GNOME Foundation Announces Cost Cutting Measures Due To Budget Woes

[fitzie]

TL;DR: The Godot project pisses off alt-right Twitter chuds by taking a piss at their sentiment, then debunks the „go woke, go broke“ myth by gaining more financial contributors while the internet laughs at the manufactured drama purely because of the fact that no one gives a shit about „cunnygroyper1488“'s opinions on multi-purpose game engine development.

i don't know the full details, but i've seen the godot post retcon the history of the discord group which you didn't even bother to mention. that combined with the name calling makes it unlikely you saying objectively laying out the just the facts. seems like both sides were eager to blow up the godot community for the cause. anyway, since godot isn't written in rust, I don't see what the fuss is about.

What both sides? The game development community is very progressive. So far it’s only been one specific and bigoted type of people actively attacking Godot, pretending their opinion they got from a garden-variety YouTube grifter actually matters. Or are you just upset that facts don’t care about your fragile feelings?

If what Godot is doing is considered progressive then I can see why people are increasingly identifying as conservative

Nothing progressive about a game engine trying to purposely provoke culture wars.

No, many of the replies are not bigoted at all and are just mad that Godot is trying to provoke culture wars (which was the point of the og tweet). You know this is correct which is why you've resulted to insults rather than just think "the people i share political opinions with have fucked up"

What culture wars? Have you just made up events to be angry about? That’s not good for your mental health, you know.

This has been a one-sided fake controversy manufactured by offended weirdos who covered themselves with an excuse of plausible deniability to harass the Godot folks. Then, they bounced off onto the other woke thing a few days later because no one was actually interested in the bile they spewed. All that remained is grifters who forcefully milked it for engagement. There’s never been so-called „culture wars“ on anything.

Clearly my extreme bias in favor of reality got your panties in a twist, I guess you like it that way.

Anyway, this has gotten a bit off-topic. Tell me what you think of the GNOME Foundation's recent plans instead.

You are very dishonest.
And you are alienating people and making up lies about others to shield ideological crazies who destroyed yet another project.

The issue wasn't the tweet "hurr,we are a woke engine", the issue was that when one person, who was a developer and donator, replied with: "please focus on engine development and not on politics"... he got banned immediately from all places.
Then another person came around and asked when they get bitmap font support merged, and he got banned as well.
It was the banning spree that caused the controversy.

I don’t see what any of this has to do with the GNOME Foundation's recent announcement though.

Did they secretly engineer the fake Godot scandal to attract more funding or something?

you are clearly on one side. seems like you're representing the progressive side fairly well, with all the progressive naming calling and insults. i don't know why I'd be upset at all except for you being totally rude to people in this forum. why act like a jerk in this community just because you disagree about some internet drama happening somewhere else?

Well, their five years plan of appealing to DEI still stands and is not going to change. So i predict that they will keep pissing away money and get nothing in return.

It also doesn't help that they had to kick out one board member because of CoC violations (what those were, is unknown) and that another Gnomie got kicked out of freedesktop.org because of CoC violations. How exactly the Shaman got convinced to leave, is still unknown as well.
I predict that this will get more. We will see more and more Gnomies getting removed.
