oh fuck the gnome devs in particular

they *decide* not to support* a standardized protocol and then make have the gall to say "Anyone who is still shipping broken apps after all those years will have to live with their apps looking broken."

YOU ARE THE ONES SHIPPING A BROKEN APP BY UNILATERALLY DECIDING THAT THIS WIDELY USED FEATURE IS NOT WORTH CONSIDERING

*the question was "would it be alright to open an issue if a maintainer decides to implement it?"

and the answer was basically "no, fuck off"

@spacekatia what feature did they decide to break?

@h @spacekatia server side decorations on wayland I think

@noisytoot @h window icons (as opposed to appicons) for software that isn't explicitly defined in a desktop file

@noisytoot @h specifically they're not implementing the xdg_toplevel_icon_v1 protocol

@spacekatia @h I didn't even know about that one

@spacekatia The day I gave up on GNOME and decided to be a KDE girl my blood pressure and stress permanently went down 😅

@kookie i have never come across this level of snobbishness and self-importance anywhere near kde and every time i use KDE i have a super chill time

but unfortunately there a few fundamentals that i think gnome just does better and i keep coming back to it ._.

also KDE just gets *really* unstable after a while for me (why do items on my taskbar keep occasionally switching places and why does my entire DE crash when i try to swap them back o.o?)

@kookie maybe i should try not having a DE

@spacekatia @kookie maybe just no puter toucing to keep the morale high.

@nachtpfoetchen @kookie i was doing some research on replacing my broken phone and thought "I really should do this on my laptop, it'll be easier there - but maybe not using my phone in favour of my puter will make getting things done easier in general"

but no, mood instantly ruined by a little error message i decided to follow up ._.

@spacekatia @nachtpfoetchen Instead of touching computer directly you should touch a girl who touches computer for you :p
