GNOME Foundation Announces Cost Cutting Measures Due To Budget Woes

[curfew]

A significant amount of applications write their GTK4 UI together with libadwaita, probably because it is the latest and most feature-rich choice to the eyes of application developers. Also those developed by GNOME in-house.

Then they want to be Gnome apps instead of plain "GTK" apps. By the way, KDE has used this approach for at least since KDE 3 times for what I know. They don't use "Qt" either but instead K* libs that encapsulate basically every single native Qt class.

Maybe so. Flatseal has been depending on libadwaita since version 2.0.0 (released on 2023-04-27). So far I don't see any alternative with pure GTK or Qt/KDE.

Not really.

Most libraries created by KDE are "addons" to Qt, some are even literally called "<qt library name> addon".

Usually functionality that is not present in Qt or extending functionality of Qt.

They are quite often also used by software not developed by KDE

Guess what, Espada's take is also completely correct.

From taking just a short glance at Lunduke's content, you can deduct that he pretty much built an entire career out of feeding his audience complete manipulative garbage on a regular basis, and they happily gobble it up and thank him on their knees for it.

And just like that, yet another anti-woke brainrot pipeline got added to my filter list. Miss me with that high school-tier drama bait shit. Too bad I can’t say the same for others, but well, guess the grift can’t go on by itself.

"Correct" - being biased yourself? Hypocrite, much? Nah, it's the usual brainwashed posse who find a problem with him - since their woke conditioning makes them only react one way. I don't mind if I'm the one who was added to your filter - it's a badge of honor to get 'filtered' or ignored or 'censored' or whatever you leftwing zombies do in your spare time.

He presents information in a typically very bias way, I personlly don't have too much issues with him, everyone needs a job, but it is what it is.

Like the majority of bloggers or content creators talking about controversial (or even political) topics? Shocker.

Yes, you guessed it right - I am extremely biased in favor of reality. My woke conditioning does absolute wonders in that regard.

For the record, I added Lunduke to my filter, but if you feel so addressed by my statement that you'd rather forcibly put yourself next to a manipulative shark who will sell his audience any conviction they want to hear for clicks in a misguided act of solidarity than admit you’re stanning a grifter who feeds off of your engagement, then… cool beans?

It's so weird to see that Gnome is struggling for money despite being backed by Red Hat, meanwhile KDE who doesn't have a backing company currently has too much money do to a large influx of money a year or two ago.

KDE has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever right now.

He quotes them directly and links their statements/presentations in their entirety.

If you consider that biased then you're retarded.

If that was all he did that would be fine, but he also editorializes.

He's not the only source that documented the Gnome Foundation's woes.

I guess 'Luke' owns all those sites, too, right? The Gnome Foundation seems to be an inept, financially incompetent secretive organization that is not transparent at all and are contradictions in all that they do - and at its core, a political organization more than anything else. The knobs that support wokeness on here - stayed silent on the incompetence part - their main objection was woke 'critiques' so, they are just as stupid and brainwashed. Maybe the Gnome Foundation should hire those ppl on here so that it can go crashing down for good.
