GNOME is going bankrupt. DONATE NOW!
>>100189468ebasedi bros................. its not looking good............. what if we get fired.......
>>100189468I thought gnome is free and run by volunteers?
>>100189468There's no use-case for donations Therefore I ain't doing that
>>100189468how much money are they burning through if they get money from Red Hat and Canonical?
>>100189468what is the use case for Gnome? none? oh well.
What use case does a fundraiser serve?
>>100189468didn't they hire a shaman to raise funds?
>>100189468>a new execute director joins in>she immediately increases the amount of whale chairs so she can invite her groupies for free foss donation moneyoh nononononono
>>100189468Gnome already has all the features I need, what is the use case of developers?
they are literally being funded by google, red hat, canonical and suse. how do they even manage to fuck up the resource management this badly?
>>100189579They have tons of programs where they give away money to women and non-whites
>>100189579They simply do not have the manho- transwomanhours to invest in handling the bug tracker.Sad, really.
>work at ikea>get into gnome board of directors because of muh diversity>make a whooping amount of 10 posts in 4 years on GNOME discourseYeah, I think I'll give my money to GNOME.
>>100189579they're re-donating to black lives matter and CPUSA/Communist Party of the United States like Mozilla was doing
I just realized that my life has no use-case.

>>100189468>they spent all the money adding thumbnails to the file pickerYou did this to them, apologize
>>100189615How difficult is it to get into these boards?I'm thinking make a fake online profile with diversity written all over it, somehow manage to join a bunch of open source boards as a director, collect a bit of money from each. If there's any actual work then just let AI handle it.
>>100189468> does nothing to improve gnome over many years> prevents features from being added because epussy can't be bothered> won't accept additions and improvements unless he's involved somehow to take credit> plz give us moneyi wonder if this all connected somehow? mysterious.i have a donation: FUCK OFF AND DIE, EPUSSY.

>>100189486they've been ebegging for years and surviving off of grants, anon. due to ebussy's staggering levels of incompetence, lack of will, shitposting on various websites, people have stopped giving these useless cunts money. >>100189468reminder:>The GNOME Foundation is thrilled to announce the GNOME project is receiving €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund to modernize the platform, improve tooling and accessibility, and support features that are in the public interest.>€1M https://foundation.gnome.org/2023/11/09/gnome-recognized-as-public-interest-infrastructure/the absolute nerve of fat pussy and gnomeniggers to even dare complain about money if they've burnt through 1 million since the end of last year. lmao.

no. FOSS is free as in freedom not beer.if the money is tight they can sell the software. they can also offer paid consulting for problems, questions and debugs.
>>100191157what's the use case for money in your wallet? just give us all you have
>>100189615kek, the sad state of FOSS

>>100191368Red hat is sponsoring Gnome development, this is a nothingburger
>>100192801The problem is too much clever code not too little.
>>100192946> gnome> cleveryet to see it.
>>100189468donations? whats the use case for that?
>>100190693is this even true or did you just make it upmy dad sits on a board of a tiny non profit and he gets $80k/yr for 4 meetings per year

>>100193421pretty sure that was linux torvalds
If I donate, where do my donations go?
>>100189468>donateWhere's the usecase? Won't fix
>>100193474Into some weird bureaucracy. Any real development is either financed by RedHat (i.e. by employees of RedHat payed to work on Gnome) or done for free by autists. Donating to Gnome does nothing.

>>100189697Not with that attitude
>>100191236rude
>>100195370Neither with your argument.

