1 - What is GNOME ?
GNOME stood for GNU Network Modeling Environment at some point, which meant it was initially developed as a part of the GNU project. It was started by Miguel de Icaza in 1997, in reaction to the creation of the K Desktop Environment, which was, at the time, based on a non-free library.
2 - GNOME 1
The first version of GNOME was released in March of 1999. It sported a similar look to Windows and KDE? with a bottom panel, a task manager, and a main menu.
APPLICATIONS SHIPPING
GNOME 1.0 received 2 major updates in the next two years, namely GNOME 1.2, codenamed "Bongo", which focused on user experience, adding help and documentation, and new translations, and GNOME 1.4, "Tranquility, released in early 2001. 1.4 was a big release, introducing Nautilus, which managed the desktop, and served as the web browser and file manager.
3 - GNOME 2
GNOME 2 is still the longest running version of GNOME, with 2.0 releasing in June 2002. GNOME 2.0 revamped the whole desktop, basing itself on GTK 2, the next version of its base library. GNOME 2.0 introduced a lot of changes, adding font antialisasing, new icons and support for theming the stock icons, as well as streamlining the interface, removing some unused configuration options and making sure the interface was as accessible as possible. GNOME 2 introduced a dual panel setup, with the panel on top hosting the main menus and the system notifications, and the bottom one displaying the task manager as well as the virtual desktop switcher.
GNOME 2.0 was followed by 16 releases, one each month, lasting until GNOME 2.32, in september 2010. Notable highlights from these releases are the addition of a CD burner directly in Nautilus, replaced later by Brasero, a dedicated application, and a new spatial mode using one window per folder, the release of Epiphany, a GNOME web browser that still exists today and is the default on elementary OS, the creation of Evolution, a complete Outlook-like solution for email and calendar, the addition of a video player, Totem, and a document viewer, Evince.
GNOME 2 was the default on many distributions, most notably Ubuntu, during its whole cycle until XXXXX which switched to Unity, after the release of GNOME 3.
4 - GNOME 3
In April 2011, GNOME Shell 3.0 was released. Its goal was to unify the user experience, providing easier ways to start and maange applications and windows. Its first version was not that well received, some users indicating that "they forgot how stable and beautiful GNOME 2 was". GNOME 3 is still in use today, with version 3.30 being the current one at the time of this video's recording.
GNOME 3.0 redesigned the whole experience. Gone were the panels of old, and the task managers, replaced by an all in one overview of activities, grouping shortcuts, open applications, and virtual desktops in one place.
GNOME 3 came with a whole new theme called Adwaita, and most core GNOME applications were redesigned to better fit the new desktop metaphor.
Since these changes were not to the taste of everyone, some members of the community decided to fork the GNOME 2 codebase, and created MATE. Another group ran with GTK 3, but reimplemented the traditional desktop metaphor with GNOME shell extensions, eventually leading to the creation of Cinnamon.
GNOME 3 still pursued on with its new idea of how a desktop should operate, and received a lot of updates, going through 15 new releases, one every six months. Here are some highlights:
GNOME 3.2 brought synchronization with online accounts, as well as a contacts manager, and the support for web apps, which wre going strong in 2011.
GNOME 3.4, released in march 2012, put Documents, Epiphany, and Contacts through a redesign to better integrate with the rest of the desktop, and added Applications menus, smooth scrolling support, as well as a ton of improvements in the looks department.
GNOME 3.8 added an applications view, displaying the most frequently used programs, as well as the ability to see all applications. It also introduced a GNOME classic experience, for those that wanted to return to the GNOME 2 desktop layout.
GNOME 3.10, released in september 2013 added a bunch of new applications, most notably GNOME Maps, GNOME Notes, GNOME Music and GNOME Photos, bringing the GNOME software collection to a whole new level.
GNOME 3.24 added night light, a feature elementary OS Juno has added recently, to help reduce eye strain by reducing the amount of blue light emitted by the screen, and GNOME calendar got a week view.
GNOME 3.26 revamped the settings application with a navigation sidebar, and added firefox account sync to epiphany, its web browser.
Finally, the latest version, 3.30, was released in september 2018, and greatly improved desktop performance, using fewer system resources. With it also came auto updates for flatpaks, and a new Podcasts application, as well as a ton of other improvements.

