  • The few people I know who had a Windows phone really liked the UI, the platform was just mismanaged by Microsoft. For example, they already had a problem with having too little apps in their store and then they broke app compatibility between Windows phone 7 and 8. I guess Google intentionally breaking compatibility of their services on Windows phones didn’t help adoption either.

    I think they should have either dropped the package or at the very least renamed it so people stop bothering jwz. Making the upstream developers deal with LTS versions they never intended to support is incredibly disrespectful.

    I consider jwz response entirely reasonable. The initial message immediately suggests going against his wishes and the rest of the thread is about whats good for Debian which is a project that jwz never wanted to be involved in but suddenly its his problem. If I where in his situation I would tell them to go fuck themselves as well. Its just incredibly disrespectful to the person who did the actual work.

    The gist of it is jwz, the maintainer of xscreensaver, received a ton of bug reports for bugs he fixed ages ago because Debian refused to update to a newer version citing “stability” as a reason. He added a warning dialog to his software to warn users that they are running an outdated version and to not report bugs to him. Debian maintainers patched it out because they are legally allowed to do so according to the license. I consider this is GNOME level of assholery. They decided on a shitty policy and then made it someone else’s problem.

    […] Debian maintainer had inadvertently reduced the number of possible keys that could be generated by a given user from “bazillions” to a little over 32,000.

    That’s really bad. It also seems like they patched OpenSSL without ever intending to upstream the changes.
