Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. The recent proposal from the LF should be condemned and fought against, but you shouldn't be surprised by it, and in general, you really shouldn't be giving them as much credit for the Linux desktop as some people seem to do.
The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.
It's not run by the same kind of people, and does not have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.
It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.

Okay, so after using Cosmic full-time for like 3 months via Pop_OS!
- This is a beta product that should not have been released as an LTS
- This has great potential, 6-24months from now.
- This does not have remotely the community engagement necessary for it's ecosystem to function as intended (like Gnome or KDE does)

I never noticed it until today: #GNOME Papers can show PDF attachments (additional files embedded within the PDF).
For example, the raw data used to generate the diagram is attached to the document.

Oh, if I could guarantee at least €750 per month in donations, I would happily quit my day job and devote myself full‑time to #FreeSoftware. I’d expand my current contributions to #Debian, #GNOME, #Ubuntu, #FDroid, and other projects that interest me but for which I currently have no spare time.
Any ideas on how this could work for an individual developer stuck in Iran?

Special announcement: We're having a theory-focused #BoilingTheOcean event next week at @offline 🤓️📖
We've been using the term "emancipatory computing" for some time, but we don't have a firm definition for it so far. We finally want to change that!
@swick will give a talk with some background, and then we'll have an open discussion on the topic.
Tuesday, November 3
offline, Lichtenraderstr. 49, Berlin

“#Flathub is now accepting AI slop”
the Flathub reviewers have blocked over 1,000 slop apps in 2026 alone. that’s half of the verified app count.
close to a quarter of the store could have been ensloppified by now!
if you want to know what a slopnami looks like, just have a look at this link:

Continuing work on getting variable sliders (inspired by Geogebra) in Graphs. You can do pretty fancy stuff once this is all in.
The dream is to eventually be able to output these as GIF's. But have no idea yet how to get started there, getting the design and behaviour right here has the first priority.

Needless to say, but please don't harass anyone. It's OK to be dissapointed, but let's be civil about it and let's not assume malice.
And there is enough misinformation in this world, there is no need to spread more.
