I’m happy to introduce #Steuererklärung: a bookkeeping app for #Linux, #Windows and #Mac with an optional module for German tax declarations with #ELSTER. It’s built natively for #GNOME with #GTK / #Adwaita on #GJS and is #OpenSource 🎉

Germany’s annual income tax return has long had no native Linux desktop application. This app aims to change that 🤓

Feedback, feature wishes and bug reports are very welcome!

Available for Windows, Mac and Linux at jumplink.eu/steuererklaerung

We’re doing another special #BoilingTheOcean event later this year in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony! Thanks to @razze@osna.social and the local hackspace crew for organizing 💚

We’ll probably have a focus on Flathub, Bazaar, GNOME OS, and related stuff, but any other of the usual topics including mobile, local-first, UX, etc. are of course welcome.

November 28-29
AStA of University Osnabrück, Alte Münze 12

Controversial accessibility take from a GTK dev Show

I’m going to get straight to the point with this one.
I am in a room named #a11y:gnome.org. It’s on Matrix, you can access it yourself, anyone can due to it’s public nature.
During the latest conversation, Matthias Clasen is quoted as saying: “one thing to keep in mind is that the w3c stuff is just somebody writing down some made-up rules”

This is after a Ubuntu developer requested an improvement to gtk, highlighting some inconsistencies with combo boxes and other things. The conversation is far too long to post here, but you can easily read it yourself.
Regardless of the conversation, or agreements or disagreements, this is an utterly unacceptable thing to say, particularly if this individual is endorsed by Gnome.
It’s unacceptable for three important reasons: It completely invalidates the accessibility work that is being conducted to improve the Gnome desktop (discarding the hard work of other devs who contribute their efforts towards these supposedly nonsensical guidelines).

It is extremely disrespectful to blind and visually impaired people and others with disabilities who, at the end of the day, just want to use open source software like anyone else. I have definitely witnessed disagreements regarding the w3c and respect that it can’t be implemented to the letter. I have never ever before heard anyone dismiss it entirely, as if it were nothing more than a spec of dirt.
Finally, it makes constructive conversation extremely difficult, how is someone supposed to work with a developer on accessibility, when they possess such an unconstructive attitude?
I feel obligated to call this out, even though I do worry that it may cast doubt on other Gnome developers, but no, too much is too much.
I would like to thank those who are striving to make Gnome and it’s applications more accessible and those who choose collaboration over ignorance.

I’d appreciate if people could make an effort to keep replies constructive, I am doing this as advocacy and challenging what I believe to be a harmful attitude. Linux accessibility won’t improve while people like this are in control of it’s components.
Edit: I have just determined through research that Matthias is actually a manager of Red Hat’s desktop team, making his statement even more damaging.

Sensitive. Show the picture. An element window with the gnome accessibility room on display. Paul Geoghegan writes: "Usually on the web if you start typing or navigate to the first item in the list it will bring you to the search box if there is one. I don't think I have encountered a tab to search one." Some conversation about the appropriate room for reporting ensues, with Paul asking for the request to be handled by GTK first. Matthias Clasen: "one thing to keep in mind is that the w3c stuff is just somebody writing down some made-up rules" The conversation continues with Paul disagreeing, pointing out where experiences are not consistent with combo boxes. A couple users ask for clarification on Matthias' statement. Towards the bottom, one user points out that Paul is merely looking for consistency.

Die GNOME-Extensions-Plattform EGO ist im Review-Stau: Seit Anfang 2025 explodieren die Einreichungen, die meisten per KI. Javad Rahmatzadeh prüft ehrenamtlich bis zu 10 Stunden am Tag und ist nah am Burnout. Gesucht werden Reviewer, Helfer beim Linten und Spenden. Ich habe mit Pulsgeber selbst eine KI-unterstützte Erweiterung gebaut. Mein Fazit: nicht jeden KI-Beitrag als Slop brandmarken, aber Review-Arbeit braucht Hände.

Mir hat ein Sonos-Client gefehlt, der sich nativ in GNOME einfügt. Dank LLMs lässt sich so ein Wunsch heute selbst verwirklichen. Gnomos ist ein freier Client auf Basis von GTK4 und libadwaita. Er steuert die Musikwiedergabe, gruppiert Räume und zeigt synchronisierte Liedtexte – ganz ohne Sonos-Konto. Selbst Lautsprecher der ersten Generation, die offizielle Apps nicht mehr unterstützen, bleiben damit nutzbar.

Hallo Fediverse, ich bin Christoph – seit Kurzem auf social.tchncs.de, vorher linuxrocks.online.

Textarbeiter bei TUXEDO Computers, davor war ich bei LinuxUser und Raspberry Pi Geek. Seit 2006 blogge ich auf linuxundich.de über Linux. Gerade bastle ich an eigenen GNOME-Apps (Gnomos, Blocksatz, Pulsgeber), an meinem Homelab-Server und an lokaler KI. Ist der Rechner aus, sitze ich auf dem Rennrad in Oberschwaben.

Hier gibt’s Werkstattnotizen, Fundstücke und ab und zu Landschaft. Die Artikel laufen über @linuxundich@social.anoxinon.de.
