First person horror game "Those Who Crawl" has added Linux support recently. It now has a native Linux version and is available DRM free at Itch. It is free of charge currently although you can also tip the developer.
In preparation for the next #phosh release we've released #feedbackd 0.7.0 🎉 :
This adds a new hint to events so that they can override the sound file used. https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/releases/v0.7.0

We've also tagged 0.45~beta1 of #phosh and #phoc. Note that #phoc needs https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4973 which isn't in a wlroots release yet.
I think RDE is already big enough to apply for GSoC as an organization, so I started to write it! :)
What would you like to see implemented in RDE, Arei, Ares, Guile, Guix in the nearest future?
Maybe VSCode frontend for Arei/Ares Guile Scheme IDE? Or more capable and advanced configuration DSL for RDE?

P.S. Let me know if you would like to mentor one of those projects.

I'm pleased to announce the new release of my Science, Programming, Art and Radioelectronics Club (SPARC) book:
https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/SPARC/releases/tag/v3.0.0
It's the 1st version of the book that has the English translation. Currently chapters from 1 to 5 are translated.
Edino Tavares Moniz (@onidemon37) helped with the proofreading, but the last two weeks I was working on my own so all the errors in the recent English text are proudly mine. :-)
Alpine Linux needs your help, a significant sponsorship will end soon.
This post explains what is affected and how you can help:

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
