I've come to realize a lot of friction between Linux users and the GNOME project comes from a misunderstanding of what GNOME is about.GNOME designs for everyone. With limited resources and a lot of volunteering.Yes it's challenging and compromises are made but it's the best way to make respectful and free software accessible to more people.If you don't like it, you have other great options. If you like the mission, join us.#GNOME #Linux #FreeSoftware

As part of our work to allow apps to register support for a specific URL domain;Checkout @tbernard mockups for what a new unified “Open With” dialog would look like.I'm very excited about this and might be able to deprecate my app Junction.• https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/os-mockups/-/blob/master/open-with/open-with.png• https://github.com/sonnyp/Junction/#freedesktop #GNOME #Linux #LinuxMobile #mobileLinux #mobile

We can contract BTW :)Some examples of what we're interested in• The state of speech synthesis on the Linux desktop and the various solutions• What would it take to improve espeak voice• How well machine learning solutions could work locally, specially in relationship to battery life and older hardware

About the true purpose of systemdI've been involved with #GNOME, #KDE, #freedesktop and #postmarketOS, ...I've met @pid_eins and other prominent figures behind closed doorsI can confirm from first-hand experience that systemd is indeed a conspiracy to make better operating systems with Linux#systemd #Linux #postmarketOS

💡 portal for anonymous telemetry. Hear me out!Many developers want to have telemetry so that they can learn about how their app is used and how they perform.It can lead to better software, but it's also a privacy nightmare 😮💨Currently, apps need to enable full network for it (or more) and users have 0 control over it. This is happening. Right now. What if there was a way to remove all the negative aspects of telemetry so that we can consider it safe? 🛡️1/2 🧵 #Flatpak #Snap #Flathub

With a telemetry portal for apps, we could• Let the user enable or disable telemetry per app• Be transparent about what is being sent• batch, throttle and schedule transmissions• deduplicate efforts to collect generic infoCombined with a trusted server to process and relay, we can• anonymize• aggregate• make publicWorth thinking about, no?2/2 🧵
