There are a ton of losers on the Fediverse that are online all the time and have nothing better to do than stir up drama.

Linux Mint shipping a GTK3 GNOME Calendar in the base system is not great. It's just going to create a subpar experience for users. Users will miss out on all the design improvements, bug fixes, and features that people like nostr:npub1uvygz6h4e2npz30ey00vdma8jq3q8nn2x5tudmwcyh6u532cfsls5gr55q work on!

Hopefully someday they will get an XApp calendar application.

Anyone working on packaging #ZedEditor on #Fedora?

Today I learned about mandb(1). Apparently you have to run it when new man pages are added or removed. I assume this happens automatically for man pages managed by good package managers like dnf, but when you install pages elsewhere, you are tasked with updating the database yourself. Is there any sort of automation I can add to my workflows for updating the various man page databases that aren't managed by dnf? #Fedora #Linux

Person: responds and blocks

Amazing interaction with a GNOME Foundation Member. This interaction was a violation of the GNOME Code of Conduct by said person. They were not friendly, empathetic, respectful, or considerate, all traits that the GNOME Code of Conduct lists as Community Guidelines.
