Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a tough spot, and after paying my rent this week I am going to be flat broke and will struggle to sustain myself for a while, and could really use the help.
Currently, I am spending a lot of time (between my uni exams) volunteering to help improve GNOME in many ways, such as:
- Better hardware enablement, such as (https://codeberg.org/kramo/cartridges/pulls/406) and (https://codeberg.org/kramo/cartridges/pulls/418) to enable controller input in Cartridges, and (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/682) to support back/forth hardware buttons, like those seen on some gaming/productivity mice, in GNOME Calendar.
- Improve accessibility in GNOME, with (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/4013) to improve accessibility of the selection mode in GNOME's screenshot overlay, and (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/681) to fix missing tooltips and labels in GNOME Calendar.
- Help with maintenance and add new features to many commonly used GTK and GNOME apps, such as adding a new comparison mode to Upscaler with (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Upscaler/-/merge_requests/101) (with help from Skelly), porting GNOME Music to Blueprint with (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/-/merge_requests/1140) and (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/-/merge_requests/1141), and helping to improve the ecosystem by occasionally streaming my changes on my Youtube account.
These changes take many hours of my free time to research, develop and test, with 0 compensation. If #Linux accessibility, hardware-enablement or having amazing, beautiful Linux and #LinuxMobile apps is important to you, I would strongly urge you to donate or boost this post!
My KoFi is https://ko-fi.com/zoeyahmed. My current goal is to raise £300, which should cover me and allow me to continue making GNOME and the FOSS ecosystem better and more accessible then ever!
Current Total: £0/£300

Finally got around to finishing the #PinephonePro review. I know its no longer a #mobilelinux phone that is in production but its still nice to see where it is now at its end of production and to see what was possible on it. Software on it will hopefully continue to be improved upon so hopefully it is currently in its worst state now and will get better in time but only time will tell.

As I was working my upcoming #FOSDEM talk "The Linux Phone App Ecosystem" (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VH3GYN-linux-phone-app-ecosystem-2026/) I thought: Maybe I should ask my followers.. So here we are:
What do you want to know?
Which projects do I have to mention?
What should I focus on?
Which apps do you enjoy the most?
What are you missing?
What are you worried about?
