Crappy GNOME trash

Posted on 2009-08-31 • (2)

Even if a file with the same name and location gets trashed many times, each subsequent trashing must not overwrite a previous copy.

So what is this holy shit called GNOME doing? Originally, I expected those FreeDesktop people still don’t get it after the other most widely used OS have done that 12 years ago (maybe even longer), but it looks like the wrong people have been blamed all along. So lucky it’s not written down till now.

Even FreeDesktop Trash specification has the statement stressed in italic letters, yet GNOME freetards in their infinite wisdom are not follow it! Good job! Looking at how GNOME had implemented previous trash can (which was just yet another directory — an excellent topic for jokes), I didn’t expect much would be done in foreseeable future though.

    So, um, link to your bug report. The real legacy of “Linux Haters” and friends isn’t the cheap jibes or the technical insight, but the impression that publishing loud negative blog posts like this one makes you cool. Needless to say, your toxic opinions are likely to be ignored by the Gnome developers, making your claims about their incompetence and indifference self-fulfilling.

      1. I’ll never ever file bug report against GNOME again. I have already ceased any involvement in GNOME development. Ignored by GNOME developers? So be it. I don’t care.
      2. I really hate fanboys like you who tries to pretend no problem exists until bug reports are filed. Oh yes, sorry that I forgot sometimes problem doesn’t exist even if bug reports are filed. Ignore problems for, eh, 5 years, then mark them as OLD, so they automatically don’t exist, right?
      3. Probably fanboys like you are even more toxic for the healthy development of Linux or whatsoever. It’s SO common for anybody not agreeing to the fanboys invariantly declared as toxic.

      It’s exactly because of these big egos of fanboys and I-am-god developers alike that allows me to discover the reason of failures of this free software / open source community thing. Knowing you is one of the biggest mistakes in my life.
