Auto complete coming to Workbench 🛠️

Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.

Thanks @andyholmes for the help!

Very happy and proud of this collaboration between @codethink @gnome and @sovtechfund

https://www.codethink.co.uk/articles/2024/GNOME-OS-systemd-sysupdate/

Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.

Got very excited by @matt demo of AccessKit integration in #GTK

AccessKit is a cross-platform abstraction for accessibility infrastructure written in Rust.

His work will bring a11y support for GTK on macOS and Windows as well as for the new accessibility architecture on Linux code-named "Newton".

The secret of successful organizations is care.

And it's the responsibility of those who've been invested with trust to start the efforts.

Carelessness is a virus that spreads in all directions faster than you can say "not my problem".

What do you think of the floating header bar?

💡 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? 🛡️

Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ? :gnome: ❤️ :rust:

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑

We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.

You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

Please send resume / portfolio to stf@gnome.org

Boosts welcome :boost_love:

Junction 1.8 is out ✨

Junction pops up automatically when you open a file or link to let you choose which app to open with.

https://flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Junction

The highlight of this version is better mobile and touch support :linux: 📱

Plus, the app is now verified on Flathub and has a "High quality app data" rating.

Dear Fediverse,

I have a domain, say "example.net" and I want to setup a couple of redirects so that "example.net/awesome" redirects to "foobar.com/something"

I don't want to manage a server or nginx config for this.

I currently use Gandi Web Forwarding but it doesn't support HTTPS.

Any recommendation for something as low maintenance as possible?
