There have been a few criticism on the structure of my latest article (https://theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2023/03/24/how-to-propose-features-to-gnome.html). Some have pointed out that the "What is GNOME’s Philosophy?" section is too long and in some ways off-topic.They recommended that I should separate them into two articles instead, to make them shorter and easier to read.I'm starting a poll to see what I should do. What do y'all think?(Edit: Please do note that higher vote will not reflect my decision.)

(Read thread for context)Hmm... I imagine that separating those sections into articles would benefit search engine optimization, and might rank higher, when searching for the GNOME philosophy. Searching "What is the GNOME philosophy" or "What is GNOME's philosophy" in a private Firefox window gets a ridiculous answer from Google (website: https://linuxreviews.org/GNOME):

(Read thread for context)Okay, I've come to a conclusion. I'll split both sections into articles and hopefully have the GNOME philosophy article show up on Google. Thanks everyone for voting ^^

[Not April Fools](Read thread for context)I'll split the sections tomorrow. Posting a serious article on April 1st might give the impression that it's satirical. Just to be clear, I have no intention in shitposting on my blog; it's meant to be strictly for educational purposes. I'll take the opportunity to edit parts of the article to clarify and add some things, because I have more room to write.

Ever wondered how the #GTK4 file picker looks without #libadwaita? Take a look at Transmission. Click on the Open button and it should open the GTK4 file picker without libadwaita.- https://beta.flathub.org/apps/com.transmissionbt.Transmission#GNOME

Shout out to nano devs for protecting user freedom: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2023-04/msg00003.htmlTL;DR: an Apple dev (not on the behalf of Apple) asked nano to relicense the code to a permissive license to pre-install it in macOS. The nano devs politely refused and stated that they'll stick with GPLI'm a strong supporter of protecting user freedom and openness, as I'm no fan closed-source software. Permissive licenses often enable entities to use these software to exploit users and it disgusts me.Huge GPL W

@voltrina no, they use pico instead. macOS used to ship bash, but swapped it with zsh, because zsh is under MIT and bash is under GPLv3

If you couldn't tell, I dislike permissive licenses. I would prefer to use weak copyleft licenses over them.This also worries me when I hear about Rust rewrites. I'm a huge supporter of rewriting programs in Rust for increased security, but these rewrites are often licensed under some permissive license. GNU coreutils is under the GPLv3, but uutils coreutils (Rust rewrite) under MIT. Nothing fundamentally wrong with the project, though, to be clear

As of today, I'm finally free of #GNOME extensions! The last extension I depended on was #GSConnect, but I replaced it with #Valent. Thanks @andyholmes :)https://valent.andyholmes.ca
