Sriram "sri" Ramkrishna - 😼<p>Some people are so entitled. Some person on reddit wanted me to apologize on behalf of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> for all the breakages.</p><p>These folks pay no money for engineering and maintenance work. The maintenance and engineering is significant. All we ask is that you help and sure we are willing to listen but these projects are always resource constrained and we do the best we can.</p><p>I remember the old days when we were just starting out. So many possibilities. Today is meh.</p>

Cassidy James :eos: :gg: :fh:<p>I kind of want to put together a collection of wallpapers that work well with the GNOME/elementary OS light/dark style.

Børge<p>The new <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> background apps feature is nice, except that I still can't turn off the AppIndicator extension, because if I do <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/qBittorrent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qBittorrent</span></a> suddenly has some sort of non-existent window that shows up in Activities and the window switcher, so the feature is actually totally useless for me…?
