Logged into a Teams meeting a few minutes ago and the Manjaro KDE toolbar says "Skype is using the microphone" and I feel like I've learned something dark and forbidden.

Federico, GNOME Co-Founder and Board of Directors member, shared his GNOME story with us. In his story, he talks about valuable lessons learned building and contributing to #GNOME and #opensource.

“People in GNOME genuinely care about each other; and I am thankful for all of the friendships that have come about through GNOME.”

Interesting comments from the #GTK 4.0 introduction article on LWN.net:

I like how GTK is moving forward with GPU acceleration and providing #Rust bindings, but the documentation and about everything else is seriously lacking.

“Polkit now depends on Rust”:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-12/msg00147.html

Specifically, Polkit depends on mozjs, which now depends on Rust.

The introduction of #Rust at the core of free desktops has important implications on portability, #bootstrapping, and overall system complexity. These issues seem to be often overlooked.
