Debian users are older and more tech savvy so I guess they know that sending bug reports is unproductive while Mint users aren't aware of their distro's release scheme.

So Mint uses the Gnome Calendar App from Debian plus some minor tweaks that are not a problem, but because Mint users submit bug reports its Mint's fault and responsibility and not Debian's? And the Gnome devs are literally going "shame on you" for pointing out this fact, while being fairly antagonistic. I get why it may be annoying to get bug reports for issues you already fixed, but do they actually have any authority to demand this? Or are they being cunts because they can't force him to fix it and want him to.

The GNOME shitters are being cunts, but that's their natural state of being. They can do a trademark lawsuit just like Mozilla did to Debian 20 years ago and force them to make Icecalendarweaselfox or whatever. And RedHatIBM will do that.
The Mint guys are in the right but it's a pointless fight that's been had hundreds of times now. To make GNOME happy and not mess with branding patches Mint has to ship the latest GNOME the day it releases and deal with the onslaught of bug reports when they break everything. And probably do upgrade treadmill for libc too so the whole desktop will fall apart every month like it does in Arch and Gentoo.
There's really two desktop class Linuxes now

both gnome devs and gnome haters invent some imaginary person in their head that would actually use GNOME but in reality it's just shit. Steve Jobs could be opinionated because early macintosh, NeXTStep and early OS X were actually good and he had the manpower smart enough to understand it. Even tim cook wouldn't dare be as arrogant as that because he knows he's not that smart and neither are his current employees. Gnome has 5X the arrogance of Steve Jobs with nothing to show for it.

I really get my rocks off on this shit. You'd think after 20 years people would realize whatever version gets packaged into a distro becomes an LTS branch, whether the author likes it or not. Maybe with LLMslop agentic code monkey generation they'll finally learn how to fucking backport.

The "debian way" is the most unstable piece of shit i ever ran. Yes if your system NEVER changes and NEVER needs new updates, that's brilliant! But if you do have to get a newer release of something that is only in sid or whatever, 50% chance something just fucking breaks. And if you actually want to system upgrade eventually, in my own experience that's a 100% chance everything breaks, because it happened twice to me before i went to NixOS and never looked back.
>>
>>108793739
You basically just queue up all of your system maintenance rather than dealing with it piecemeal like in a rolling release.
I think it's stupid. I would rather look at a single line config change once every couple of months or so than have my whole system go down every couple of years and have to change those config lines anyway. All I would get for dealing with that system breakdown is being on old versions of packages.
It's not incompatible with modern Linux but rather incompatible with good common sense.

>But if you do have to get a newer release of something that is only in sid or whatever, 50% chance something just fucking breaks
This is true, but don't pull down from sid ever, it's not for that. You need to be completely out of tree when you go off the reservation in Debian. For me, that's meant ./configure && make && checkinstall / make install with all the compile time dependencies built as well.
>And if you actually want to system upgrade eventually, in my own experience that's a 100% chance everything breaks
Debian used to be better at a stable release to stable release upgrade running without breakages. But I just had some stupid package conflict on the bookworm to trixie upgrade that took out practically everything except coreutils, bash and the kernel. If memory serves it was because steam (from contrib but within the distro repos) pulls in i386 builds and one of the i386 libraries didn't have an upgrade path apt could figure out so I had half on the libc6 and half on the new and everything got stuck. I had to rescue apt from a TTY after it uninstalled everything and eventually, figured out it had to uninstall steam around the time it took out X11 and also the printer drivers.
So fucking stupid.

GNOME devs are entitled and whining per usual.

Mint's dev made a little fix for an older version, which in Gnome's dev mind is a fork, ergo the patching responsability falls under Mint and that the software shouldn't have Gnome branding.
The whole thing is that Gnome doesn't want Mint to package old software but they're being really roundabout about it as Mint said they wouldn't package newer releases, so they're trying to berate them by saying that it's their responsability.

