Please indulge me for a moment while I extend some enthusiastic appreciation to @ryangorley and @freehive.
I worked with FreeHive for several months on the new @thunderbird home page (check it out at thunderbird.net), and the final result far exceeded my expectations.
This is why I'm going to work with them to redesign the entire site over the next several months.
Ryan, you and your team make #opensource look GREAT!

I don't know if anyone actually does #webdevelopment testing with #GNOME #Web (Epiphany) on #Linux, but if you've found the web inspector to be infuriatingly clunky everytime you open it, these fresh tickets are for you:

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.
I went on to write:
>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.
While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.
#Privacy #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS #GNOME #Flatpak
I’ve spent a long, long time thinking about ethical software, the challenges we *necessarily* give ourselves compared to closed competitors, and crucially, how to overcome those challenges.
Four and a half years ago, I wrote:
>respecting your privacy is the ethical thing to do; users have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from companies and products they trust.
That’s as true as ever.

Read my colleague @wjt’s post covering the privacy-first system we have built into @EndlessOS, how it fits together, and why it exists.

I hope this can serve as the beginning of the ecosystem coming together to solve this unique challenge in a way that is objectively superior than any proprietary system—all with privacy as the fundamental principle.

With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste!
Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.
Software can determine how long a device remains in use.
Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.
Software freedom means hardware freedom.
