schestowitz[TR2]"Considering the fact that GNOME is a critical component (the desktop and a huge percentage of the software suite) of nearly every major enterprise Linux distribution (IBM/Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical, Oracle, etc.), it should be rolling in dough.Nov 11 08:42
schestowitz[TR2]The fact that GNOME is struggling is bizarre.Nov 11 08:42
schestowitz[TR2]What’s even *more* bizarre is how several Billion dollar companies feel comfortable shipping GNOME software… considering the wildly erratic, angry, and (quite frankly) insane antics of GNOME."Nov 11 08:42

schestowitz[TR2]The writers behind @FOSSForceNov 11 08:43
schestowitz[TR2] say they have been temporarily suspended from posting to Facebook because, according to them, they posted a link invoking the "Lunduke" name.Nov 11 08:43
schestowitz[TR2]"[Lunduke] does have a way of making us liberal woke snowflake types feel both unrespected and unwelcome" and unsafe if "we start shouting lefty slogans at a Lunduke rally"."Nov 11 08:43
schestowitz[TR2]"The GNOME Foundation appears set to have it's worst year since 2022, financially -- projecting only $435,000 in total revenue.Nov 11 08:44
schestowitz[TR2]To put this in perspective:Nov 11 08:44
schestowitz[TR2]- In 2024 the GNOME Foundation laid off 33% of their staff... while seeing significantly higher total revenue than the current year.Nov 11 08:44
schestowitz[TR2]- In 2023 GNOME infamously hired a "Professional Shaman" (who sold Shaman water, and "Become a Pro Shaman" courses, on YouTube).Nov 11 08:44
schestowitz[TR2]This current fiscal year (2025 - 2026), according to GNOMES Communication Specialist, is set to be worse than either of those years."Nov 11 08:44
