Why? I am not living in the us but it’s a useful phrase.

Like any cat, Linux is actually liquid and can flow over the whole sofa if it so chooses.

I know of a case in a German university where something like that was dealt with quietly and internally.

But your argumentation structure is flawed. It would be better to argue what an organization ought to do and how that is legally and ethically justified than to argue that every organization would call the cops.

I mean your argumentation boils down to your own ignorance (I don’t know of any case ergo it is impossible/improbable) or hand waving that it is obvious. That is not convincing Argument imho even if what you are arguing for is correct. Which I don’t believe just to be clear.

It… It is? I am not a native speaker but I would’ve for sure thought it was a male name…

I once got a temporary ban on another platform for arguing/suggesting that dude has become genderless.

I know multiple woman that use “dude” that way, but some people are somewhat understandably sensitive on the topic of gender.

Which is actually extremely complex…

Edit: the phone not the interaction

1080’ties really were legendary cards. Back then I only had a 1060ti as my prior card broke unexpectedly and that was all the money I could spare.

This reminds me of an old thread on a random forum. Just when Sims 2 was released they were speculating what Sims 3 would look like.

Someone suggested that the next game will surely be in the source engine!

While your point is more realistic than that I still don’t think valve could pull this off in reasonable time. Translation for games is extremely hard to do right. I think if at all there will be another generation of decks before we see something like this.

I was curious not knowing that evince is getting retired and looked into this It seems there was a problem even for established contributors which is why it was eventually forked. This Blogpost goes into detail.

It seems the main maintainer had very little time for the project. I don’t know if that was the case 4 years ago but if it was it would explain some things.

No thanks. I don’t want nor need to be in the club. Nor will I ever go out of my way to show people that I’m “worth having around” in my free time. I don’t think that’s healthy.

If they don’t see my worth or I am actually worthless to have around I’ll search for someplace else. Like I said already: I have never had that problem in any other project.

Also I don’t feel entitled to have my patches merged. I can maintain them myself if necessary.

Yes which is why I never said the whole of gnome is like that but what my experience was and why I suggested investigating if the claim has merit.

Great attitude! I was the issue all along. Who would’ve thought.

Strange that I didn’t have that problem almost anywhere else where I contributed.

Edit: you do see how your comment matches my experience that it feels more like a closed club of elites right?

Yea I think there is a misunderstanding. My first question was not rhetorical. I was just expressing that my personal experience matches the one described above.

With that both statements could have some truth: 5/6 MRs could be merged and it could still be that they dislike external contributions.

I will not file a complaint or anything like that. It was not that I was insulted nor assaulted just they gave me the vibe that external contribution was not very welcome. While frustrating that is ok, even if it could’ve been better communicated. Also it was like 4 years ago.

Ohh she doesn’t work there anymore?

MRs from who? Because in my experience it often feels like a closed club in gnome land.

I’ve had experience trying to contribute to evince the gnome PDF viewer. It was so frustrating and I was immediately and repeatedly confronted with negativity and distrust that I quit. That was the only time I did that after making a serious effort.

If you scare away anyone else it’s no wonder that it seems like there is no problem.

Hold your horses. An RC is not a release. I don’t trust it.

I don’t know. It’s just that it feels really unorganic how often it comes up on Lemmy.

Especially with fake sounding “organic” threads that I know from proven social media marketing.

I could very well be wrong of course but if I had the time I would investigate this further.

All this talk about organic maps here on Lemmy does not feel organic at all.

Is there an ad campaign or something?
