#archlinux gets $600K in funding (from the usual German foundation, of course), #Firefox drops Do Not Track and #Flathub is being separated from the #GNOME foundation into its own entity: time for the #linux and #OpenSource News video!

@clairie@mastodon.social Oh yeah, and I was just reporting on the fact that multiple developers complained about this. I don’t have strong feelings on the issue personally, it’s just a banner.
I just think it’s weird to enforce icons styles in the App Store for « Linux ». Not up to them to say what’s good or not :)
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social You’re right it is just the banner, and that’s why I didn’t agree the guides were actively discriminatory. Platforms want to make good first impression, and it’s not unusual to have higher standards for showcases than to get the app on the store to begin with.
One thing I want is more avenues to reward good apps that may not fit the guidelines perfectly. Like visibility rounds or a users’ choice spot.
I hope that makes sense. I’m sorry for being rude in my initial post.
@clairie@mastodon.social No worries ! I don’t even think they were actively discriminatory either, it’s just a result of « Gnome devs wrote guidelines » resulting in inherently biased stuff.
Nothing harmful, and they even asked devs for feedback, so it’s all good !
