It is not just technology, see the addition by Aaron Seigo at http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/more-on-why-display-serve... . I also wrote a blogpost about it: http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters&#x2F

You started comparing Brendan with Obama. If someone says it is different, you're complaining about "nice attempt to shift the goal posts". Kind of easy answer.

In the blogpost referenced here as well as another blogpost, OpenBSD and FreeBSD developers appreciate the work that Ryan has been doing. Calling everything "crap" is a bit easy. What I did learn (since today) is that we were wait

Did you actually read the blog post? It seems like you didn't. Did you also read https://wiki.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/WhatWeRelease ? Do you understand what I mean with main focus? It means we try to ensure that

I get the impression that you think I am trying to argue, if so: it is not the case, I'm trying to understand and at the same time to explain. I often explain the same thing various times because I follow lots of mailing list and try t

I actually meant the people helping out at GNOME. So the developers, translators, etc. If everyone helping out in GNOME, then I find it logical that the focus is mainly on Linux.

I think you skipped over the bit where I explained things. E.g. you're saying "rely on systemd", while I already mentioned we rely on dbus interfaces. However, there is only sort of 1 implementation (other is a fork), so noth

I gave an explanation on how things are, it was not a rant. I don't understand how you could see it as a rant. Regarding your question: GNOME does a lot of infrastructural work (freedesktop.org, and other things). A lot of the times th

Systemd provides a replacement for things like ConsoleKit. It further makes various things much simpler for GNOME. It provides dbus interfaces. We're not forcing, it is that we do like to share the amount of work a slight bit. Meaning:

It does not predate gnome-shell. They were first to call it stable, while GNOME shell was way more stable when we called it stable. You should check the first commits, not when something is released as 1.0. The latter is up to the maintaine

Indeed, the law he's referring to applies to everyone. Expat or not. He later on clarifies that it solely applies to Booking.com. This kind of emotional writing I can do without. It is way too easy to assume he's talking about all

Not to be harsh, but in my first responder as well as my first aid training the first thing is "check for your own safety". If unsafe, then be as selfish as you can. If I was in a helpless situation, I hope I don't still try

I mean a legal opinion on this matter. Pointing to a random distribution is not enough. They might be doing something that they shouldn't have. Try to be concrete, just "FUD FUD FUD" is not impressive as an answer.

I suggest investigating systemd then. It isn't bloated. See for instance http://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2013/06/09/systemd-bloa... . There are a lot of different parts to it. Note the time of t

Within GNOME there is pretty complete financial transparency. There only a few who go over the numbers. I believe in "trust, but verify", though I don't check anything at all. I do see one or two people checking the financial

I find it equally annoying to request for money, but not be transparent about it. Equally annoying is that when a request is made, you're considered an annoyance. Deliver an OS has no relation to financial capabilities.
