New Gnome Code of Conduct - It's pretty bad tbh

[Christ Cried]

The new Gnome Code of Conduct is blatantly political and has clauses defending discrimination against groups that Gnome considers "privileged."

 

[The Fool]

GNOME is like a miniature Google complete with being run by a woman and throwing away all their money to try and get women to program all the while not really innovating so much as just trying to poorly copy existing technologies that worked better than their half-assed hackjob.

 

[He Who Points And Laughs]

Gnome sucks. Now it's all trooned up and sucking harder than ever.

 

[Exorbital Columnations]

Gnome is for normies who like to LARP as Linux users.

 

[garakfan69]

Physical contact or simulated physical contact (such as emojis like "kiss") without affirmative consent is not acceptable.

This is virtual hugs all over again.

 

[Glad I couldn't help]

Literally another DE or WM on Linux is better.

 

[GethN7]

I could write a better CoC:

"Don't be assholes and focus on the GNOME project."

/end CoC

 

[Irwin M. Felcher]

what's their stance on gnoblins

No one uses GNOME unironically. GNOME 3 chased everyone away and Cinnamon is much better.

Tiling WM > *

I thought this was about Jake Alley.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Nothing in there about short jokes or pointy hats.

The Coc looks very "Garden variety" just like it's users.

Someone help me fix the text being too big in Firefox/set the DPI correctly and I'll switch to i3 in a heartbeat.

(Don't worry, I also use Windows 10, but with lots of the cruft stripped out).

Edit: if anyone is seeing this, I fixed the problem by setting "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" in aboutonfig to "1" and setting the font in "~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini".

Oh, one more thing: put "for_window [class="Firefox"] border none" in your i3 config file otherwise it's easy to miss the scroll bar on Firefox.

Gnome is one of those projects which I don't even know why exists considering the developers absolutely hate their users. Even krita's devs aren't this fucking antagonistic.

This but not once did they mention pulseaudio. Thanks linus for stripping mixing out of core because it was "too slow". Now audio on linux is fragmented as hell and even slower than before!

The only people who use Gnome are people who don't understand that there are other options. Like me in high school when I installed Ubuntu to be a hipster faggot

Don't feel bad, it was the default on Redhat 5. I think it also defaulted to sawtooth as the WM for Gnome, then I found out I could switch it to Enlightenment, and then I found out that I could just run Enlightenment.

I don't know why Linux distros push shitty desktop environments instead of simplistic window managers. The "all in one" approach doesn't square with the intense OCD+Autism that *nix users suffer from.

All I know is, the perfect balance between usefulness and autistic perfectionism in my estimation is KDE.

Side effect of how Linux and a large chunk of it's ecosystem like GNOME is only developed by corporations now, and they desperately and naively try to copy Windows and macOS as much as possible in a vain attempt at market share.

I'm glad KDE development is really picking up the pace now, it might even really start to challenge GNOME.

DWM/i3 > DE

KDE/Plasma is more elegant than Gnome, but still bloated. Just pick a minimal WM and your preferred tools and make your own environment.
