As a joke, I once asked ChatGPT to write me a task manager using libadwaita and GTK 4 in Vala.
It wrote a beautifully reactive application. That had a counter, that you could in- and decrease it with two buttons. It would display that counter below a label reading "Open Tasks".
In other words, instead of doing anything related to what I asked for, it reimplemented Gtk.SpinButton.

That should be classified as autoclearing the drawing area with a toast reading "Sorry, we only classify characters, and not Rorschach tests"

It has been three and a half months since I announced “I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.”
For that, I was granted a stipend by Google Open Source. And, I would say: I delivered on this promise—see for your self, with the next release of Papers.
Now, my project is over (but I am here to stay), and if you want to read a bit more about what I did, I’ll humbly recommend my blog post: https://blogs.gnome.org/camelcasenick/2024/30/document-viewer-on-mobile

When you wanted to request your extended streaming history from Spotify, you used to need to email their privacy support.
It is great that you are only a mouse click and a 17 day waiting period away to find out that your gini coefficient for listens per recordings is decreasing. 🙃

It clearly show memory usage for the last 30 min. You cannot do that if you did not track it for 30 min.

The idling Firefox is usually three to four times the Shell when no workspace changing happens. So, the load for those apps relative to each other look normal. Maybe you are used to more performant devices?

I probably will not use them. Except my close button location, I pretty much run stock GNOME and will stick with the default accent colour.
I fear that opting in to something like this would increase the amount of uncaught bugs at release, making the app look less well maintained.
Additionally, I fear that making this opt in, will just lead to eventually people showing up in your Matrix room and issue tracker, complaining about you not having opted in. Making it only on paper voluntary.
