There’s no way to otherwise make this work for many users. They can use Tor if they’re worried.

You’re talking about extensions.

Extensions that don’t come from GNOME are not supported at all, they’ve made that clear. If they wanted to, they could just stop allowing third party extensions altogether.

This is because they hook directly into GNOME Shell’s’ internal JS, which changes every release as they refactor it for performance or feature changes. Developers have a few months before release to adjust their extensions for the newer version.

Personally, I just raw dog vanilla GNOME for stability, and it works fine.

I personally love it, I use Linux for work and I need it to be concise, consistent and stable.

Given its icon, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s religious-themed :P

I’m a full-stack software developer working in the financial sector, their statement is factual.

Companies will never want to take on liability that has the potential to bankrupt them. It is in their best interest to not reveal the version of libraries they are using as some versions may have publicly known vulnerabilities, and it would make it incredibly easy for attackers to build an exploit chain if they knew the exact versions being used.

Securing client code is just as important as securing server code, as you don’t want to expose your users to potential XSS attacks that could affect the way the page gets displayed, or worse, leak their credentials to a third party. If this happened in the EU or some parts of Canada, and it’s been found that the company reduced their threat model “for the sake of openness”, they would likely be fined into bankruptcy or forced to leave the market.

Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where your interests and ethics will never be aligned with those of service owners as they are held to a certain standard by privacy laws and other regulations.

Omg I’m so sorry, no you’re right, fuck GNOME, all its devs are doodoofards! /s

I like the opinionated nature of GNOME, I don’t have time to configure my desktop, I just need to do work and get paid.

idk man I just run stock GNOME and get paid for work.

To fursuit it is business

What an odd and disjointed comment

The average person finds these creepy, and so you’ll keep the average person away.

I personally don’t get it either, it does look like a 6 year old girl to me and it seems completely off-topic, but I don’t question it so long as it’s not sexual in nature.
