“the standard is bad therefore we can’t support it”

“so can we have a standard for this thing people have been using on every desktop ever for the past 40 years or so”

but what will become of our bikeshedding “it’s an antipattern actually”
u/daniellefore We've been trying to tell app authors to stop using it because it's not a standard for years There's been many articles and talks about it. Major companies have launched campaigns to ask developers to use actual standards. It will not die for whatever reason u/CrumblingStatue Is there an alternate standard for this? If there isn't one, application authors have no choice but use the non-accepted one. And if it's not accepted, why is it hosted on freedesktop.org? That gives it an air of legitimacy as an accepted standard. At least that's the impression I got. There should at least be a big red UNACCEPTED flag if it's not accepted. If it has become a de-facto standard, we should at least try and make an effort to make it an accepted standard, so people can actually collaborate on it and help improve it. u/daniellefore Yes and no. There is not a single standard for putting an icon in a panel because it's an anti-pattern. ...

the best part is that the most popular distribution with gnome readds status icon support back via an extension

like yes we will ignore the reality of every other os and even linux desktop environment being ok with status icons

AND the fact that the literal most popular distribution that ships with gnome specifically adds them back with a hack

and keep on saying it's an antipattern

@jeder otherwise they would've known that the best way to build a desktop environment is to cut out absolutely everything everyone uses and spit upon the workflows people have developed over the past half a century or so
