Someday you may need to find a way to work with people who do not speak, act, or conduct themselves as you do. Though that does not mean they have nothing to contribute. Given the amount of issues, and lack of bugs filed on such. Clearly it is only hurting the project and end users.
Blocking is childish, is a form of suppression, censorship. Signs of a closed community, intolerable of others. Incapable of interacting with others who are not part of the group thinking. Not to mention easily circumvented. Making it a waste of time. Usually best to improve people skills and learn conflict deescalation. Blocking someone does not resolve any issues, but may increase. http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-5a186f101276c3.66583890.jpg https://phab.enlightenment.org/p/wltjr/ https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6221 When you do block someone cannot respond to open bugs, leaving devs hanging. Example there are others, not to mention new issues not filed https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6222 Since first coming to E back in March. With EFL 1.20, there has been a steady stream of new issues. Which is also now the case with E 0.22.x. I am quite shocked given many of these issues I did not experience with EFL 1.19.x and I am about to revert back to E 0.21.x. Do you all care about such issues? First off to address the last issue brought up when I left the list. Though I have discovered since I am banned. More on that later. I spent close to a month trying to figure out how to customize Text via EDJE that is coming from code. I asked numerous in IRC. The final conversation I had that on matter was with raster. Where others said I insulted him. I have no problem making that entirely IRC session public. Others are welcome. The fact is the question I was asking was NEVER answered. No one gave me a solution or any clear path. I finally 100% on my own discovered the solution and it was stupid easy and trivial I could not believe the amount of time wasted, or that raster could not easily tell me how. Without going into a lengthy explanation as to design, engineering etc. So without further ado... Custom text or other is easy! In EDJE you set the type, For a label, set to Text in EDJE. Then in code you do a simple elm_object_part_text_set https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/entrance/commit/4d4ce9c50a4029384a1e09a2145dfdc3dcc4ab4c https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/entrance/commit/4d4ce9c50a4029384a1e09a2145dfdc3dcc4ab4c https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/entrance/commit/7d4d39e4fe0f0914c903acfe7f68609190c0fbe1 https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/entrance/commit/bdb719bc43dfee808e0ac7917ee19702525c8c78 I could not believe how easy it was, and that no one could help me achieve such. So I insulted raster in that process? Did anyone stop to think if I was insulted? Maybe if someone is being insulting they feel they were insulted. At the same time people can feel insulted due to many factors including different cultures... Example, many in the US find some French people to be rude. Many French find people form the US rude. Its in part fact and myth any simple search will show. Now I have experienced this in my life having relatives who live in France, and Florida is a place frequent visited by French and French Canadians. It is just my experience in life and NOT an insult. I do not find it insulting if French say Americans are rude. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=french+us+rude Thus my comments, not an insult. It is a fact I have experienced. https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6221#102030 Though I am bothered by this having lived through 2 hurricanes in a year. Not to mention those that helped me the most were African American. Much less those in Puerto Rico. All Nazis? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=charlie+hebdo+hurricane Just best not to go there. The world is fraught with social issues. What may be insulting to you may not be to me. What may be to me may not be to you. That is how the world is. Technical projects are no means to solve social issues. Social issues should not hold back a technical project. I will make 1 other post outlining numerous issues. The type of thing you cut yourself off by silencing others. This stuff benefits you all more than others. Its finding bugs in your code. Usually people care about not having bugs in their code, being aware, and resolving in a timely manner. Blocking and silencing people does not resolve technical issues. It will not help further the project, being a technical project. It will simply hold things back, and further fracture the community. Not to mention does not work. I am posting here, yet blocked. I have many emails, domains, and can create more. Thus its futile. temp_account is me. I stopped using it, more out of respect and disrespect having my account disabled. I could be filing bugs via that. https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6221#102052 Being blocked on phab also cuts me off from pages I started... Love that others find it useful. Wonder what else I may contribute of use to others.... Now cut off so no more of that goodness... https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/efl_apps_todo/ There is already Moshka and Bodhi. Which that community is responsible for numerous EFL apps that are not coming from the main E/EFL community. Do you want to fracture and create another? Or should I just go contribute to them? Its welcomed. https://github.com/thewaiter/Clipboard/issues/15 I highly recommend learning to work with those you may differ and dislike for the benefit of all. I think that is called being an adult... Kids take their toys and go home. Either way does not fix broken toys.... Or help to make things better. I am not going anywhere. I will continue doing EFL app development. It is up to you all if you want a more inclusive diverse project or not. But keeping those out like me only hurts the project. It does not help. -- William L.
