The title plus the thumbnail makes it looks like a snl sketch, only more ridiculous.

Sorry I am not aware of the incident, do you mind elaborate? Thank you.

I mean, they are not entirely wrong…

Okay my first thought this is Microsoft Windows, and was very confused how people can be seen though a OS. And I later convinced myself maybe this is about Zoom calls.

I feel one of the hardship for Linux to catch on is the lack of commercial interest to make it usable for consumers.

If this problem happened on Windows and macOS, MS and Apple would just send an engineer to spend a week or a day to have it fixed. This change has been in electron for months, and no one bother to fix it.

Same with bugs in chrome and libsecrate, which have been open for 4 freaking years… https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsecret/-/issues/49

It also took chrome half a decade to support text-input-v3: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40113488#comment1, which is added by a third party developer. And it still breaks KDE’s implementate https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492225 …

It is understandable people are frustrated, I am frustrated, and joined several conversation regarding this problem. However, I don’t appreciate some of the rant from many users. This change is certainly out-of-touch, potentially due to them don’t quite foresee the amount of flatpak/kde users who are affected by this change.

But many complaints have been dangerously close to the line, if not over the line. Their quiet month policy is reasonable IMO, developers need breaks, especially those interacts frequently with the community. Love or hate electron (same apply to CEF), these works clearly bring many wonderful apps into the linux world.

I personally don’t believe that non-contributors have the right to demand free work from the electron developers.

LOL I thought you are joking, but it is actually called buttplug gnome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_(sculpture)

Officially the work represents Santa Claus holding a Christmas tree in his hands but the artist has implied that it could also represent a buttplug, and that “…For me, the sculpture is also about the consumer community - as a commentary on material consumption in the Western world.”[3]
