GNOME highlights most of the worst possible characteristics open source has, especially their last 15 years. Narcissism, opaque decisions, politics, virtue signaling, 4chan obsession, and toxic behavior describe just the past few months of

It depends on how you define supply chain attacks. Recently, there was an exploit discovered in an abandoned Rust package that was used by many other Rust projects, many unaware of it due to the sheer number of dependencies. Whether by negl

Inviting rank amateurs to established projects while expecting them to operate as free labor in the hopes of future relevance for employment has a distinctly different feel. Missives like the OP feel like preying on a desperate and young ge

Inviting inexperienced amateurs to wide-reaching projects does not seem to be a prudent recipe. Nay, it is a recipe for disaster.

Focus on a language that isn't a moving target, sir. And this argument about "young" contributors is the same nonsense that came from your senior management. But you're independent. Aren't the experienced engineers

This is the same maintainer who broke KeePass on Debian and then flipped off everyone in the thread. Someone needs to pull him aside and let him know the world does not revolve around him and the problems he chooses to manufacture to justif

Everything about cxx-qt is wrong. The Rust ecosystem deserves better. Not QML. Not any markup-like things like Slint. No immediate mode. And definitely not GTK. So much wasted potential.

> There is a usable port of Linux to Apple hardware now This has never been true since inception, depending on your definition of usable. Worse yet, the entire project was staffed by people with poor mental health seeking attention for u

This reminds me that the Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3) like the Zig Software Foundation. To me, the Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances.

This is one person's career move that is defended by the idea that they somehow always make good bets. This is more than a bit arrogant. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. I don't see a future for this. I see a se