Still comes back to being the fault of Debian and Ubuntu LTS since Mint is just a fork. Mint is popular, but still a pretty small distro. Basically, rather than dealing with the problem directly, they just want to play wack-a-mole and make the forks deal with it.

yep gnomecucks pick their battles strategically
if they tried to challenge canonical they would get raped or worse (from their view) have all their packages stripped from ubuntu entirely and crater the userbase

KDE packages on Debian are garbage because the fucking troons at Debian kicked out their KDE maintainer while calling him a nazi and were never able to replace him.

Gnomecucks regularly rant about Ubuntus default installed Gnome extensions, but they never actually go there and demand something.

I think it's NetBSD and yeah FreeBSD isn't a conservative (in the traditional sense) distro that'll avoid Rust forever. OpenBSD is basically what people want ideologically, but it's conservative to a fault (for desktop use) and requires effort to use and experience to appreciate.
In theory people could fork Linux just to remove Rust, but I don't know if that's actually a big enough concern to warrant the effort. I know 'just fork it bro' gets tiresome after a while, but at a certain point you have to actually put in some effort rather than hopping around hoping for a pre-made perfect solution.

Nobody should use Poetteringware anyway, so every version of GNOME is shit. It was shit back in the 2.X days already.
But if these green users are going to take the GNOME foot up their ass the distro is screwed because keeping GNOME calendar recent would mean riding the latest bleeding edge GNOME and Weston builds and then that's going to drag the rest of userland and the kernel with it.

Cinnamon IS "their own stuff," they started it more than a decade ago as a fork of Gnome 3, so GTK was a no brainer. Pivoting from that would be too much work.
As for why they don't offer KDE, I have no idea, but people like Cinnamon. Also it would have the same issue of outdated versions as Gnome, so not really a solution.

Most of their problems really are because of fat, pube-faced retards not backporting any of their changes, and simply demanding the world change to fit them.

And you know what? It works. Most distros are more than happy to bend over backwards to accommodate anything GNOME does. They destroyed the xlibre guy's life because he wasn't doing the same for them, and then banned everyone against age verification because they weren't going along with their schemes. They hate Mint because he's the one guy they can't cancel through sheer corporate brute force, and his distro is relatively popular while still using their software.

At one time, not too long ago, GTK's strength was that you didn't NEED to be associated with the politics of the GNOME project or any of its developers. It had as much association with GNOME as a project as Oxford the paper company does to what you write in a notebook. GTK was just a blank canvas for making GUI components, nothing more.

All of this shit with "DO AS I SAY" GNOME politics and "If you use GTK as a dependency then we own your whole project and can tell you what to do and what you think" is a new development from the last 10 years or so. NOBODY would have been using GTK if this was how they acted during the dawn of all the forks from GNOME and KDE. Now they're stuck because they ultimately are beholding to the GNOME devs to keep GTK running, which means they have to listen to mental midgets demanding shit like "YOU CHANGED THE FONT ON OUR GLORIOUS TITLE BAR? THIS IS A FORK!!!!!"

>>108796419
> Mint has by far the most desktop users.
The only reason this is getting reported as a bug is because Mint has the most desktop users. The other distros have an irrelevant market share and they likely use corporate software that has their own built-in versions of a calendar like Outlook.

Mint's crime is that it's used by people who are forced to interact with shitty fucking GNOME software that continues to have 20 year old bugs and punish anyone who fixes them.

So Mint makes a patch (PERFECTLY LEGAL BY THEIR OWN RULES BTW) and GNOME devs go "REEE, REEEEEE STOP MAKING OUR SOFTWARE BETTER!!!!"

> You need to remove old versions of GNOME apps from Linux Mint or fork them with a rebrand, you should also add them to the denylist to prevent their download. Your Linux Mint users bug report too much, and it is too much work for us to add a filter for old versions in our bug report form.

I think it's just indian behavior. they are used to telling lesser castes to do something, and they're legally and spiritually required to do it. The idea that this could cut both ways if nobody recognizes them as spiritually superior is incompatible with their species.

