Improvements for TROM.tf :
Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:
Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join :). It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.
Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call
Search
Speed
And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.
Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.

This week's donation went to the Heroic Game Launcher project. It is a launcher where you can manage your games from a variety of stores as well as those you have locally installed. It is focused on privacy, using fewer resources, and supporting a range of tools such as Wine, Proton, Crossover, DXVK, and VKD3D. The code is licensed using GPLv3.0. HGL is available from various Linux distro repos, as an App Image as well as a Flatpak.
The project's main website is here:
https://heroicgameslauncher.com/
The source code is available on Github:
https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher
The project has a presence on Mastodon:

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.
