If you have one of the 240,000,000 PCs destined to be e-waste¹ by the superficial requirements for Windows 11, give Endless OS a try!

Endless OS is the free, user-friendly PC OS packed with educational tools, games, self-guided learning resources, and more—and it all works offline.

It has a growing ecosystem of thousands of indie and big-name apps thanks to Flathub²

Learning to say no is important.

A very long-term Flathub initiative @razze and I have been working on is finally starting to ship! As of today, developers can log into Flathub and see the metadata quality ratings for their apps.

Soon we'll start rolling out curated banners for the home page, as the first part of actual app curation on Flathub! Exciting times ✨️

My personal vision with all of this is to see #wayland desktop technologies not only catching up with what other OSs offer, but becoming leading players - just like what other FLOSS projects already archived (or are in the process of becoming) in their areas. I'm thinking of #mesa, #pipewire, #gstreamer, #systemd, the kernel of course, and many others.

Here is my latest blog post outlining some of the work we did leading up to Fedora Workstation 39, but also covering some future developments! Hope you enjoy.

I'm starting to prototype my new architecture for #GNOME #accessibility today. I blogged about this roughly a month ago: https://blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2023/10/27/a-new-accessibility-architecture-for-modern-free-desktops/

Most plastic goes into landfills — or worse, into the environment. One big reason for these dismal numbers: Plastics are actually quite hard to recycle.

Next time someone asks you: Where is the Palestinian Gandhi or Martin Luther King, please, direct them to #IzzeldinAbuelaish.

Boss: Why haven't you done any of the work I gave you?

Me: What work?

Boss: From my emails!

Me: Oh, I deleted those.

Boss: WHAT?!

Me: I thought they were phishing attempts.

Boss: Why?

Me: The IT security training said typos and unexpected requests were clues to spot phishing.

Yesterday I boosted someone else's announcement of my post on the new GNOME accessibility blog, but apparently some folks couldn't find the link in that toot, so here it is again: https://blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2023/10/27/a-new-accessibility-architecture-for-modern-free-desktops/

Also wanted to add: I'm glad to be getting back to work on accessibility on desktop Linux, after ~20 years away. Hopefully with the experience I've gained in the meantime, my efforts now will be more effective.
