Sometimes your desktop just gets a little boring and when that happens, let Damask refresh it. The app can automatically cycle through your wallpapers and can even find you some new ones. It give you the option to pull from various sources, like Bing and Wallhaven's collection of backgrounds. With Damask, you can always have a new backdrop to your digital life!
You can follow the app's creator here: @subpop
You can get the app on Flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/app.drey.Damask

For #Signal users on #Linux (and #MobileLinux), there is a poll on the community discourse to see how many people are using Signal on Desktop and where they are getting it from, if you want to chime in: https://community.signalusers.org/t/signal-on-desktop-survey/53978
Hopefully if we can show @signalapp@mastodon.world that there is interest, they will finally claim the #Flatpak (and hopefully the #Arm version from Elagost [1] at the same time) !

Signal on Desktop survey?
On this forum there is open discussion about Taking ownership of Signal Flatpak, but in my humble opinion, we need to have some measurements, before we can be taken more seriously by Signal desktop team. Can you please answer to bellow questions.Signal Community

Of course I don't think #Flatpak, #Flathub, #FreeDesktop, etc. are evil. 😂
But we should be happy to use #SteamDeck as a way to get the cool stuff we're working on into the hands of millions of new folks. And we should be happy to use it as an example when talking to app developers we want to support #Linux.
Perhaps this is an alternative interpretation.

1. Several fixes for touch input, making audio/video calls actually usable on phones
2. Fixes for video support so devices with #libcamera / #pipewire support like the #PinePhonePro work now
3. The app is now recognized as mobile friendly on #Phosh
4. Stricter #Flatpak sandbox - no device/all any more
The new version is available on #Flathub and lots of distro repos.

I noticed that many people criticize Flatpak's security for lacking an #Android-style permission model. This article addresses this (false) information with real-world examples.
I explain the differences between the two permission models in a manner that less technical people can understand.
Huge thanks to @orowith2os for proofreading the article :)

Overview of Flatpak’s Permission Models
Flatpak’s permissions can be confusing. Some are technical and need knowledge on how they work, and others are self-explanatory.TheEvilSkeleton
