I do most of my #screenshots with the default tool from @gnome. Sometimes, however, when I like to highlight elements, I prefer to use #Shutter. 🔗 https://shutter-project.org
Today, I accidentally came across this older article from @itsfoss and learned, you can actually also use @GIMP for taking screenshots. (file > create > screenshot)
It''s pretty cool if editing is necessary since it opens the image in #Gimp.

I Found The Perfect Open-Source Keyboard App for Android

Tone, linguistics, semantics. These are a few of my favourite things. Failures to communicate? One of my least favourite things, which happens way too often in the open source space.
I agree about the "Possibly unsafe" messaging. Both Apple and Google just inform you that the app uses certain permissions to gain access to certain features. #flathub should inform the user just that.
In regards to verification, anything not #opensource should get a yellow badge. Outdated Flatpaks should be red.
