​izzy<p>hot take, I feel xorg is here to stay despite its supposed technical flaws. i don't buy the propoganda that FDO is trying to "kill" it. they still maintain it, albeit with no new features, plenty of projects such as xenocara work with them and upstream fixes as need be. also, x11 is pretty dang featureful as it is tbh. besides, that enrico weigelt guy is certainly not "saving" anything considering his development track record.</p><p><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/xlibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xlibre</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xorg</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openbsd</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/xenocara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xenocara</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/freedesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedesktop</span></a></p>

#PetPeeve: I hate that "Music" is one of the standard home folders on desktop computers. I love music, but I want it to be "Audio" -- not all audio is music (plus "audio" pairs better with "video"). When was this default established, in #MacOS X 10.0, #WinNT, earlier? (I think NextStep or BeOS might have had a "Sounds" folder.) Now, seemingly every #desktop uses this default: #Windows, #Mac, #FreeDesktop environments (#GNOME, #KDE), are there any exceptions? Like the #DesktopMetaphor itself, we're stuck with it, even though it chafes.

Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle" movie is a great metaphor for "FLOSS middleware & apps" software development communities sometimes, especially the amount of animosity #GNOME developers have to cope with.

In this scene we see:

1. A crowd of users complain, the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates
2. Upstream dev tells them to shut up & send a MR
3. Two distro packagers try to "fix" the issue in their corner