>>100189615https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCWjdIUWdc0wtf gnome is based and christian?!?!?
>>100189599you mean money laundering? ok thanks, calling financial crime prevention
>>100191076Funny you mention Outreachy! The only time they did Outreachy is the same year that epussy met with his transman wife. He was a woman at that point. Do you think he could've groomed her and told her to be a transman?
Why this keeps working?
>>100189468Gnome crashing and burning will hurt the Linux ecosystem. But they 100% deserve it with how they have run things. Fingers crossed that the community bouces back relatively quickly. We only just got to 4%
>>100189477>EbassiGod, I remember that idiot getting super mad at me once randomly at a forum because I had the audacity of running a system without polkit on it.Yes, he kept insisting that I didn't know what I was doing and didn't understand what polkit did because I ran a system without it. He was so mad by this affront and heresy that I ran a system without polkit on a single user computer. He couldn't believe that I simply mounted my external drives with a mount command and sudo.
>>100195960>Do you think he could've groomed her and told her to be a transman?I believe it. As a homosexual I'd rather be a virgin than fuck ebussy, he has to make do.
>>100196032You know what also a funny coincidence? Before meeting epussy, his wife joined FOSS through Outreachy
>>100196013Please post a link. I'm compiling a massive dossier of dirt on ebassi to send it to RedHat HR
>>100196063https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3h9z06/the_journey_of_purging_polkit_from_your_system_on/cu5q3k4/The welcoming and friendly GNOME community for you.
>>100196150Thank you, my brother in Gentoo. I will reward your suffering and ease your pain
>>100196150>the community with "code of conduct" and "inclusivity" is headed by a power-tripping assholeNeither disappointing nor surprising
>>100196224Yeah, all these code of conduct wankers have twitter and forum posts where they are unreasonably aggressive.They were also immediately able to dig up dirt on Twitter on the people that banned the Hyprland dev for not running his own discord in accordance to the Freedesktop code of conduct which they then promptly deleted.Ehmke is the worst one of all who's basically the primordial engineer of Code of Conduct as a conduct and constantly insults people on Twitter over minor things.It's really a for-thee-but-not-for-mee culture, but that happens everywhere I suppose.
>>100189527I hate women and I hate foundations. We need a king with all men homo court to run FOSS. None of this woman ick
>>100189468GNOME != GNOME FOUNDATION
>>100196150Thanks for the read Anon, that whole attack vector bit about changing the system time was choice. Why the fuck. Did Ebussy come out swinging like that though?
>>100196272I love women and the crazy porn they draw write about being raped by hot chads with gigahands.
>>100196404Because he's clearly deeply insulted that someone would want to run a system without Polkit.It's just bizarre how personally he takes it. If you ever talk with Freedesktop devs it becomes clear they really, really do not like it when someone doesn't use their technologies. Most are considerably less angry about it but you can smell the contempt in the way they word things when they find out you're not using Freedesktop tech.
>>100196449Just how he was obviously deeply insulted by a state of inceldom. Have you noticed how he started flexing with his marriage since he got married? Sounds like he got shoved into the locker for being a gfless virgin one too many times.
>>100196483What the fuck are you talking about, no one even mentioned incel's
Red hat should just cut them loose at this point and back a different horse.
>>100195458hello andrew
>>100196512Take a second anon. Find some of those posts by epussy where he had a meltdown over the user "ebussyfoot". Notice how he was calling that anon a virgin over and over.Now, notice that ebassi has not been doing this kind of thing before he got married.What I'm saying is that perhaps he is now wielding the weapon once wielded against him - accusations of inceldom
>>100189468The GNOME Foundation, after years of running a deficit, is focusing on fundraising to sustain its operations. If you value open-source software and want to support GNOME, consider making a donation. Your contribution can help ensure the continued development of the GNOME desktop environment and associated projects. Every little bit counts!
>>100196150There is no going back
>>100196588Do they give any reasons as to why you would want gnome to continue?
>>100196637I don't think they are going to do literally anything about a 9 year old post. That is like dragging a tweet from some forgotten corner of twitter from a decade ago.
>>100196664There's more. epussy just can't shut up when he's mad. After all, he's from Naples, they're a temperamental bunch
>>100196702What else did you have?
>>100196718
Maybe if they implemented useful features in the base Gnome desktop, and not bitch at their users for requesting these simple additions, they would probably be fine. The fact they have to rely on extensions made by the community is dumber than shit because every major release, some always break. Also, they deserve to go under, since they outright refuse to put in an active app taskbar, and a dock without relying on a 3rd party extension.
>>100196743That's nothing, it's socially acceptable to bash 4chan users.
>>100189468What is the use case for GNOME?
>>100196781>>100196718I'm not:- dumping my evidence- disclosing the full list of companies I contactedon the off-chance that ebassi or his minions are watching and deleting his posts, or that he will know which company to pull his strings at, to get away

CoCs only exist to eliminate wrongthink, not simple asshole behaviors. I wouldn't be surprised if Emmanuele turned out to be a protected useful idiot for M$ or god knows what else. He's not going anywhere.
>>100196895What are you talking about corruption of champions for
>>100196912LMAO. CoC = Code of Conduct
>>100196781how about unsocially?
>>100196743Wow, he's literally me. I also constantly call people on 4chan pathetic weeb permavirgins.I think another GNOME dev when he was trying to ask technical things to trap me and expose holes in my knowledge which I could all answer at one point also replied with “Did you ever kiss a girl?” then as an epic comeback.
>>100197210Well, did you ever kiss a girl?
>>100197245No, I'm a faggot.

