The Internet is cooked already in the West (and western governments are clamping down, coverage of the genocide in Gaza was the last straw for them), maybe try Rednote, but that's like the middle class netizen part of China.
Executing Epstein literally didn't do jack shit either in terms of silencing any sort of narrative or coverage, it probably had the opposite effect in the grand scheme of things if we are speaking in terms of the Streisand effect. Executing a world leader in his own jail cell and staging it as a suicide would mean that no other world leader or political figure would surrender in the same position and would also risk bolstering the Venezuelan resistance among the people even further than it already has.
This is compared to murdering him in Venezuela where they could say it was the fog of war and Maduro was killed accidentally or after resisting arrest or some made up shit that gets libs forgetting everything the next day.
The hexbear doomerism would be even worse if Maduro was murdered like Allende.
Considering how many people have dogshit "takes" on GNOME about how they secretly hate theming and GTK is their personal playground to bully everyone, yeah it did.
Also I don't know where you come from, but posting passive aggressive ultimatums against volunteers in developing software is not a good look.
edit: found the gitlab mr the blog was referring to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/merge_requests/232
This API may be interesting for developers which do not want to give up support for themes. That's not my case. The GNOME Files app hasn't supported themes for a very long time, there is no reason to explicitly opt-in to themes now. As a co-maintainer of a core app, I'm not looking forward to the added support burden. So, my initial reaction to the proposed API addition is that I don't intend to use it in nautilus.

I love passive aggressiveness on an issue tracker. Truly makes people like you.do you want nautilus to remain the default file manager for Pop!_OS and Ubuntu?
Reposting the tweet here so someone reading this doesn't get it twisted:
J soller from S76 tweeted this
"What we will do instead is replace GNOME components entirely if it becomes too costly to apply our style to them. Come up with a way forward for custom styles, or lose users.",
New programming language
Looks inside
LLVM
The C abi thing is interesting, definitely a must.
The native Linux look and feel is not a real thing. It was a coincidence created by the fact that gnome and gtk was, as you mentioned, the de facto Linux toolkit and the design culture at the time.
Unless youre advocating for a world where everyone must be forced to compile down to gtk, you're welcome to keep your revisionism to yourself.
The links to the twitter shit stirring is real.
I saw a few cases of those situations happening recently System76 / Pop! OS finds a bug (where ‘find’ often means that they confirm an existing upstream bug is impacting their OS version)
They write a patch or workaround, include it in their package but don’t upstream the change/fix (or just drop a .patch labelled as workaround in a comment rather than submitting it for proper review)
Later-on they start commenting on the upstream (Ubuntu, GNOME, …) bugs trackers, pointing out to users that the issue has been addressed in Pop! OS, advertising how they care about users and that’s why they got the problem solved in their OSSystem76 / Pop! OS team, while you should be proud of the work you do for you users I think you are going the wrong way there. Working on fixes and including them early in your product is one thing, not upstreaming those fixes and using that for marketing you as better than your upstreams is a risky game.
None of you read the article it is impossible on hexbear to expect people to read the original article.
Seems like there's holes in it need fixing. Totally 1.0 quality software and not the result of missing self-imposed deadlines for years and then releasing what they had.
Can you give an example of this? I really am not aware of any case where gnome folks had that much sway over other projects.
No idea how people do squash workflows either. Who just writes their goal at the start and then actually achieves it?
Me I love going on a dozen different side quests before doing what I thought about doing yesterday. Who does the main quest nowadays :/
They really went and invented their own desktop just because they got mad that they had to spend an evening or two every 6 months to port their gnome extension.
There is a schadenfreude I feel now that they've decided to take on a job that nobody wants: making a desktop for a userbase with more complaints than users.
As the blogpost states, GNOME didn't do anything to theming that couldn't be received gracefully by downstreams like Ubuntu.
It really is just a case of people leaning on GNOME for so long that they feel that they're entitled to the decision-making process.
In GNOME you can also put the panel/dock in the middle of the screen. There just isn't a nob or lever taking up space in the user interface to do so.
Unlike MacOS, GNOME shell is a live running environment that can be virtually fully scripted at will. There exist community driven extensions that are allowed to innovate outside of gnomes timeline that do what you're talking about. This is what pop had done until they decided it was somehow easier to make an entire desktop from scratch than work with gnome on upstreaming.
You want icons on desktop then that's your prerogative, but you can't assume as a participant in gnome that your say should automatically be fulfilled just by the virtue of you being a user.
Did you read the full blogpost? Whatever imagined enemy you've imagined the GNOME community to be, system76 is a capitalist firm in the US that stands to gain from denigrating projects like GNOME.
This isn't a beef between volunteers over some technical spat in a bug tracker. this is a pattern of slander and purposeful misinformation all designed to make GNOME out to be unreasonable while making s76 out like victims. All with the express intent of advertising their own product.
You can pin files on your sidebar. The COSMIC designers didn't realize how inefficient this is compared to just a starring/labeling system. The sidebar should be for bookmarked directories, pinning files makes no sense.
Also menu bar items combined with symbolic icons on window title-bar is just so unappealing, it's like they decided to do the opposite of GNOME just for kicks and not understanding why those design decisions were made in the first place.
Imagine having a desktop that is just gnome extensions
It's okay, System76 deserves it. No one should ever buy their rebranded clevos with coreboot at the prices they're advertising, just get a second hand OEM laptop like the rest of us.
Maduro is still a head of state and this wasn't a decapitation strike abroad. They basically have one of the worlds most visible hostages who they now can't get rid of. They literally kidnapped his wife for no good reason.
The US feels content showing him off in photos that make him look good so I have some suspicion that they genuinely believe that this law and order arresting spectacle is actually them winning.