The calendar this guy is throwing himself on to protect its sanctity actually fucking sucks as a product, most components of GNOME do.

I have not found a good calendar app for Linux that does everything locally. Very few even support drag and drop, even fewer support linking files or even internet links. Almost none allow setting all of these at once, and none of them allow syncing with a file or exporting to some sane format like csv or excel, much less a database.

I gave up entirely and just have a physical planner. Just a common GNOME-fuckup™ in a series of Open Source fails.

the bugfix is a wedge issue so they can reduce support burden as they have no other cudgel with which to bludgeon mint users who they perceive as annoying noobs

Being fair: Arch on the other end can break just as easily being rolling release. Right now I'm basically waiting for "lib32-libelf 0.195" to hit the main branch since apparently lib32 (forgetting the specific dependency) was on 0.194 and was "needed" since 0.195 in pacman was only in the "testing" branch of extra and core despite the fact MY (computer/user) pacman WAS NOT in testing for either branch.

Ironically enough as I'm writing this, pacman -syu now doesn't bitch about that because they finally pushed 0.195 to main after like 6 hours.

ANYWAY, point is: Package maintainers being split across three main application systems (apt[-get], rpm, pacman) is stupid and this problem would be resolved if there was one universal package system to where rolling release could be "sid" (so to speak)/testing and the stable branch is an "old" (last Toy Story name for Debian, not current one, I guess?) branch while partial upgrades that would bitch about a possible incompatibility if not properly tested would be a middle ground or something.

ANYWAY, rant point is: both sides have their issues. Rolling just fixes some of these issues a bit sooner and Debian's "stability" hurts it because they don't bother having a sort-of-middle ground between "sid"/testing and stable.

arch breaking can be annoying but it's inherently less annoying because rolling release is up front about the risks and the distro jannies try to make the process smoother for end users. you will run into a lot of speed bumps but most of them are trivial as long as you check the front page now and then (this is very easy to script).

a universal package system isn't really workable anyhow since different people have different needs and opinions. the way arch does packaging would be pants on head retarded in an enterprise environment but is great for home PCs for example, i'm not using fucking dpkg unless i'm getting paid to

The "we just don't care about politics and allow everyone" projects were the first to get hijacked by troons. They are highly vulnerable. Mint probably fairs well because they are a protest distro that forked Gnome 3, while still being downstream of gtk.

The problem is that they are tolerable towards people who want to change them.
When you are hard non-politicial and someone comes around with the explicit goal to make you political... should you accept them?
The Gnometard opened the issue in bad faith. He was never interested in an actual solution. Yet they spent time talking to him and assumed good faith where there is none.
If Linux Mint would do the right thing, this Gnometard wouldn't have been able to open this issue. They would have shown him the door.

And there are projects that do this. I have seen it plenty of times, mostly with applications developed from one or two people. Get idiotic tranny issue -> close it as offtopic and never even discuss it.

But hey, lets assume good faith and pretend that it is actually an issue, so....
>we got it upstream from Debian, tell them
>tranny specifically and explicitly doesn't want it resolved upstream, he only picks Mint
Again: Should have stopped it right there. Obviously the troon isn't interested in a solution, give him a link to the Debian bugtracker, issue closed.
But alright, lets keep assuming good faith as the good non-political people we are!
>troon claims that Debian users don't do this, yet, a search for "debian" on their issue tracker reveals TWICE as many bug reports as for "mint"
He is LITERALLY FUCKING LYING IN YOUR FACE.

>troon says it is your responsibility to communicate with Debian, not his
>troon says that he gets contacted on Matrix a lot about it. But Matrix isn't even linked in the App, which is what he complains about.
Now that the troon let it slip that it is about controlling the distribution, and not about the links at all. Now you close it with "you chose the wrong license, you want to be proprietary".

nta, but they get that impression because packages in the Debian "stable" repository are often times very unstable.
If they would freeze packages at a specific point in time, to the last available stable versions, and then keep those for a release cycle, that would be great.
But Debian doesn't do that. Here is an example of a package unusable in Debian:
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=rssguard

Debian bookworm, trixie and forky are at the exact same version 4.0.4 for RSSGuard.
4.0.4 is from five years ago. At the time of the release of trixie, it was at 4.8.6, yet trixie shipped with the same 4.0.4 that bookworm shipped.

