  • There is no fight, they’re different markets. Sure they’re similar on the surface, but I use my deck differently to the Switch.

    But if people insist on having this be a stupid “war”, then Nintendo would obviously win. Even a Wii U level flop would vastly outsell the Deck, Deck 2, or any PC handheld. The Switch sold over 147 million.

    I will continue to mainly play on my Deck while hoping for a Deck 2, and consider picking up a Switch 2 if the price is right and there are good couch multiplayer games. We don’t need to turn this into a Sony Vs Microsoft-style fanboy war.

    I never called you cancer, or insulted you.

    See:

    Entitlement like that is the biggest cancer in the FOSS community, IMO.

    I said feeling like the devs owe you something is entitlement, which is a cancer to the FOSS world. You aren’t owed anything, and neither am I.

    Nowhere did I say you were cancer, unless you happen to proudly identify as an extremely entitled person.

    Like I said, sorry if my words hurt you, but you aren’t entitled to have the devs carer to you specifically. The project is theirs and if you don’t like it, fork it or use something else. That’s what FOSS is all about.

    No, no, no, no.

    Some developers do some paid work. The vast majority is unpaid. I’m not sure where you heard that, but that information is incorrect.

    And I never said they did all of the work for free, I said predominantly. Same goes for other projects.

    Please don’t try to twist my words, I feel I was very clear with them.

    Yes, it is their project. They own it. It’s theirs. They are the developers.

    Linux is philosophically underlined by freedom of choice and personal customization

    And Gnome doesn’t go against any of that. You are free to not use it. They aren’t forcing you. You are free to customise it. They aren’t stopping you.

    Please stop acting so entitled. This is software they are providing for free, the bulk of the work being unpaid. They don’t have to do free work for your specific needs if they don’t want to. It’s their project.

    I never insulted you. If my words hurt, then I’m sorry, my intention is not to hurt you.

    I’m just trying to steer you away from the path you’re on of thinking you’re entitled to XYZ and some predominantly unpaid devs have to cater to your whims. They do not. It’s their project, not yours, and they rightly call the shots.

    “We” is obviously the hard-working developers who predominantly work on Gnome unpaid. The people who provide the software for free.

    To be completely honest, I’m not sure how you don’t know who “we” is in that context. When the devs of a project say “we”, who do you think they’re referring to, the Jackson 5?

    Literally every project makes decisions on what their vision is and enacts it. Gnome is no different.

    If you don’t like a piece of software, don’t use it. Nobody is forcing you to use it.

    Frankly, you sound entitled. They aren’t obliged to make their project to the way you want it. Especially not when you’re getting it for free. Entitlement like that is the biggest cancer in the FOSS community, IMO.



  • I’m very well aware of the Holocaust, thanks. Not only is it taught in schools extremely extensively where I live, but I have family near Kraków, and I’ve been to (relatively) nearby Auschwitz 4 or 5 times.

    You’re obviously hinting that someone who is Jewish cannot be a Nazi, but that’s categorically untrue.

    There were Jewish Nazis in 30s/40s Germany/Austria, and there are Jewish Nazis today.

    Netanyahu is genocidal. He is racist. He is trying to create an ethnostate. He is expansionist. He talks of getting rid of undesirables. He defends people literally doing Nazi salutes.

    He is a Nazi.

    Same. I hate desktop clutter. The horrors I’ve seen when I’ve been on someone else’s PC. Random desktop documents that haven’t been touched in 5 years. Why?!

    Even aside from looking ugly, it’s not even a good place for apps/files! If you have a window or two open, everything is obscured and you have to move windows out of the way to access your stuff.

    They get a lot of shit for it, but IMO Gnome was 100% right to say “No. The desktop inevitably becomes a dumping ground and we don’t want that. Your app menu is for apps and your Home folder is for files. We have very good search functionality to find what you want. No desktop icons. If you want that, install an extension.”
