People love to complain about #opensource #foss software as if there is an obligation to satisfy their every need, every whim, every idea.
Instead of complaining:
🧑💻 contribute code
💸 donate
📝 write documentation
💪 contribute what you can
Imagine if everyone using open source software contributed something, instead of abusing it or complaining into the social media void...
#Contribute ‼️

I've just updated my #swift bindings for #gtk and #libadwaita [GitHub: https://github.com/AparokshaUI/adwaita-swift]!
🎉️ Many widgets are now auto-generated using GObject Introspection! Learn more under https://david-swift.gitbook.io/adwaita/information/autogeneratedwidgets
"Adwaita for Swift" is a framework for creating user interfaces for #gnome with an API very similar to #swiftui.
Memorize 0.2.0 for #gnome has a new app icon by @jimmac and an updated design (thanks to @bragefuglseth)!

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.
