Matthew GarrettThe presumption that free software is sufficient or necessary to ensure all software you depend on is trustworthy is simultaneously naive and ignorant of what software is capable of. The only realistic way to develop trust in software is to trust the people who write it, and development processes associated with free software make that trust easier.

☃️karolherbst☃️@dotstdy you really love to trash talk gnome on entirely unrelated occasions, just to trash talk gnome, don't you?
Maybe just stop it already.
@karolherbst it's not specifically a gnome issue, though gnome's phrasing is slightly worse than upstream flatpak.
@dotstdy yeah, but you hate gnome and the reason you brought up gnome here is because you wanted to hate on the project not because of the point you are bringing up here.
@karolherbst is it possible to be normal about software for five minutes without accusing everyone of having some nefarious ulterior motive...
@dotstdy but the accusation is right...
@karolherbst I like lots of stuff about gnome, the design work is broadly very clean and nice in particular. And it has a pretty good degree of consistency across the whole ecosystem. There are things which annoy me, and then there's things like this which are pretty bad. Wcyd it's software.
@dotstdy sometimes it matters more who brings up criticism than the criticism itself in order to judge if it's constructive or just demoralizing people having to read through it.
