    Even if they wanted to, it would take 19 years till someone gets around to changing the license.

      So that people can’t easily track how much time is spent on getting round window corners compared to how much time is spent not implementing thumbnails in a file chooser dialog?

      18 years, by the way.

        I, just 10 minutes ago, was looking for an artwork of mine to upload here on lemmy. I gave up. It’s beyond insane to not have a thumb nail option in the browser for a file upload.

    But closed source projects still get bug reports. The users just can’t fix it themselves. So where’s the advantage?

      Accountability. The Dev is wishing others couldn’t see the backlog and their decision process publicly.

    @fafok20662 @linux Not as long as it’s constrained by an open source license, but it’s likely going to follow the sqlite model where you take it or leave it, with no feedback. Except it won’t be as high quality and alternative-less as sqlite.

      Major shoutout to sqlite here.

      Fantastic program, probably better because it is helmed by a dev with ridiculously high standards who doesn’t compromise with what others want.

    No problem someone will take the last open version and call is OGNOME and continue building it and everyone in the Linux community will use the open fork and gnome will die. So i hardly think so!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
