Unfortunately I gave up on Gnome and it's family of gnomes many years ago.
But I recall this odd behavior from the past when I was checking the
progress of the Gnome desktop from time to time.

example from 2010

Even if they come up with OnlineAccounts or whatever - honestly I do not
want to insult anybody, but why the waste of human time?

On the other hand to make the reader laugh I think it is probably good that
these developers are busy with breaking and repairing Gnome all the time,
so that they can not break anything else around :D

If you want a stable desktop you know there is one called Trinity Desktop
(TDE) - it just works. But upfront the Evolution monster will behave the
same if you insist using it :D
