Oh the strategy was there since the premises of Gnome 3. One size fits all, tv-desktop-tablet-phone are all the same. RH even hired UI/UX designers to push this agenda. Unsurprisingly, it failed. It then became "all about keyboard

"ideally the file chooser should become part of GNOME’s core rather than part of GTK" .. Stop destroying GTK for F.... sakes !!! ¬¬

Oh ok, so people don't make the difference between a mobile phone and a computer. That is also why they don't know how to use a TV because it's not like a smartphone, right ? That was a very bad idea from the very start. But

The "we don't have that data any more" should only apply to "I closed my account" not to the "we unilaterally chose to close you're account and delete all your data just because we can". And if they j

They must adapt. Period. And don't worry, when they have to, they do find solutions. The thing is, with open source, you don't have to, worse, the vast majority of enterprises rely because you don't need to make any effort.

And what about the visually impaired ? You add a soundtrack ? So basically a video. Of course the a transcript is available, right ? So instead of going full circle, how about a good old text in the first place ?

It really depends what you call a language. I find it interesting how developers can be to 3 different things with the word language : the actual language, the language + standard library or even the language + standard + ecosystem. So a

Recently they also changed the urlbar to do a search when you type anything... even localhost. INFURIATING. To stay polite. Messed with about:config but did not find a way to disable that crap. So Chrome and FF are in the same boat: "U

But "buy with Paypal" is not the same as "Buy on Amazon", there is a wide gap to make that a reality. Just buying Pinterest itself not enough.
