On August 15, 1997, 
@MigueldeicazaMiguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉 announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”
To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂

chaos.social & Tusky PSA
Seems like the database reset of chaos.social got some timelines in #Tusky stuck (probably because it has posts cached that no longer exists on the server and sends paging requests with invalid ids). Log out & relogin clears the cache and fixes the issue.

The NCAA investigation found “overwhelming evidence” of an “impermissible scouting scheme” over a three-year period from 2021 to 2023 — the year the team won a national championship.
Michigan is classified as a “repeat violator,” according to the NCAA, which said there was enough grounds for a multi-year postseason ban. However, the organization said it didn’t wish to punish any student-athletes for the actions of the coaches and staff.

Question (boosts welcome):
Does anyone know of a community for creators and/or the audience of non-YouTube videos? Preferably here on the Fediverse?
#YouTube replacements like #PeerTube are technologically very sound, but as we all know they're stuck in a vicious cycle of "no quality content means no audience means no content creators means np quality content".
Are there any communities around Fedi creators?

There's a really disturbing #Paypal #phishing scam happening right now. Obviously this reads like a typical phishing attempt (bad grammar, a malformed phone number to call, etc), but the official Paypal email wasn't spoofed. It came from PayPal's email infrastructure.
Examining the headers shows that SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all pass. If you have a Paypal account, please exercise caution. Don't click links in these emails. Forward them to phishing@paypal.com.
Please boost for visibility.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on my latest blog post, it's been really invigorating to hear from folks.
I've added a "further reading" section at the bottom as I think there's plenty of great conversation about this topic and I'm happy to add more:
