Re: GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still...

@steve_v I have had no problems with Xenocara.

But you certainly are being very harsh. Maybe, chill?

That to me is childish.

Just sayin...

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Re: GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still...

@steve_v yes, that is true I suppose. Although, I was talking about people who actually are intending to be those things. You are talking about people who aren't intending to be.

So there is that.

Re: GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still...

The GNOME blog article going off about "fascist maggots" was taken down (out of shame), but you can read the latest archived version here.

Re: GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still...

That article seems like a collection of all the usual buzzwords and expressions a certain political fringe group likes to throw around when they are throwing a tantrum...

It makes me sad to see how immature and brainwashed some people are.

Re: GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still...

GNOME is such a bad joke. Remember when they started a "campaign" against theme makers? All in an ill attempt to claim GTK for themselves... Glad I went back to GTK2 (only stuff like LibreWolf are GTK3, which I unfortunately need to supplement Pale Moon's inability to load a lot of modern Web sites that are bloated).

Also, I highly recommend reading through the original SpaceFM maintainer IgnorantGuru's blog post about GNOME here. It was published way back on November 5, 2012, yet so much of what's written still rings true to this day -- in fact, they've only gotten much worse. A great read, still. The guy mentioning he "doesn't know what Xfce is or does" is the cherry on top.

+1000 to IgnorantGuru!!! I can't count how many times I have shared his "gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes" since it was written. Those of us who were paying attention could see the steamroller coming . . .

Re: GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still...

I saw that steamroller coming the week they rolled out gnome 3 and somebody rolled up a test iso, I tried it being excited because I really enjoyed gnome 2, my gawd it was awful. And it's even worse now years later...

"You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on..."

^^^And right ****ing there we see who the real fascists are.
