GNOME 3.30 is releasing tomorrow and I'm really pumped. This will be the first release since I've started to feel like a real part of the community and I'm happy about that.

Protip for Chrome users: to improve your security when using Google Chrome, uninstall it and use a browser that’s not from a company which makes its money from spying on you 24/7

At this point, I’m pretty sure that the tech industry uses “engagement” as a euphemism for “addiction.”

An app written, designed and tested for the elementary platform is going to be odd on GNOME, and something written, designed, and tested for the GNOME platform will have issues on KDE.

It's not always reasonable to ask authors to fix things for a platform they don't support, so you have to be willing to put some work in yourself, get someone who can, or accept that there will be issues.

Many major desktop environments aren't just desktop environments now: they're platforms. They have their own guidlines, best practices, and toolkits, and so it's a little unreasonable to think that something crafted for one of these platforms will seamlessly fit into another. That takes work.
