoro timer).
Attached: 1 image
Would anyone be interested in a "skeumorphic" Pomodoro timer for GNOME? I have one of those nice physical analog Pomodoro timers and I kind of wish an app version would emulate it (pause button on the top, drag to set your time etc…
