PSA: I'm stepping down from putting together an STF application for 2025.

Reflecting on our experiences with the STF project last year, I no longer think the GNOME Foundation is a good venue to organize development collectively. Even if the Foundation's current issues are fixed, we've seen how risky it is to centralize development in a single structure.

My hope is that we'll learn from this and find more sustainable, decentralized ways of organizing going forward.

Seems some of phosh's features could use some marketing 😃 . Anyway: I've just added how to use swipeGuess in the manpage: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/162/diffs#735044ffff1f81fc8d896219ab2f1b22d6d09976_268_286

Introducing Honeybee: an XMPP client to make calls!

The goal with this project is to hopefully have another option for improving call reliability on Linux (and consequently Linux mobile).

Can we have an abstraction over these UI toolkits/libs so apps can target multiple UIs without thinking too hard about it? 😅

idk why people say funding OSS is difficult

From editing waveforms, to simply editing text files. #Radio #journalism is changing! I've tested and tried a workflow that uses #Whisper for automatic transcriptions and #Vim for editing that is very promising and a bit...okay, very nerdy. Here's why it matters, how it works and what is still lacking:

@zachdecook Okay, this is awesome. It just took me only 30 minutes to do a rough edit of an almost 2h interview, which is now also 30 minutes shorter! I'll play around a bit more, and then I'll see if I can do a write-up from a radio journalists perspective on what works well, and where the rough edges are.
