Another Linux lie: we have a note-taking software

Truth is, you no longer do.

Enter GNote, a post-it note-taking software that was bundled with all Linuxae, since time immemorial.

It used to use a normal, CUA-style editor, until most recently. It no longer does, in a sense that you can no longer tabulate your notes, by pressing TAB key on your keyboard. Some terminally genius FOSS developer thought that it was Okay to remove this feature. I don't now nor do I care what their line of thinking or motivation was: were they replacing one component or library with another, or for whatever reason. Bottom line is that it no longer works, and none of the terminally genius FOSS developers gives a fuck about our inconvenience.

This change continues the trend that was set by Gnome3: to become all-smartphone, nothing-for-desktop environment that all gnome developers kowtow slavishly.

So, to sum it up, in my best Mohammed's voice: "Who will rid me of Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena?"

The distro maintainers, in their usual wisdom, winked and accepted this caricature on software into their repos.

Genius is as genius does: always as a degenerate.
