I understand your frustration, though. Nobody listened to Poland's warnings about consequences of NS either.
For instance, I remember when Dutch society changed their mind on Nord Stream and Russia, but only after MH17 was shot down. Until then, they didn't seem to care too much about what NS will result in. Other countries supported NS even longer.
And look how it ended up. For all of us.
Poland has been warning about Russia at least for over 14 years now, since before Crimea annexation for sure. It started with Russia invading Georgia, I think.
Likewise, Poland has also been meeting NATO spending quota for years, upping it even more these days.
Poland refused to let another gas pipe from Russia through its territory without it going through Ukraine too, because it was obvious Russia would use it as leverage against Ukraine. This is what actually led to NS project which, for the same reason and this time additionaly because of the risk of creating leverage against other CEE countries, Poland refused to participate in and had been instead alarming that NS will result in troubles with Russia and security of Europe and Ukraine in particular.
Poland has been raising the issue of not only Ukrainian, but Georgian situation too. Many people forget, that Russia has been occupying parts of Georgia for over 16 years now.
Poland, despite paying penalties for that and being called racist etc., has been also blocking illegal immigration influx on its border with Belarus due to it being a hybrid war of Russia against Europe.
If anything, Poland did not sleep over Russia's plans. Quite the opposite, actually.

What is also annoying is that they come to normal Dart/Flutter related threads just to spoil them.
Meanwhile, the ecosystem grows, more and more people and companies choose Dart and Flutter and have fun creating software with this excellent toolchain.
The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on, as they say.

This translates to "Intel's semiconductor integration and testing plant". So it looks like it'll be more than just testing finished product, but we'll soon find out anyway.
The government can brag about "amazing" high-tech investment and new jobs in Poland. They'll just put aside the fact, that the real deal is going to happen somewhere else (in Germany, also heavily subsidized, btw.), while the Polish workers will "gain" knowledge in testing and packaging (AFAIK).
For years: "This will probably be part of the upcoming Gnome 46" [1], "46.0 2024-03-20" [2].
Funnily enough, this feature seems to have been released less than 6 months ago. :)

Many of the pain points mentioned in the article also have another and perhaps surprising dimension - accessibility. Think about people having to use Gnome with just one arm, for instance during rehabilitation period after severe accident. Boy, is the experience going to be atrocious! Those long travel times, increased click counts and general Gnome idiosyncrasies are going to add up quickly. Pure frustration. Keyboard shortcuts won't cut it either, obviously.
Personally, I do use Gnome, but only because it has better immutable implementation at the moment (Fedora Silverblue > Fedora Kinoite because of bugs). But I'm rooting for COSMIC [1] and if it doesn't work out, any Wayland-enabled desktop environment will be better for me I guess, as long as it has a good immutable implementation.
Same in Poland.
I had to disable online features in Elden Ring in order to get rid of multitude of messages from other players. That was on Steam on Linux.
I haven't tried friend summoninig, but online features did work for sure.

[1] For example, while being the Vice Commissioner for Human Rights (vice ombudswoman) in Poland, she stated that "It is worth, first of all, stating a few facts. First, violence has a gender, whether we want it to or not. Women and children are the victims, and men are the perpetrators." (video transcript translated with https://www.deepl.com, source in Polish: https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/dr-sylwia-spurek-przemoc-ma-...).

Not to mention Ada being really versatile and well thought out language. And there's upcoming Ada 2022 standard [7].

I think the OP meant this and that it's not like other languages are anti-LGBTQ or something.
As is making assumptious comment without reading the article, especially when the comment may be wrong. I think it's not only unhelpful, but actually harmful, because other people, who also jump straight to comment section, may form an opinion based on misinformation. Also, timbit42 did provide us with what they read in the linked content; unless they added it with an edit.
* Camera didn't work.
* Sound coming out from built-in speakers was flat.
* Broadcom Wi-Fi didn't work out of the box.
Didn't spot any other issues during tests.
Also I don't think tracking dependencies is the root problem, rather different applications requiring different dependency versions, which leads to even more redundancy on top of the aforementioned one. And if you avoid providing different lib versions, you end up with silly application version freezes until next distribution version is released along with updated repos.
Rpm/deb/etc. repositories simply don't scale. You either end up with a small well-maintained repo, or a huge one with many abandoned or version-frozen packages. Not to mention you'd have to write sandboxing rules for each distro version separately, which is why most distros do not provide complete sandboxing at all. Perhaps there are some distributions inbetween, but not in my experience.
I do understand current Flatpak's and Snap's technical limitations. I just think they will be solved, sooner or later. I'd be happy to use Guix or Nix instead of Toolbox, but currently their requirements conflict with how rpm-ostree treats system's root directory.
Snap and Flatpak where not only meant to enable sandboxing, but also to eliminate huge distribution repositories of packages all modifying root directory contents and requiring redundant packaging work.
I agree that neither Flatpak nor Snap are there yet, but we're all still in the transition stage.