And i know why: Because its package maintainer left Debian and nobody picked up the torch. It is the same one who maintained KDE packages.
So Debian ends up with abandoned packages in the repository. And they keep dragging those along for multiple release cycles.
IF Debian would be interested in only providing stable packages, they would throw those out. If you can't ship a stable version, because you kicked out your maintainers, don't ship it at all. If you install something from the debian stable repository, there is a good chance that you install one or the other package that simply is not being maintained at all.

Not at all. The "stable" in debian has always meant "doesn't change" and not "doesn't break". Specifically it meant that sysadmins would create a patch against known breakage in debian, and debian would not fix the bug so the patch would keep working for a long time.

For the most part, Stable = Predictable behavior, yes. A byproduct of this is significantly less breakage than a system that sees drastic changes periodically or sporadically.

Except in "recent" years (i.e. post-2013), that has never been the case. Ubuntu and OpenSuSE used to be FAR more stable than debian in day-to-day use in the sense of "things don't break". Partly this is because bugs tend to be fixed as versions progress. But also, debian used to issue really bad patches to a few software.

Thunderbird works beautifully with local and remote calendars, and Orage handles local calendar perfectly. Both support exporting and importing to/from common formats, and are quite reliable. GNOME Calendar is mostly geared toward handling calendars from online accounts (e.g. Google and WebDAV sources), and is fine for those purposes, but lacking in other areas.

Such a ridiculous sentence. Or maybe you don't know what "underdog" means. They are janissaries.
Since you probably don't know what that is either, muslim arabs would kidnap and enslave white christian boys, brainwash them and convert them to islam, forced celibacy and castration. They were then used as the closest guard and elite soldiers. The alienation from family, celibacy/castration and brainwashing made them very complacent, loyal to the empire and sadistic toward their former countrymen. There's no saving them because they have not only been brainwashed, they have been maimed, and they will always die for the system because that's the only power they can ever have now.

Well has Lunduke been caught lying before? You can disagree with his stances or beliefs, but I think most of what he reports on is literally something that has happened or is happening.

Very interesting. He born '84, this document is from 2013, so he was 29 then. Why are they talking about juvenile? Because supposedly he was 12-16 when he molested (both) and raped (one) his sister(s) (at the time 8-12).

However this was known by the parents and allowed to continue. It was a very abusive childhood in many ways, with them being beaten by the father.

Now 13 years later the sisters gang up and decided to press charges. Against the dad the beat them and enabled the molestation? No. Against the complacent mother? No. Against the underage brother. Frankly this is a case of a pervert in his early teens enabled by a abusive household. Better than being a gnome dev

He had a girlfriend and was about to have children and the victims talked about it with each other, told each other what they experienced, got some other people involved to talk about it and decided that it should not be possible for the monster to do to those children what he did to them.

No you're right, combine this with awful performance and the fact the people who wrote it apparently only ever use Touchscreens, and it becomes a question of why anyone would willingly use GNOME.

What you want to look for is whether or not a company offers "Confirmed Stateside Support", "ITAR-compliance" or similar, and from where they offer this.

Those are a part of glowfag required clearance.
It guarantees that when you make a business with a three-letter agency or military, everything involved is and stays within the USA between people with clearances.
Feds need this.
In example: RedHat maintains the NSA servers on which they run PRISM and all that other stuff Snowden revealed.
https://access.redhat.com/articles/3375791
And pic related is Canonical advertising ITAR compliance, which is strictly for the military.

They openly admit it, they just word it nicely. Instead of:

And i think the only reason why Canonical bent the knee to Lunduke and kicked out the child rapist, was because Jeremy Bicha became worthless.

The laws about registered sexual predators in Florida are super strict.

