Being a mod on /r/gnome reddit can be pretty entertaining. I have this person who was unhappy that a #gtk3 converted to a #libadwaita app. When I told him that software freedom is you have the ability to fork and maintain the gtk3 version yourself this is the response:
'''so software freedom is the freedom of developers to sneak into my house, paint the walls a different colour and move my furniture about however they like without warning?'''
Uh, yeah. K.

Updates on what happens across the GNOME project from week to weekthisweek.gnome.org
Below, I added some hype music to mastodon.social/@alatiera/1147…
With that, I believe we could get a huge GNOME fundraiser drive going, by selling tickets to a philanthropic wrestling match between @alatiera and probonopd. Per tradition, the match could take place in an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco, kitted up as for a rave. KDE devs welcome.
I bet Jordan would smack Xorg down so hard that xeyes pops out, and we would never hear from X11 again as Wayland reigns supreme.
So close to the planch
I went through and cleared out a load of unnecessary subscriptions, and put some of that to become a Friend of GNOME. It’s important to me to support my favourite thoughtful, usable open-source desktop environment (and who knows, perhaps one day my favourite phone environment too)

Continuing our volunteer effort to make GNOME Calendar fully accessible with a keyboard (see thread for context), we fixed a major bug that was causing the focus to disappear into the abyss when the user tried to tab into the month view in merge request !576. This means, as of this commit, events should now be completely functional and accessible within the month view. Additionally, the merge request changes the keyboard and focus behavior within the month view: Events can only be cycled using arrow buttons, the focus can't escape the month view with arrow buttons, and entering/exiting the month view can only be done with tab. These improvements will be available on GNOME 49.

Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)
During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:
• Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions.
Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!
There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even begin with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3
Huge thanks to @nekohayo for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with keeping the accessibility meta issue updated; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and @tyrylu for sharing feedback in regards to usability.
All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷

Si quieres echar una mano a GNOME y no sabes cómo...
DONA!
Cualquier cantidad por pequeña que sea es bienvenida ☺️
am officially a Friend of GNOME as of a couple days ago, something I should have done sooner but never remembered to before
just want to say again how much I love using it. seeing GNOME 3 in action 9-10 years ago is what spurred me to try Linux to begin with, _because_ it looked so unique and very not Windowsy. and as of GNOME 40 and the subsequent Fedora release (4+ years ago), it has remained my daily driver
it's not for everybody, but it's by far my favorite desktop to use
#GNOME necesita tu ayuda!
Si eres usuario de GNOME o simplemente nos quieres apoyar porque te gusta nuestro escritorio, tenemos una nueva web donde puedes donar mensualmente!
Ninguna donación es pequeña. Con esta nueva web queremos conseguir tener donaciones recurrentes a lo largo del año para poder mantener nuestra infraestructura.
it's been a very difficult year or two for @gnome and, to continue to exist, the foundation really needs you.
however, we first want to ask you to *donate less*:
blogs.gnome.org/steven/2025/06…
We have a new donation page. But before you go there, I would like to impress upon you this idea: We would vastly prefer you donate $10/mo for one year ($120 total) than $200 in one lump sum....Steven Deobald (The Everyone Environment)
Considering how GNOME Color Manager's support for calibrating scanners (and printers?) has been broken for many years, and how it seems like the remaining code might get ripped out entirely from GNOME Control Center as a result, I have filed a new #GNOME app idea, in the wild hope that someone might find this interesting enough to create a standalone utility app for creating ICC color profiles for your photo scanners and printers: gitlab.gnome.org/bertob/app-id…
#ColorManagement #Linux #photography
I searched far and wide for standalone calibration tools and they are either nonexistent or extremely hard to use (and typically commandline stuff requiring obscure arcane knowledge). Even...GitLab

I was wondering why GNOME's i10n platform is called "Damned Lies"?
I searched and I only found a link to "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" article on Wikipedia. After understanding the context a bit, I wasn't sure about the link between this and the localisation web app, so I asked in the @gnome I18n room on Matrix, and Alexandre generously explained it. Since there was no online explanation, I wrote a post about it on my blog. Hope it helps.
