After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/288 ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.

The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.

So, my money went to a fork.

I wonder: If a project deliberately unilaterally abandons a #Freedesktop specification, would it be reasonable to ignore their voice in subsequent change discussions to that particular specification, for changes that other projects want to make to it?

After all, by breaking the convention, there apparently is no longer any interest in collaboration and cross-desktop integration anyway...

It would suck though, it would make the Linux desktop poorer, inconsistent and app dev's lives harder.

For a mere £1M - the amount of engineering that the @gnome project has been doing this year is nothing short of phenomenal. The App Ecosystem is worth investing in.

This year's Linux App Summit and GUADEC will be awesome I think :)

The secret of successful organizations is care.

And it's the responsibility of those who've been invested with trust to start the efforts.

Carelessness is a virus that spreads in all directions faster than you can say "not my problem".

I’m seeing a strange issue in several GNOME 46 apps: it seems like if the first interaction within the app is touch, then a bunch of things like menus/popovers just don’t respond to either touch or mouse input until you close and re-open the app.

Am I going crazy, here? I’m testing this on Endless OS but I have a bug report against one of my apps stating this as well.

I need to do some more testing, but I’ve seen this in apps like GNOME Music and GNOME Builder as well.

I really need to automate this somehow, but my latest estimate is 3.13 million active users of Flathub!

This is a number of updates delivered to a popular dependency, org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//23.08, between the 23.08.14 and 23.08.15 releases. This was less than a month window (March 18 through April 9).

Pretty impressive stuff!

Edit: updated, more realistic stats based on @alatiera; thanks!

WTF? Is #Tenacity on the #Flatpak store #MALWARE? Apparently it was running in the bg AS IF it was an invincible #Gnome extension so SystemMonitor/htop would NOT see it as a process. But #MissionCenter (also from flatpak store) saw it as it is: an app running on startup! Killing it killed Gnome session! It was also spiking wifi, and was leaking the Gnome gjs service from 4MB RAM to 120MB. Uninstalling fixed the prob

Third party flatpak/snaps should be vetted.
