First off, not what I said.
Second off, I never called them dumb. I actually happen to have a good relationship with them, so I take offense to what you’re implying. I mearly stated that I don’t like GitHub and gave some legitimate reasons. Which btw : 100000072310000007241000000728Maybe the one who should learn humility is you.
Nobody here needs “a long history of submitting patches to Firefox” to have an opinion on the tools used to manage the project. I assume that most here sharing their opinion don’t and yet you need not scroll far. You merely need some knowledge and experience with the tools, be it in personal, corporate, FOSS, etc. projects. Besides I don’t spend my free time helping FOSS projects just to use it to be like “my opinion better” that’s literally just the “appeal to authority fallacy”. But if you must know, I have helped here and there throughout the years under various different aliases/accounts. (Why “various aliases”? because I enjoy helping not some meaningless credit, it’s just how I am.)
How does the opinion of your supposed internal contact at mozilla affect the basic English interpretation of the public announcement?
We’d see who’s interpretation is right? Duh.
Padenot (contributer with direct ties to Mozilla internal) agrees with me on GitHub PR being terrible. 🤣

Note : most of them are sleeping rn, so it’s going to take a bit of time.
I asked Glob (the literal author of the announcement) directly as well. Waiting for him to wake up and see it, he was up at 3am last night, lol.
So they are considering it.
Thanks for confirming my point.
If they weren’t, they wouldn’t have specified, they’d just say “we will not be accepting Pull Requests”.
“Although we’ll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time”
We can all read it right there plan as day.
If they weren’t planning to/considering it, then why specify “at this time”?
I’m only a native English speaker, so guess I could be interpreting it wrong.
Do tell oh wise one, what alternative meaning could it possibly have?
I’m not a fan of all the blank space in their design language, it doesn’t look bad or anything but I don’t have a touch screen and having to move the mouse around so much for long periods of time physically hurts, especially on laptops.
I wish it was more… desktop friendly… If they took more advantage of the dynamic layout capabilities of GTK4 to have a better desktop layout based on their already existing design language while still having this mobile esk layout for other devices, we’d be golden.
If they don’t want to do that, they should at least increase the default mouse speed so it feels better out of the box.
Republicans or Democrats, doesn’t matter.
They’re still a bunch of clown politicians more focused on saving their own ass then doing what’s right.
Y’all can down vote all you want, but deep down you know it’s true.
