A new GNOME release has arrived! 🗞👇

There's a lot this release offers, but a few changes stand out.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
Remember GNOME Office? We believe it should return.

Those who used GNOME 2 in the 2000's would remember the now forgotten GNOME Office. I think it's time to revive that project.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)
Exactly 😆
Indeed, a simple #Gnome office suite on basis of #LibreOfficeKit is probably the lowest hanging fruit to create an office suite. LibreOfficeKit is very powerful and is continuously further developed as it's the main engine of @collabora Online.
It has full document fidelity, so even if Gnome office would have few features, it would still be able to open/import/save/export/display all features. It's a pity that no one has tackled it yet.
I wish someone could create a fast, simple, and easy-to-use #Gnome office based on #LibreOffice Kit.
This doesn't seem to be complicated wiht #libreofficekit and has full access to all LibreOffice technology features.

If 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.Hossein Nourikhah (LibreOffice Development Blog)
GNOME has the platform. The office suite is missing.

Your GNOME dock can do way more than just sit there, you know.

Considering the vast configuration options it offers, you can guess why so many Linux users prefer Dash to Dock over others.Abhishek Prakash (It's FOSS)
I use the middle click paste all the time, and I would miss it. Since I use Plasma, I’m sure there would be a setting to turn it back on. Maybe there already is?
The middle click paste doesn’t use the same Clipboard as Ctrl-C, does it? It doesn’t seem to, but I’ve never really looked into it.
Your thoughts on these proposals? 🤨

Proposals for both GNOME and Firefox would disable the feature by default, but the final decision is still pending.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)

for anyone who was in any of the #GNOME #matrix rooms a week or so ago... the flatpak version of element keeps its cache at ~/.var/app/im.riot.Riot/config/Element/Cache/Cache_Data/. you can use something like wipe to securely erase it.
EDIT: wipe and shred and co. won't work on an SSD. use something like blkdiscard instead.
Whenever I sold a drive I've zeroed it once with shred from a live environment: sudo shred -vzn 0 /dev/sdX Before I double-checked it wasn't mounted. This is the fastest way to securely erase a dr...Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
