S76 already stated that maintaining the tiling extension for gnome was more effort then it was worth

Gnome upstream is notoriously hard to work with and will insult it's users and make up bogus reasons to reject perfectly good feature requests and bugreports.

Gnome is slow as balls. On low end hardware gnome bloody chugs compared to KDE let alone the "light weight" DEs.

Gnome is insanely slow to implement many features.

Gnome is hostile to working with upstream wayland protocols like window decore.

S76 want's their desktop to look and work a certain way, and making gnome look/work like that is difficult especially when upstream is not prepared to play ball.

Gnome devs have insulted S76 devs in public forums, have complained about S76 not funding gnome's A11y efforts despite S76 donating quite a lot to gnome over the course of 5 years, $100'000 https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/xwtns5/does_it_seem_like_gnome_wants_system_76s_cosmic/ira4e8o/

Personally, not needing to deal with gnome developers alone is a feature. Rust is just a tool which makes developing your own DE, compositor included, very easy.

It wasn't open source, but it also wasn't against TOS. All it really was is a custom environment that builds RPCS3 in.

I'm not sure if it was a termux like environment or a proot, but it was termux X11 fork.

Love sherpa, I use it a lot, however I am not sure this is what they wanted. I think they wanted an application that can reliably invoke the TTS engine?

why is this piracy? IS this something you traditionally need to pay for?

Hope to see this on as many devices as possible so we finally get usable JXL support when using https://github.com/IacobIonut01/Gallery

when does apple turn around and just stop selling in the EU?

It would be nice if torrent clients included I2P support by default without the need for auxiliary tools. that being said, I don't really know enough about i2p to understand the actual privacy benefits of it or viability of something like this

they had some genuinely great talents but literally everyone seems to have hated it, and they had what, 2 active streamers?

no idea how this community takes to discussing PLs, but in general, as far as I can tell, all of the the ex talents have gone out to greener pastures successfully. The only good thing they did was springboard talents.
