I didn't brag about it here (yet 😉 ) but I'm extremely proud of my latest life achievement: having been granted a #debian Developer account! 🎉
This is due in no small part to my involvement in the wonderful #mobilelinux community, which I'm proud to be a part of.
Let's keep the FLOSS ball rolling!

Sound Recorder lets you make notes without writing anything down, just record yourself instead! If you want to test your microphone, record video voice overs or check how silly you sound when trying to explain something, Sound Recorder has you covered. The app gives you the ability to store, sort and playback any recording you make and then export it as a .flac file
You can get the app on Flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.SoundRecorder

No idea how Windows 10/11 compare, but this is fine in my book!
@joeycastillo just unveiled a redesign of The Open Book! Also seems like they just got an account here recently so give them a follow if you are into #OSHW
I just installed the latest Postmarket OS (with Phosh) on a Pinephone and goodness they have come a long way.
The OS is basically usable. Which is amazing on such an underpowered device.
Also, convergence worked for me for the first time :) And yeah, I could easily use this with Helix Editor + git for development work on the go. (Keep in mind my daily dev machine is a 16-core desktop with 64GB RAM. So, no, it’s not the same experience. But is it usable? Heck yes.)
