Why does GNOME have a bad reputation?

[nostalgickitsune@social.treehouse.systems]

@soller Jordan's response was too impulsive, and I feel like saying that, but at the moment I see that there is a huge rift, even some comments are not exactly optimal here and elsewhere (Using nicknames and insults doesn't help at all, just saying)

There is a lack of maturity and professionalism in both parties.

@NostalgicKitsune Please understand that the people in my thread are reacting to Jordan's response, which may have affected the tone they use.

[nostalgickitsune@social.treehouse.systems]

@soller Understandable, but it doesn't help, at least I'm the one who doesn't appreciate this behavior, this in both parts

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@NostalgicKitsune Would anything ever help?

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@NostalgicKitsune @BrodieOnLinux @aks @tripplehelix I can get desktop icons by using cosmic-files, because sway has layer-shell support

[nostalgickitsune@social.treehouse.systems]

@soller @BrodieOnLinux @aks @tripplehelix I understood it ha ha, having tried COSMIC (which imho seems very interesting)

@NostalgicKitsune @BrodieOnLinux @aks @tripplehelix Sorry I accidentally some words, edited.

@soller last time I checked, System76 isn't much better either

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@TheEvilSkeleton The only group that seems to harbor a dislike of System76 are all GNOME contributors!

It is precisely the "my way or the highway" style y'all have that led to this. Maybe we can block eachother and move on with life?

[theevilskeleton@social.treehouse.systems]

@soller yeah, because GNOME is the only group System76 decided (and miserably failed) to dictate the direction

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@TheEvilSkeleton What are you talking about?

[triskelion@floss.social]

@soller @TheEvilSkeleton Probable it's about COSMIC no longer being a fork of GNOME xD

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@triskelion @TheEvilSkeleton Thank the gods we don't have to adapt to their choices anymore.

@soller why does System76 have a bad reputation?

System76 employee asked and got an answer: https://blogs.gnome.org/christopherdavis/2021/11/10/system76-how-not-to-collaborate/

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@TheEvilSkeleton Lies and this is still GNOME nonsense

[theevilskeleton@social.treehouse.systems]

@soller it's hard to believe you when the author proves their point

[soller@fosstodon.org]

@TheEvilSkeleton Blocked.

@soller @BrodieOnLinux @[email protected] Speaking about standards, could you please update the cosmic portal to indicate the correct screenshot portal version?

Currently, it returns 2, which indicates that color picking is supported, even though it is not. This leads to mistakes where clients wrongly assume that color picking works.

I've made PR a while ago, but it hasn't seen any response so far.

screenshot: indicate correct version by FineFindus · Pull Request #103 · pop-os/xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic

Return version 1 for the screenshot portal to indicate that the PickColor method is not yet fully supported. This will allow clients to properly check and handle the missing method. Ref: flatpak/xd...

@FineFindus @BrodieOnLinux Sure, I will request a review on this
