  The fact that you still need to run chmod +x on AppImage really makes me wonder why people still defend this garbage

  A month ago, a friend suggested to get a double sized bed in case I end up sharing the bed with someone. I told them that this is a problem for myself in the future because I won't be sharing a bed with someone anytime soon. I should have listened to their advice

  Actually fucked up thing to say from a Fedora EPEL maintainer: > Please, get off Reddit and book a therapy appointment. You need it. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1v3dehg/comment/oz79oq1/ @fedora@fosstodon.org are you okay with this kind of behavior? Edit: sorry, I got upset and pinged the account out of spite. I'll just report that behavior to the committee

  New article, although this one is a controversial one based on the situation of GNOME Calendar and Linux Mint. I present to you: How far would hostile distributions go to hurt application developers? https://tesk.page/2026/07/18/how-far-would-hostile-distributions-go-to-hurt-upstream/ #FOSS #OpenSource #OSS #FreeSoftware #Linux

  Screen reader users using a free and open-source calendar app on Linux, what do you use? I'd like to use one as a reference to make GNOME Calendar more screen reader friendly. (Boost appreciated) #a11y #accessibility #accessible #GNOME #GNOMECalendar #Linux

  I read a little bit of My Accessibility Stack and the future on Wayland, but I personally couldn't continue. I got pissed specifically here: > And this response from a GTK maintainer in a thread discussing Talon (which is not mentioned by name) who refuses to engage with the discussion, refers to us as “accessibility maximalists”, and refers to resources that are not topical to the point at hand (again, this is about input, not output). The reason I'm really pissed about is because...

  In GNOME Calendar, someone started submitting large merge requests that were clearly generated by artificial intelligence: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/785 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/786 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/787 We introduced the label "Probabilistically Automated" to tag slop. It reads the following: "Major or total reliance on artificial “intelligence” to gene...

  As of GNOME 49, GNOME Settings will feature a button for configuring the Orca screen reader! https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3215 #GNOME #Accessibility #a11y #Orca #ScreenReader #ScreenReaders #Linux #FOSS #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

  Fun fact: 0.0001% of 4 trillion is 4 million. Apple is worth $4 trillion USD. Let that sync in

• Post #1959874

  One thing I never expected about software development is how different contributing to an external free and open-source (FOSS) project is from maintaining a FOSS project. I thought they were similar, but they're not. I get exhausted very quickly from constantly reading and reviewing code, as there are still many things I don't know about programming. Having to learn while I'm reviewing hits like a truck at 69420 KM/h. It also doesn't help that I feel pressured not to keep contri...

  6 months ago, @paulbiggar posted on Zed's GitHub Discussions forums about the company, Zed Industries, taking money from Sequoia Capital, which is partnered with Shaun Maguire, who has been actively supporting genocide in Palestine. During these six months, Zed Industries has been ominously quiet about the post; however, until a few days ago, one of the maintainers of Zed made an official comment, which I quote: "Thanks for reaching out. We want to better support our community, and the...

  If you are not yet convinced that Fedora Flatpaks is a hostile 'alternative' to Flathub, here's a good one for you: An indeterminate amount of their packages are, in fact, directly based on existing manifests from Flathub. Not by manually inspecting code themselves; rather, by running a script which goes through Flathub's APIs and parses the respective apps' manifest to generate manifests for Fedora Flatpaks: https://pagure.io/flatpak-module-tools/blob/859e5bbb655a79e3b2b9ad...

  @rapsneezy people from Iran are prevented because the US has sanctioned Iran as a whole and the GNOME Foundation is a US-based organization. If the GNOME Foundation were to do transactions with people living in Iran, they'd put themselves at risk. All this to say, fuck the US While financial affairs are messy, one thing's for sure is that the community does not tolerate Zionism (To give some context on the following screenshots, someone made a complaint about someone publicly stating t...

  The anti-systemd crowd were right, systemd's bloat and feature creep caused the existence of Caine, an abusive AI tyrant. https://youtu.be/DMNlzf8PiEM?t=29m48s Boycott #systemd and poetteringware.

  Out of curiosity, are there any free and open-source chatbots whose model(s) is/are completely free and open as well, and aren't developed by some giant corporation?

  Why I navigate with my keyboard in GNOME Calendar: ❌ It allows me to get work done without taking my hands off the keyboard ✅ It's satisfying as fuck

• Post #821611

  Hey, I've been under distress lately due to personal circumstances that are outside my control. I can't find a permanent job that allows me to function, I'm not eligible for government benefits, my grant proposals got rejected, paid internships are quite difficult to find. Essentially, I have no stable monthly income that allows me to sustain myself. Nowadays, I work mostly on accessibility throughout GNOME as a volunteer, improving the experience of people with disabilities. I help...

  It's always a wonderful feeling when you get to remove 1,000 lines of code and fix a bug in the process: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/702 #GNOMECalendar #GNOME #Calendar

  At last, starting from Firefox 137, Firefox will finally publish ARM64 (AArch64) builds as a Flatpak on Flathub! https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/rev/d32c19f08688 #Flatpak @FlatpakApps #Flathub @flathub #Mozilla #Firefox #Linux #AArch64 #ARM64

  LLMs and AI are notoriously problematic in free and open-source software, so we've added an explicit anti-LLM clause to GNOME Calendar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/725

  First, we used them in war. Then, we abandoned them. Now, we're actively trying to get rid of them :(
