    This is honestly really sad. I really don’t get the hostility towards Gnome and it’s devs.

    Gnome is certainly quite opinionated, and isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but this doesn’t make it ok for memes like this (a pretty shit meme regardless).

    Gnome has done a lot for the linux ecosystem, and Gnome developers don’t owe you anything.

    Grow up.

    *Microsoft devs

    Now, seriously. Microsoft’s devs literally only do something if their boss tells them to, and the boss only cares about money. The support teams only know chkdsk and reboot.

      On the topic of Microsoft support, I hate how useless support boards are. They’re always responding with the same template answers describing the exact steps the asker clearly stated they’ve already done with no results. Microsoft is far from alone in this, but I just wanted to rant a bit.

    Why? Because most are working for free and don’t have time for BS. Let’s be serious, the amount of BS or low-effort tickets is high.

    When an unpaid dev is sacrificing free time improving or fixing GNOME tickets better be well-written.

    Having said that, closing well-written and well-reasoned tickets “just like that” and willy-nilly is ofc not OK either.

      Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.

      High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can’t be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.

      Well, at least that’s how I roll as an open source developer lol.

      There are gnome devs paid to work full time. The most notorious dev stirring up drama (ebassi) is one of them.

    While I’ve chuckled at how Gnome devs do things, it can’t be fun being that guy considering how big of a hate boner /g/ has for him

    This is so rude. You’ve done nothing for the guy (neither have I), and have probably used and benefited from his work (that we did not pay for) in some way - and then to single him out and ridicule him? There’s an actual human on the other side there…
