"What distro made you stop distro hopping" is probably the question I get the most from "new" #linux users, in terms of what distro to use. Here is the truth, no distro did that completely. I still check out new and old distros, I still checkout new WM and DEs. But there is a distro and DE I never swap away from and that is #fedora with #gnome as may dialy driver. The reason for this is stability and easy of use! I do not claim that Fedora is the best or that Gnome is perfect.

“Better safe than sorry” For release 0.5.0 of #Censor, a lot of work went into improving the security of PDF redaction. PDF documents are tricky, and irrevocably removing elements from them is even more. With this release, before saving a redacted document, garbage is now properly collected and documents are sanitized, which means that metadata, page thumbnails, etc. are removed. Also, vector graphics are now removed with a more strict option when they overlap with redaction rectangles. On top of that, I added redaction of PDF annotations. The user interface was refreshed: with undo and redo buttons in the toolbar and improved document saving experience. Drawing rectangles is now indicated by a crosshair cursor. Thanks to the translators, you may now talk also Czech with Censor!

“Zoom in, zoom out, redact your points!” #Censor v0.7.0 ships improved zooming with pinch-to-zoom gesture on touchpads and touchscreens and various security bug fixes. Find it at @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor You may now redact safely also #PDF documents with cropped, scaled, or rotated pages. The upstream #PyMuPDF library has some issues treating these documents. Thus, I implemented manual transformation and drawing of the redaction rectangles, and verified the proper redaction with a specially created sample document, submitted to the collection by #pypdf: https://github.com/py-pdf/sample-files/pull/36 Additionally, point- or line-like elements are now properly redacted. Sanitization during post-processing keeps now entries in form fields (note: this changes previous behavior). Thanks to the translators, Censor is now available in 13 languages including Croatian and Russian. #censorship #redaction #Codeberg #Flatpak #Flathub #GNOME #linux #python #MuPDF

“Annotation censoring everywhere” #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the #GNOME desktop, got a minor update to v0.7.1. Find it at @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor Censor’s #Flatpak package comes with the latest version of the upstream library #PyMuPDF (1.27.2.3). This solves an issue with annotations that could not be redacted in some files. Thanks to Julian Smith from #Artifex for fixing it upstream. In case you do not use the Flatpak package, you may need to wait for your distribution maintainers to update PyMuPDF’s version. Hindi has been added to the languages you may now speak with Censor. Thanks to the translators! #censorship #Codeberg #Flathub #GNOME #linux #python #MuPDF

#Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the #GNOME desktop, was released in version v0.7.3. Find it at @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor or get it from your distribution package maintainers: https://repology.org/project/censor-document-redaction/versions (currently AUR, ALT Linux, and NixOS).

A bug was fixed that sometimes prevented files to be saved with the “Save” menu entry or associated keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S. Censor’s #Flatpak package comes with the latest version of the upstream library #PyMuPDF (1.28.0).

Three new languages have been added to Censor since the last announcement here: Basque, Swedish, and Ukrainian. Thanks to the translators! You may contribute to translations at https://translate.codeberg.org/engage/censor

“Banish the ghosts” #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the @gnome@floss.social desktop, was released in version 0.8.0: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor/releases/tag/v0.8.0 This version comes with major improvements to secure redaction of invisible elements: first, point- or line-like elements on page borders, and second, elements located outside of pages, quasi in infinity. These “ghosts” are now redacted or you’ll get warned during post-redaction-validation if redaction wasn’t possible. I discovered these issues in a few PDF documents after adding another big testing sample dataset, kindly provided by the #OpenPreservationFoundation: https://github.com/openpreserve/format-corpus Find Censor on @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor or get it from your distribution package maintainers: https://repology.org/project/censor-document-redaction/versions Thanks to its translators, Censor is currently available in 17 languages.

“Preparing for the blackout” #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool, which allows you to draw black rectangles and permanently remove text and images below them, was released in version 0.9.0 (with a follow-up v0.9.1): https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor/releases/tag/v0.9.0 This version concentrates on draft and UI features. You can now save drafted redactions to the PDF document as PDF redaction annotations. Alternatively, you may export them to a JSON file, which may serve as a template for future redaction sessions. Censor’s welcome screen with new drop-file support and the keyboard shortcuts dialog were revised. On top of that, you may now censor in fullscreen mode.

RE: https://floss.social/@gnome/116985931040333333 This week, I presented #Censor and its latest release for the first time in This Week in #GNOME, or shortly #TWIG. You may find lot of nice first-hand reports there, and a few more screencasts of Censor in use, too (showing draft saving and redaction of non-PDF documents)! https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2026/07/twig-259/#third-party-projects

How can a desktop environment like GNOME be so popular when, honestly, nobody would use it without extensions? Every day there are new extensions for window management, making the desktop look nicer... The problem is that extensions sometimes mess with each other (for keyboard shortcuts for example) and break after every GNOME update. Thank goodness Niri and DMS exist if you want a lightweight and actually functional desktop. Really hope that Fedora 45 will come with an official Niri and DMS spin. #linux #gnome #niri #danklinux #dms #fedora

Amberol is a sleek music player that plays music and nothing beyond that, it doesn't overwhelm with tons of unneeded preferences. It's also what popularised using album art for the background in music players! https://apps.gnome.org/Amberol/ Thank you @ebassi@mastodon.social for making this! #GNOME #GNOMECircle #music

Here’s the latest state of a WIP prototype branch. We’re still going to do a design pass to improve things; maybe removing the card styling of results (since each section isn’t activatable, but results within are). There’s more to do, and again: this light style is an off-by-default accessibility setting that I’ve been testing with to ensure it will work, but we don’t plan to ship a light shell by default in 51 afaik. But you can at least see some progress. :) #GNOME #GNOMEdesign #GNOMEshell