>if he doesn't report his status himself, and some other person knows about it, and this other person isn't reporting him to the police, this other person is liable as well!
If you have people from the outside know about this and following Jeremy Bicha around... he can't do shit!
At some point he WILL mess up and he WILL fail to report himself, and someone of his new internet friends WILL watch him and report him.
How is this guy going to continue working for Canonical? He became a never-ending liability to them.

Think about the vax mandate for feds and fed-contractors they had during CoViD.
Suddenly a sizeable amount of the US population had to either get vaxxed or get fired. Even when they were working for "private companies", because those "private companies" were just downstream of feds.

Civil aerospace was implied, but I guess I shouldn't have expected you to have enough intelligence to infer that much. The problem is that you want to live in your constructed narrative, where you've uncovered all the deepest truths, instead of recognizing that reality is already bleak. Since you live in your own fantasy, you are incapable of understanding the nuance and complexity that exists in a world of 8 billion people, or even just a country of over 300 million people. There are niches within the industry that don't necessitate military contracts. If you want to play the game of "oh, but you contract with entities that also contract with the military", you will be very hard pressed to find any company in America that isn't separated by 2 degrees from the MIC.

I stopped using Gentoo in... 2018? A bit earlier? Because it became an unstable mess due to trannies taking over. Before then it was possible to setup your useflags however you liked and you didn't have to update every 3 days or risk needing to nuke the entire system to change a single package. After trannies, it became totally unusable. They also kept removing package features without documenting it, and when asked about it, they'd say "I don't use it so you shouldn't either". People would point out USE flags exist for a reason and they'd get super pissed of course.
Trannies aside, I have never once seen anything even remotely resembling a white nat or nazi anywhere near gentoo channels.

This is what they view as "Progress". To them, you're the white supremacist loser because you stopped using it, and will always be lumped in with the Nazis because of that. They also believe that all of them went to an ubuntu fork like Linux Mint because the boogeyman must never actually die, it must only change forms to their next convenient target.

>People would point out USE flags exist for a reason and they'd get super pissed of course.
>Trannies aside, I have never once seen anything even remotely resembling a white nat or nazi anywhere near gentoo channels.
And now, the justification is literally "Only Nazis used the USE flags". With all tranny-controlled spaces, it doesn't matter if actual nazis or white supremacists exist, only that the illusion of them existing does. From now until forever, the fact the Trannies CoC'd their way into the project and ruined everything won't be known as the reason Gentoo became unstable, but because the Nazis abandoned it after the creators got sick of it being "The Nazi Bar" (this is the justification to ruin everything, every project, btw).

As you surely know by now, trannies don't like to hide their "status" so it was easier to find that out than to find out if there was any plan to make things more stable and stop random reorgs every 5 seconds.

>In this case, Linux Mint is leeching off of Debian
Really goes to show you what kind of a mindset faggot tranny GNOME devs have when they consider a downstream/derivative open source project (which is, you know, part of the spirit of FOSS in the first place) to be "leeching".

Kek, reading this is a trip. My favorite is this:
>I'm not sure I'm convinced by arguments about "discrimination". no attacks against any *people* were made, either by the software upstream or by Gentoo packaging it. And one is of course free to not use it.
Discrimination is actually Ok because they did the 4chan thing of putting """"""""""""""""People"""""""""""""""" in quotes

It really shows you how important those "nazis" actually are. We are talking about a decade here. All those years and they are still not able to find and non-nazi to produce the same quality. The timeframe is so large, if they would have chosen a 8yo child to train for the position, it would be grown up and ready now.

It does because society is done tolerating their bs. But also libs are doubly indefensible in tech because they have institutional power. Defending them is like defending Elon Musk because you really like Grok and dogecoin.

Lunduke does this jewish thing though where he pretends to be moderate then proceeds to out the wrong people on behalf of our community.

We're past "lets just forget our differences and enjoy tech", I want open source options that aren't owned by people who want me dead. Either they have to be removed from their positions or we need to develop something to their exclusion.
