FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.
Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

in reply to Jeff Fortin T. (風の庭園のNekohayo) • • •Runner up in "problematic downstream/distros packaging behavior" is #Canonical insisting on packaging old buggy versions in #Ubuntu using their endemic #Snap format. Ex.: snapcraft.io/gnome-calendar
It'd be really nice if they'd stop doing that, this is absolutely detrimental to the app's developers.
#SnapCraft creates confusion, until users eventually go out of their way to surgically remove it from their desktop OS in the same way Raiden rips out spines to acquire electrolytes.
