    1. doesnt have time, unassigns themselves

    Because someone else took over, as the person even says in a comment.

    1. Priority gets set lower

    Priority got set back to the priority it was at 4 minutes before. The priority being changed was clearly a mistake.

    1. A guy wants to work on it
    2. That guy doesnt work at Mozilla anymore

    OK?

    1. The bug went from priority P5 to P1 and doesnt block anything anymore

    It got retriaged. There are processes for this and it’s totally normal.

    This is really bad. Especially as it seems like not that big of a change.

    No it really isn’t bad at all. And it’s a massive change, the linked bug is a meta bug which means it is simply used to track the actual work. See all the bugs in the depends on section? That’s where the real work happens and there has been a ton of progress made.

    Also believe it or not, lots of discussion happens outside of bugs. You really have no idea what is going on just by looking at bug activity.






  • Same reason most non technical people using Linux today do so on the Steam Deck. If you want to spread Linux, trying to convince individuals is going about it all wrong.

    You need to convince Canonical or Red Hat to spend more on partnerships with manufacturers. I’m not sure if anyone else has deep enough pockets.





  • The problem is this relies on the people who make stuff making a huge sacrifice on behalf of everyone else. This won’t change until everyone else is willing to at least match what rich people can offer to people who make stuff. Unfortunately everyone else are not willing to match this unless people who make stuff can offer a product of equivalent value. Making a product of equivalent value takes time, which gives rich people ample opportunity to offer more than everyone else is willing to.
