@gnome Might give a another shot with Gnome 50 out.
@gnome
#GNOME 50 holds a lot of value to me particularly - its the first time I contributed to GNOME, particularly in #GNOMESettings #Calendar #Music and even a patch to #GTK, and helped start the rewrite of Cartridges. Heres to even more work in 51 :)
@zoeyTheWitch @gnome All of that in a single release? What a start
@zoeyTheWitch @gnome
yo, i've been using gnome for 1 year. how can start contribuite as a dev?

@astrofish @gnome Happy to hear you are interested! I would figure out generally what you want to contribute, whether its make a new app or contribute a feature/bug fix to an existing one. Then give https://welcome.gnome.org/en-GB/ a visit, its a good landing page to get all the information you need to get started.

Finally, have fun, and do pop into our matrix chats if you need more help!

Welcome to GNOME – Overview

@gnome Also the first release with some #Kernewek (#Cornish) language support. On the off chance that I'm not the only Kerneweger using GNOME, please do report (or contribute and fix yourself) any errors or suggestions

@pigeon_ @gnome Thanks for contributing to the cornish translation! I hope others will also join you and continue to make it better. :)
@gnome Thank you so much for your contribution!!
Gnome 50: mach’s gut, X-Server!

Das Jubiläumsrelease des Linux-Desktops Gnome befreit sich endgültig von uraltem X-Server-Code, bietet sonst aber vor allem graduelle Verbesserungen.

@gnome Using it, now, in Gnome OS Night, downloaded at about 15:30 (EDT). Screen reader is at 51 Alpha.

@gnome

> Under the hood, the foundations for web filtering support has also been added — a backend service that can enforce content filters for child accounts once the user interface is completed in future updates, allowing age‑appropriate web restrictions without breaking web security or relying on curated lists.

Oh why Ubuntu took over Gnome... 😞

@rodolforg @gnome this change has nothing to do with Ubuntu or any other corporation - this was done entirely by the Foundations interns, like (@pwithnall and @ignapk if memory serves me correct) and is an optional setting for parents to enable how they feel comfortable. hope that clears that up :)
@gnome You have a typo in this sentence: "Thank you to Endless for funding this important work to make GNOME more accessible to young people and their 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬!"
@mattsheffield @gnome it might be intentional? idk tho. carers would be like, the people who are caring for said young children
@kaestralblades @gnome That should be caregivers.
carer

1. someone who takes care of a person who is young, old, ill, or disabled…

@kaestralblades @gnome Interesting. I'm American and we don't have that one.
@mattsheffield @gnome dw im american too so i get your confusion. i just hang out with a lot of british ppl lol
@gnome Congrats on an awesome release 👣!
@gnome I'm running Debian Stable, so...  😂

In all seriousness, I may install another distro on my extra desktop to check this out. 💯  
@gnome What I will say and will keep saying is that the design style of Gnome is my favorite, and it's getting more and more beautiful!
@gnome congrats on the release! So much good stuff 👏🏼 🎉
