The best part about it is that he finally conceded, but with a half-assed solution that leaves issues due to how icon theme inheritance works.

Because people ignore the kde weirdos cause they hate gnome more
>The ex apple employee that now leads the whole project (Nate)
>The furry

>The shady blue systems => tech paladins migration and project control
>Tech paladins is based in the US and controls KDE e.v. based in Germany

He only conceded because he realized that it is about applications looking bad in Gnome.
He originally thought that it's about Gnome applications looking bad on other DEs.

I came to realize the only thing of real value in the Linux world is the kernel and the basic userland tools that make the terminal functional. This is because market-driven companies agreed to collaborate on a vendor-neutral substrate, the kernel, as a shared standard. Everything else built on top that serves "retail" is a meme.
Why? Because there is no need to listen to users when no one is paying. That makes most of it irrelevant in the larger scheme. Still, it's impressive how much has been built in spite of that.

anon, Gnome is the most corporate product in the OpenSource world, run by IBM under support of the NSA.
You are replying to a thread that disproves your motion.

Still does.
gtk3-widget-factory has missing icons, but I guess they only care about GTK4 now.

FOSS communities attract lots of communists who have lots of skeletons in their closets, the FOSS ideology is perfectly aligned with communist ideologies, so they get attracted to it and infect the random community they set their eyes on, and then proceed to expel everyone who isn't "literally me" ideologically.
This is quite literally why the gnome foundation is probably going under, mastodon is a complete extremist echo chamber and most distros are losing developers and contributors at speed of light, recently debian was asking for help because they can't find people willing to contribute, last time I saw something about this, the plasma maintainer was leaving because he was right wing and they basically bullied him out of the project by psychologically abusing him.

Why does the FOSS community especially projects such as Gnome adopt such pants on head retarded policies. Corps don't need to do shit besides sit back and watch open source devour itself

FOSS is an enormous dairy for lolcows like the fields of human batteries in The Matrix.