The Problem with the Fediverse
I have no issues with the way it is implemented, I have no issues with it at all. For context, I left Twitter to join the Fedi, and it has been great so far! I use Misskey for microblogging, PeerTube for uploading videos, and Lemmy for Reddit-style discussions. The Fediverse is amazing!
Except, idk, for the fact that it is too fragmented? I hope I am using the right words. Like, the current instance I am on does not have support for communities, so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It's a good workaround, considering it doesn't have built-in support for communities.
But my point still stands. It's not a Lemmy/PieFed problem. It's mostly a fediverse problem. Implementing communities for every platform would help the Fediverse. Not only does it solve discoverability/algorithm issues of the Fediverse (since now when you follow a community, you get all posts from that community), but also it would interconnect every platform (Misskey, PeerTube, Mastodon, etc.)
Imagine you don't have to use your Lemmy account to check everything on Lemmy. Instead of creating channels in PeerTube, just post to an existing channel/community, and people subscribed to that channel/community can find you easily. I see this as an absolute win for everyone.
I understand this would require collaboration between all developers of all software. But hopefully, this is possible?
Or am I asking for too much?
If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?

I think what will eventually happen is much like what happened to email, it too was very fragmented feeling early on but more and more adopted it and more servers kept developing and popping up and then at some point more service providers became more similar than alike and then it became what it is now.
The tricky part is that the concept and usefulness of a federated network mostly only grows in the long run and looks like its not going anywhere in the short term much like email and that is always what makes people question its efficacy.
Participation in any and all forms is what establishes it more and more.

its 2025, and people still dont know how to use email?! And they are using the internet?!!! Its clearly not the fediverse's fault...
My parents barely know how to use a computer, let alone use social media. And they STILL understand how email works! Our family grew up with email.
I am very much worried about the future of the tech world, if this continues...

#DPRK always knew.

That is why it is now very close to crushing the colonial West.
Going back to the system as it functioned in 1900 would solve a LOT of problems. Feds have to collect taxes from state governments, and state governments appoint senators.
Whoever you put in congress, they have no reason not to spend more and more money. Go back to that system and now whenever the feds want to spend, that's money out of the budget of the states - who call the senators and say "WTF is this?!"

The Swiss government tries to fuck us over with a new "agreement" with the EU 😡
archive.ph/Nlu7V
Among others, the EU wants that Switzerland gives EU citizens (which includes all their 3rd world migrants who received papers after 5 years) a permanent residency status after just 5 years.
So people from the EU who work in Switzerland for 3.5 years, lose their job and collect unemployment insurance for 1.5 years would automatically be entitled to live on Swiss Social Security.
The official estimate is 3000 to 4000 more social security recipients immediately 😡
Based on all the bullshit they said previously, we can expect 200K social security recipients within 10 years.
I really hope that this agreement will be rejected by the people.
And fuck those sell-outs in the government ☠️

Why does a narcissist build metaphorical "mirror rooms" where only his opinions matter? 🪞
Narcissists often create echo chambers — or "mirror rooms" — to surround themselves with reflections of their own beliefs and ideas. This serves to boost their fragile self-esteem and control the narrative around them. In these spaces, dissenting opinions are dismissed or punished, reinforcing their sense of superiority and validating their distorted self-image. Understanding this can help those affected see the patterns and reclaim their own voice. 🧠💡 #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.
When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

C’est un fétiche et c’est une jérémiade : « l’union ». Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas. L’essentiel est d’être « unis ». Tous ensemble vers le talus — on finira sur le toit mais on sera restés soudés. Le gros bon sens qui tache proteste cependant : « unis, on est plus fort que divisés ; divisés on n’arrivera à rien ». Mais tellement. En matière syndicale, les prodiges de « l’union » sont encore très frais dans nos esprits, et offerts à (ne pas) être médités : c’était en 2023, à l’occasion des retraites. Pas d’erreur, on a été bien unis. Avec la CFDT. La preuve, on n’est pas « arrivés à rien » : puisqu’on a mis des millions de personnes dans la rue pendant deux mois. Pour, à la fin, perdre l’imperdable. Par alignement de « l’union » sur la mollesse politique, l’incompréhension des situations historiques et la nullité stratégique. Tous ensemble — dans la défaite. Attention, pas n’importe laquelle : une défaite triomphale, unanimement célébrée. Par la bourgeoisie – et sa presse, admirative : voilà de la bonne union, celle qui ne nous fera jamais aucun mal.
