Cool to see this new effort by @niccolove! There's way too much misinformation out there as a result of the general disconnect between developers and free software "media". Kudos for seizing the means of communication o/https://thelibre.news

If the future is that we need to wait 5s every time a GNOME Gitlab page loads, maybe we should at least show something interesting - how about random tips or excerpts from the HIG?"Never use the label 'OK' on a button""Margins should be multiples of 6px, e.g. 12, 18, 24""Button labels should use Title Case""Don't ask for confirmation when you could have undo instead"and so on :)

The summary blogpost about the 2023/2024 GNOME STF Project @AdrianVovk and I have been working on for quite a while is finally out 🤓📖It's looooong, but that's a good thing, there's *so* much good stuff that was done as part of this over the past year.Shoutout to @sonny, thanks to whom all of this was possible!https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2025/04/11/gnome-stf-2024

Here's the blog post I've been trying not to write for the past year.We need to start discussing the events surrounding @sonny's ban last year with the entire community, and unfortunately the only way to do that is in public. Here's hoping this is the first step towards that wider discussion, and an eventual resolution.https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2025/04/23/the-elephant-in-the-room

Curious that nobody is using instant apps on Android - We were been talking about how useful something like this (or app clips, the Apple version of this) would be for Flatpak, for cases where you just quickly want to do a transient task you'd otherwise have opened the browser for.Given that our apps are closer the size of app clips (usually 5-10MB vs. 200+), we could probably just transiently install the app and maybe show it differently in the UI.https://www.theverge.com/news/686573/google-android-instant-apps-shutdown

@bugaevc Has anyone looked into what the main factors in the size of modern GTK apps are? I think with mobile apps it's often image/video assets, but we don't really do that.

New blog post about our local-first GNOME app initiative! Project Aardvark is growing up into a real app, called Reflection 🪩✨Over the coming months we have a @PrototypeFund grant to expand the app into a proper local-first Hedgedoc replacement, with multi-cursor, sharing URLs, undo, permissions, and more.Hopefully the first of many GTK+p2panda apps to come, especially once we add GObject bindings making this stack accessible to non-Rust apps :)https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2025/06/30/aardvark-summer-2025-update

Part 3 of the GNOME Shell gestures work by @verdre has landed in Mutter/GNOME Shell main. This is one of the main dependencies for upstreaming the rest of GNOME Shell mobile 🙌Huge thanks to everyone involved in review, especially @fmuellner, Carlos Garnacho, @jadahl, Bilal Elmoussaoui, @rmader, and @swick!https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2857https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2853

Last weekend we had #BoilingTheOcean 7 in Berlin, the latest in our event series on long-term problems in emancipatory computing. This was the biggest edition yet with ~30 attendees! The energy and excitement were awesome, even more so than in previous editions.Huge thanks to @101lab for hosting us, @ondrejkolin for handling shirts and drinks logistics, @jimmac for playing a show for us on Saturday, and everyone who joined for helping make the event a success ❤️#gnome #flatpak #localfirst

Among other things we had extensive discussions about the future of Flatpak, Portals, GNOME OS and the various systemd components it uses, the Reflection text editor app, and hardware enablement for the Fairphone 5.We also touched on a surprising number of interesting but more unusual topics, such as software preservation, permacomputing, payment infrastructure, reproducible builds, and more.We also have much nicer photos than usual thanks to @verdre, so here are a few more:

I always find it odd when people talking about high level policy stuff like EuroStack completely ignore end-user devices - Like, if you have fully sovereign EU AI cloud apps, where are you going to access them from? Your iPhone?https://ecfr.eu/publication/get-over-your-x-a-european-plan-to-escape-american-technology
