pretty sad to see that absolutely nothing has changed.
- gw99 4y agoNo one fixes the bugs because they’re not interesting. It’s why I’m now a mac user.
- jagged-chisel 4y agoI think “not interesting” is an understatement. Making changes in OS project can be downright abysmal - lack of coherent structure, little to guidance, or even hostility toward contributions… It’s certainly not entirely because of the attractiveness of the problem itself.
- gw99 4y agoYeah I didn’t want to write a couple of pages of rant on here.
- LtWorf 4y agolibinput maintainer refuses patches because he doesn't want more settings to be allowed.
- moffkalast 4y agoNothing says Linux like maintainers of a fragmented ecosystem pointing at each other saying it's not up to them to fix something.
- llimllib 4y agoTo me the interesting/sad bit is that individually, I can see all of their points; the system is set up in such a way that there is nobody whose job it is to cut through the nonsense and keep the user in mind.
