This year we delivered new Digital Wellbeing features for GNOME including Screen Time history and limits, break reminders for movement and eye health, and improved parental controls with Screen Time integration.

This work was coordinated by the GNOME Foundation thanks to a grant from Endless, and implemented by valued community developers @pwithnallPhilip Withnall and @ignapkIgnacy Kuchciński with support from design team member @snwhSam Hewitt.

RE: floss.social/@gnome/1156624308

I've finally put my money where my mouth is and joined the other .

I've been using since the /#Ximian days shortly after 1.0 and while I have certainly tried other DEs over time, GNOME remains my go-to desktop project after all of these years. It just vibes with how my brain works and what it likes. It is one of my FLOSS rocks.

The consistency, attention to details, and un-overwhelming/non-stim-triggering design has been a comfort to me all of these years later.

I'm finally, 26ish years on, finally in a place that I can actively, and responsibly, support incredible projects like GNOME.
