I like #Gnome, but sometimes I find it a bit unintuitive. I wanted to change my profile picture and had to go to Settings -> System -> Users -> Profile Picture. I have no idea about design stuff. Maybe that makes a lot of sense to hide the setting there.

But in the end you won't please anyone. That's why this post is not meant in a bad way.

Ah yes, the age-old tale of Regex: the #mystical, misunderstood #ogre of the #coding world 🤖. The article bravely ignores 90% of its complexity, claiming if you squint just right, it's actually a friendly #garden #gnome 🧙‍♂️. Just remember, if your regular code takes days and your #regex takes minutes, maybe it's time to 🛠️ refine those coding #skills.

Hi @robert , Verb looks great. Is it already in a repository?

I wonder if you have thought of using #LibreOfficeKit as backend? A simple GTK4-based word processor on top of libreofficekit as backend would be great. A simple app that can display any #LibreOffice document with basic text-editing features. Together with a minimal clutter-free UI would be great. I'd use it everyday.

See (incl. prototype): dev.blog.documentfoundation.or

LibreOffice Development Blog · LibreOfficeKit API in action - LibreOffice Development BlogIf you want to use LibreOffice functionality in your applications, LibreOfficeKit API is one of the good ways to do that. Here i describe how, with some examples.

Tried out Highscore (formerly GNOME Games) on my OnePlus 6T via the Flatpak developer builds under GNOME Mobile — and wow, it runs beautifully on a touch-based mobile form factor! 💜🎮

Without a physical gamepad, it shows a virtual one on screen. But as soon as I connect my 8BitDo Micro controller, it switches seamlessly — virtual gamepad disappears and I'm playing with real controls. Just works™.
