Try it again without a third-party UI and watch what happens... If you're using a third-party UI your experiences with it are no longer valid. If you're happy with it that's great, and wanting others to know about it so they can be as well is awesome, but you're enabling Microsoft to pull this kind of shit.
The only Ubuntu announcement that I would be interested in is if they decide to use MATE, Cinnamon, XFCE, or KDE for their desktop, and throw vanilla GNOME 3 and Unity in the trash.
Unlikely to happen.
Do you really think that's OK? It is not acceptable that such a thing is required to get basic functionality from your OS.
Imagine the uproar if Canonical removed everything except Unity from their repositories. Would you think that was OK? Sure, you could easily add a third-party repository (eg, getdeb) and get your goodies back, but you should not have to do that and that is the problem.
GCC: GNU Cupcake Cooker?
When you posted that, was the reference not already in the summary? Because it is now, and it makes you look incredibly lame
I wasn't talking about moderations.
No, they have been telling the truth. They store a picture until the recipient opens it. They have to, how else could they send the picture to the recipient?
Gee, maybe they could encrypt it and just fucking send it?
Oh, right. Even something "simple" like PGP is beyond users at large. Shameful.
Who the fuck is Emmanual Assange?
You joke, but the first place I saw that happen was in GNOME. Personally I would prefer the application name to be central with the description subdued (basically reverse of how they have it in MATE, which is the limit of my current GNOME experience).
Whichever way it's done, I will say it's better than just the application name. Even better though, the files that govern what is displayed are easily (and very often are) internationalized. Eg, when you have your language set in English VLC might say "Media Player" but if you select Esperanto it might say "amaskomunikiloj ludanto" or whatever (google translate, there) - meanwhile "VLC" means nothing to someone who doesn't already know what it does.
Sorry, "used to be a big fan" implied to me that you were opposed to it's continuance.
Although I used to be a big fan of the work, I'm pretty sure I'll never see a commercial reactor born of the ITER project in my lifetime.
That's no reason to abandon it.
Have you been under a rock for the last 30 years? The only place it seems funding hasn't been slashed is pork and Defense.
Don't you have anything useful to say, ever? Your comment history suggests otherwise.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
