Finally took some time to polish and publish Eloquent.

It's a proofreading assistant, that works fully offline; powered by LanguageTool.

Do you want to help secure GNOME and get a reward? 🏅

We are testing a new program in which people get a payment for reporting and/or solving vulnerabilities.

https://yeswehack.com/programs/gnome-bug-bounty-program

From €500 to €10,000 depending on criticality 💶

For now only GLib is in scope but we will expand the list of modules and advertise as the program grows.

In partnership with @yeswehack and @sovtechfund

Great work @matt !

Looking forward to work with you again next year and ship this!

Thank you @sovtechfund ❤️

@aral thanks for the update

Please complain to your operating system or hardware vendor in the future 🙏 Really anyone who makes money of this product.

Not to a community of (mostly) volunteers.

@aral it should be fixed in a recent GNOME version, complain to your distro

Fedora 40 should work just fine

With a telemetry portal for apps, we could

• Let the user enable or disable telemetry per app
• Be transparent about what is being sent
• batch, throttle and schedule transmissions
• deduplicate efforts to collect generic info

Combined with a trusted server to process and relay, we can

• anonymize
• aggregate
• make public

Worth thinking about, no?

2/2 🧵

💡 portal for anonymous telemetry. Hear me out!

Many developers want to have telemetry so that they can learn about how their app is used and how they perform.

It can lead to better software, but it's also a privacy nightmare 😮💨

Currently, apps need to enable full network for it (or more) and users have 0 control over it. This is happening. Right now.

What if there was a way to remove all the negative aspects of telemetry so that we can consider it safe? 🛡️

Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ? :gnome: ❤️ :rust:

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑

We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.

You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

Please send resume / portfolio to stf@gnome.org

Thoughts on the header bar?
It only appears on hover or touch.

Also, time for bed 🙀

Usable screen reader on Wayland is a hard requirement for dropping the X11 session. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/merge_requests/98#note_1907233

We are working on it.

I lend my USB key for 10 minutes to @tbernard and @cassidy minutes at FOSDEM and this is what I get a month later when plugging it back
