Gnome developers in a nutshell(lemmy.world)

GNOME developers seem to have some sort of a weird “vision” for their software. If your bug report falls within their vision, good for you. When your bug report doesn’t, it’s insta WONTFIX.

The FDO icon theme fiasco occurred merely a few days ago.

People who do work for themselves and share it with other people don’t do work for other people, big shocker.

Like, seriously, if your Neighbor makes a cake and shares it with you, do you also ask them “that’s nice but can you next time make [cake i like]?”? no! you say thank you and you’re grateful someone is sharing their hard work with you!

Did you notice that I said “merge request” earlier? Your neighbours were kindly helping you to make a cake and you responded to their kindness with GTFO.

If your code isn’t up to par, or your feature isn’t relevant enough and doesn’t fit “the vision”, it’s correct to deny it. On top of diluting the project contributed code add a maintainership cost that the random contributor will probably not be footing.

Accept everything in your cake and tomorrow it’ll be an inedible mess that nobody wants. It’s ok for software to be aimed at different people.

Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
Bigotry will not be tolerated.
These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.
Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t fork-bomb your computer.
