@rmader You do some of the most neatest work in GNOME. I understand setting your Gitlab profile private but I do miss the days of easily finding all your neat contributions.
Maybe one day I will contribute, sadly boring enterprise development gets me way to exhausted to do anything related to programming after work.
@thelinuxEXP I am rewatching the 5 year old comparison. Wow, I forgot how much GNOME feels like a completely experience. I can't think of any Desktop Environment (proprietary included) that has grown as much in the past 5 years.
For a future video ideas, doing comparisons between the current desktop environments and its 5 year ago self would be of interest to at least a few of your viewers.

fail2ban has one core maintainer https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban and he has only 3 Github sponsors https://github.com/sebres
WTF
I can't even comprehend how many servers are protected by fail2ban, how many compromises are avoided, how many people who run hobby things all the way up to major sites that get to sleep soundly every night... because of this single project.
@gardiner_bryant I would be happy if Affinity products were on Linux. Even though it isn't Adobe, it would be enough for a lot of folks to switch to Linux.

Microsoft banned Palestinians from its products because they called their families in Gaza on Skype.
I’ve met Palestinians who’ve lost their relatives in Israeli bombardments. People involved in Gaza humanitarian aid.
American corporations can cut them off from essential internet/communication services on a lark.

@omgubuntu Thanks for sharing the story! I did always wondered why you didn't use a .com.
@FluentInFinance Save us Andrew!
@gnuntoo Yes, it did exist. I purchased one. It is ok, it is on an early next version of PureOS with PureBoot. Considering the struggles of Purism money wise, I am not sure the long term picture of any of their products.

James Gosling, creator of Java, announced that he is retiring
@headius An end to an era! I miss the old Red Hat/JBoss team that would have taken on these sorts of investment for the betterment of the wider JVM ecosystem.
I bet it will turn out for the better. When Red Hat laid off the OptaPlanner developer, he was able to successfully turn it around into a successful company. Tip: just add AI all over your company page and then reap the success 😉
@rmader This is amazing. I can't wait to use the same camera app on my phone as on my desktop.
@frankel openHAB may not be as popular these days but the one neat thing about it is that it is written in Java

The next release of GNOME will be amazing! I have wrote up many features one can expect to see landed here.

@75watt This is only for those who submit reports on ProtonDB. This represents the distro of interest for enthusiast gamers and wouldn't provide insight into the wider Linux desktop usage. It is still neat to see that enthusiasts are gravitating to Fedora 🙂.

More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.” 62% of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.” #Work #WorkLifebalance #Hiring #Jobs https://qz.com/companies-posting-fake-job-listings-resume-builder-1851556777?utm_content=1851558179&utm_source=email&utm_medium=Quartz_At_Work
@nokyan Gosh, this is leagues above GNOME System Monitor. I hope this makes its way to GNOME core app's one day so millions can enjoy it.
