@pendell consensus and community input are important for foundational systems (eg display, audio, network, date time, etc) so that essential functionality is stable and implemented well enough that the rest of the ecosystem can be built on it, but it's not really important whether or not Crazy Bob's Chronometer Bauble fits into some grand brand vision
@pendell I disagree, this was a problem that was created by trying to have a unified vision (it's a gnome app using a gnome service and it works fine if you use gnome but i don't use gnome), and if it was designed to function well stand-alone it wouldn't have had this problem and wouldn't have required any broader coordination with anyone else's vision beyond the passive agreement that comes from using standard interfaces
@aeva the dice roll in the middle of drowning suggests that it was mere luck that we reached an outcome where you could not tell if the gnome clock was worse. it could have just as well gone the other way, and in fact, had you been slightly more informed, you would have definitely obliterated my little piece of driftwood.

Alas, I got busy with commercial an artist neon fabrication jobs again, so I had to pause a little on the personal projects. We again lost our CNC person at work and now, the new CNC person will be.... ME! I am quite excited to be learning and told my boss I would like to teach others and be just one CNC person rather than the "CNC guy"- I like to go on vacations an road trips.I have lots of CNC projects AND the CNC takes practice so to build my skills I have top make some personal projects :) With my newfound CNC abilities, I have become interested in watching videos of people making acrylic channel letters. I even gave it a go with some of my torches. Gosh its gonna be fun to put neon in these! I think I am gonna make the word "antifa" in a script krypton (white lightning) crackle tube- an put it in this (or my second or third) acrylic channel letter.
