    It's just a young adult miss managing their community as they learn how to run a big project for the first time.

    We all made asses out of our selves when we were young and most of us have outgrown it.

    Honestly the lack of customizability is the least of my worries with Gnome.

    Why the FUCK doesn't it have a SYSTEM TRAY without an extension?

    Like it's one thing to be minimalistic and opinionated.

    It's another thing entirely to opt out of basic system functionality that has been part of every OS since 1997. Like fuck.

    Edit: Also how fun that this is how I find out Hyprland is cooked due to internet drama and 4chan bullshit.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    What do you need a system tray for? It has a drop-down control center on the top-right. That mirrors most of the functionality from a system tray that I would need.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    This kind of attitude is precisely what rubs me the wrong way about gnome.

    Like nevermind customization. I care about it because I am literally this. But most people just want their OS to work and get out of the way so they can get to doing work or playing games or looking at hentai or whatever it is their do with their computer and I get and respect that.

    It is true that Gnome's control center can do a lot of things. All the integrated system functionality is there, as is the stuff for applications that are made FOR Gnome.

    But the thing is. A lot of programmes that aren't Gnome-centered, that are DE-agnostic or even System-Agnostic? They expect a system tray, because every OS has had something like it since 1997, and implement functionality expecting it to be there, with some configurations and such only being accessible through the tray icon. And Gnome's general attitude to third party applications expecting something to be there is "fuck off, we don't care, the third party application should adapt to how we do things, but if you REALLY need this thing we decided is worthless, you can install this janky third party extension to get it I guess".

    My choice for 'gets out of the way' would be something like Cinnamon. In my experience, Gnome does the opposite of getting out of the way, as a lot of basic functionality requires third party stuff. So in order to get things to work, if they aren't specifically part of the Gnome ecossystem, you'll have to spend time tinkering, and it's not 'tinkering for fun because I like coonfing', it's 'tinkering out of necessity to get this thing to work properly' which is not nice.

    "Is cooked", meaning "Is in trouble" or "Is in some shit".

    Hyprland's dev got themselves into some internet fight because they associated themselves with a transphobe and Freedesktop people decided this was enough.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

    As I understand, the person who ultimately made the decision to ban Vaxry was also on a massive power trip.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    You'd imagine freeDesktop devs to be more mature about something like that compared to a young adult, and end up being wrong and unsurprised

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    Eh, I'll be honest. Having read the posts here (from both Vaxry AND Freedesktop) about the subject:

    It does seem like Vaxry is just a well-meaning software dev caught up in shit he didn't ask for. He wasn't the person who made the comment for one thing.

    But also I kinda get Freedesktop's angle here, being a queer person myself. I've seen communities I previously cared about get ship-of-theseused into places that are deeply unwelcoming to people like me due to brushing off this kind of 'joke'. You give the -phobes an inch they WILL take the entire road.

    In my opinion everyone needs to be very private online, so i cant really relate.

    But kinda see what you mean

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

    [tongue click]

    In another universe where things are entirely different, I might agree to the 'people should be very private online'. Fuck, I'd even extend it to real life?

    But we don't live in that other universe, and in the universe we currently live, obnoxious behaviour from The Straights (tm) isn't considered obnoxious by 90% of society, whereas even the smallest bit of expression from a GSM person is seen as extravagant and explicit. Straight people can take advantage of the standard of 'people should be private' because their expression isn't considered unprivate by most and the opposite isn't true for us.

    So $&*# that. I'll be as loudly gay as I can be.

    Don't know who this person is but I have a hard time taking him seriously calling people children while reading out the emails like I high schooler dishing gossip and dismissing transphobic moderators as a "whoops"

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

    Imagine NOT being banned from FreeDesktop