>>100197470Cosmic gets no victory until it is actually out. If Gnome were to die today then everything but cosmic would be available
>>100197553This has to be a joke post by someone else.They would never themselves admit this is the reason.
>>100191142holy basedebussy seething right now
>>100197600I imagine that they were not admitting anything in that post. Rather they were using it for sympathy to fet more money and virtue signal. "We are just spending SOOO much money on our outreach program that we are in the red financial. Won't you give us more money because we are such good people:)" is what they were probably thinking. When anyone with a brain sees "We are spending money that you give us on wasteful endeavor and we want you to bail us out so we can keep doing so.". The idea of slashing the program either never occurred to them or was immediately shot down.

The primary way that a user would shut down (if they, say, need to disconnect power) would be to log out and shut down through GDM.You were forced to logout firstBut they changed their mind
>>100198820>companies are the driving force behind linux and not the autistic fosstardsgrim
>>100198954>Every other OS lets you shutdown while logged in>"Why would you want to do that?"Sums up Gnome perfectly
>>100198972Linux exists without the corps and will continue to do so if the corps move away.The libre-kernel exists.
>>100198972It only makes sense that product flows from capital. There is a reason why linux started shooting up in popularity once companies started taking a bigger interest in them.

>>100189468Gnome to focus on fundraising so they can pretend to improve gnome for linux now that popos and cosmic is about to eat their lunch and end their pied piper project from microsoft to sabotage linux.
>>100199130I thought that was typical for linux users. since you know, if you're going to restart it's probably after installing something or messing with configs, so you're probably already in a terminalI'm 50/50 on shutdown though, sometimes I'm too lazy to reach for the mouse so I just pop open a terminal, other times I click the button idk
>>100189468I honestly thought that shit was a volunteer project.
>>100199214What gave you that impression

>>100199239>This issue is getting a bit heated. I recommend slowing downI laugh every time when reading this dipshit's comment holy
>>100199130I usually just do the command since I keep a terminal open on my laptop screen and use an external monitor for everything else. But I use KDE and it also makes you click if you don't wanna wait through the 60 second countdown.

>>100200058>>100199988what the hell is "staff"developers?
>>100200037If they should seek to spend the money wisely rather than constantly expanding or else they might end up like gnome
>>100199161Yeah I thought it was typical too and never even considered the option of a shutdown button in some kind of start menu.>>100199298How can KDE force that? KDE can't stop anything.At least, my system on shutdown sends TERM to all processes and gives the 5 seconds to close themselves, and then sends KILL to whatever is remaining, that's it.
>>100200127I know that money was used to move to a new build system and also fund a few KDE developers.But we need to wait for the 2023 report to be sure.
>>100200037If they need to constantly spend money instantly, they should use the money to train a custom coding AI to help them
>>100200248maybe in a decade but all software dev AI right now is still substandard.They could do it for translation though.Microsoft does it for translation
>>100200272I was mainly thinking of something that could be used to funnel money and also potentially be useful. Training an AI seems perfect for that task
>>100200291you could do that or you could also pay some eastern europeans substandard wages.
>>100189468The entire desktop environment is trash, it doesn't have the customization level of plasma and it feels like a clunky version of IpadOS with the app selector of Android 1.5. Also the guy running the project is a bald ass Italian faggot that don't even listen to complaints or new feature requests, it took 30 years until some rando /g/fag implemented thumbnails in the filepicker. Absolute joke.why the fuck i should donate to these fuckers? even budgie is better and doesn't have wayland compatibility yet.
>>100189468>GNOME is going bankruptWhat they are not telling you now is that donating to the "GNOME Foundation" does NOT mean you are donating to GNOME. The money won't go to the developers of the desktop environment in any way, it will go to people like this >>100189615.
>>10019113440K a year from interest yields alone is not "fuck all". It might be fuck all if you are subhuman cattle who thinks buying an overpriced house in the suburbs of a big US city is a god-given right.
