GNOME Took In $556k Last Year While Spending $675.9k

What to say.
I'm no longer amazed how many people getting something for free are surprised that people working for free wont do free work for them on demand.

The whole point of gpl is if you have a bug you need fixed you either fix it yourself, or pay someone random to fix it for you.

If he thinks he can do better, click fork, get on with it. I didnt need to read any further to know he didn't do that. Which by the sounds of it is exactly what the gtk devs did with his complaints about xfce.

lol u gnomies always defendin messy code its not about gettin free stuff its bout quality control who cares bout oop trash gnome ignore real issues an blame devs whatevs i’ll stick to my old x10 that worked didnt need no stinkin updates every other day rust sucks javascript rules

The entire organization sounds like a bunch of incompetent fools - so, whatever decisions/actions they make - it isn't really that surprising....

I know the above isn't really the Foundation 'side' but as a giant group, they sound like a mess.

I just read that article, it explains why the whole gnome UI has become so bad. They simply don't care about usability, as long as they have their CoC to ride on, it probably won't change.

Do you even know what software is?

And it was failing for everyone, not just me.

You are 100% wrong, I did fork it, and I did fix it myself. That's the whole point of the article, and I literally explained that in the second and third paragraph, which you didn't bother reading.

Before criticizing an article, read it, you fool.

Those idiots remind me of mods on forums who go nuts when someone says something they don't like - even if the post content is actually useful and potentially helpful to them or someone else (if on topic).
That's the whole point of it and mSparks doesn't seem to get it or care. You want to talk about open source and that ppl should volunteer to help or work together to fix stuff? Well, there's an example of it NOT WORKING. So, it's good enough for me to recognize the Gnome devs are a bunch of pricks and idiots - so, I really don't want to use a DE when they are so inept, incompetent and arrogant that they shun someone who is trying to help fix their screwups.

Healing crystals are expensive, come on now

We dig up millions of tonnes of the shit...I mean 'healing crystals', every year.

Then 'they' double-dip and ask a fee for 'charging' these pieces of 'Mother Earth'.

Cheeky buggers.

I made it to the 3rd paragraph this time

Update: the developers have fixed the issue

So there was an issue, it was fixed in weeks, thereby demonstrating the system works.

Infinitely better than windows and office and libreoffice which have had far worse open issues in release for decades. libreoffice has had a broken rand() function for as long as I can remember, but according to them


Is a perfectly normal codepath and wont be fixed.

As much as I enjoy detailed tear downs of how issues arise and how they are fixed, its still not telling me anything new or interesting, least of all anything about the gnome foundation.

You have a 4 year old bug report for it?

That blog is Feb 2023. Issues don't magically fix themselves.

OTOH
Wed Feb 20, 2013

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59812

has been sat, and is still sat untouched, despite the fact it breaks every spreadsheet worth more than $1

More than a decade later

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/possible-bug-in-multiple-operations/101083

Every single time I see it come up they decide its not a bug & wont fix.

Literally

And you think a marginal, virtually a non issue in gnome terminal is an examplar of how "terrible" gnome devs are...... If that is the worst issues they have (and tbh, it seems to me to be) it shows THE EXACT OPPOSITE. if libreoffice devs made a terminal the pipe character being non functional would be not a bug & wont fix.

Then you have ms office that fails at fonts and windows that fails at pretty much everything; cant even fork()

And I'm supposed on hate the gnome foundation because gnome termninal takes 2 seconds to close if stdout is still active. insert choice of expletives
