Sorry, but why this is so funny?

Because it’s 2023 and we can’t get basic UI that works properly?

  Crashing is funny. In this case, it's hopefully because of the thing it toggled and not the UI. (I was toggling "allow overamplification" in the sound settings). Maybe this is the relevant line of the crash log: Object Gio.DBusProxy (0x55e4d0f30a90), has been already deallocated

    Sure sounds like a race. Building race-free software is hard, disciplined work, and may require blocking proposals for "hot" new features. So the cooler heads tend to lose those skirmishes, on either a FOSS or commercial battleground.

    Have you reported that as a bug?

  Microwave ovens agree with you

    The 1 button instantly starting the microwave for 1 minute annoys me often. I want to set the timer for 15 seconds so I can walk away. For 1 minute, double-tapping the 30s button is sufficient. The real annoyance, though, is that pressing cancel/off does absolutely nothing if the microwave is being used as a timer (without the microwave itself running). When the timer beeps, my first thought is to press cancel/off. Then press it again a few times, because it's still beeping. Then I remember that there's a dedicated button (somewhere in the middle of the panel, labeled with small text) to cancel the timer.

Well, they took 42 versions to fuck up basic shit, it is hilariously incompetent

  Naw I wanted to share this without it turning into that kind of mudslinging. Something about desktops that never get complaints vs desktops that people actually use.

    I think people have far more complaints about Gnome than Mac and far more people use the latter.

because endless years are going into a fundamentally subpar system (GTK written in C and JS, because gnome devs were not edgy enough with just C, and they are obviously too cool for TS)

  Typescript and Rust didn't exist in the late 90s when GNOME was created.

    Gnome continues to be created even today with C and JS. After a few years of Windows, this week I installed Ubuntu again, and it's full of crazy bugs. Though no crashes yet! So at least they improved on that a lot.
