There’s a section about re-using icons for different purposes. This is why freedesktop got it right by making icon names semantic instead of descriptive. Developers still sometimes mess it up, but it’s more obviously the wrong thing to do if your icon names describe what it’s for, not how it looks

@danirabbit developers will always go for the first thing that sometimes fits the job and will be mad when the metaphor changes. maintaining such semantic schemes for over two decades i can tell you this is all a lie. semantic themes do not work.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online People actually ask for that nonsense?

@FinalGirl @danirabbit To be explicit about this — my response wasn’t meant to be an attack on Danielle’s professional credentials but an approach I devoted a lot of time to but concluded it was a dead road. I apologise if I wasn’t clear and my toot allowed it to be interpreted that way.

Wild how when I make a post about being proud of something I’ve contributed to and a problem it solves I get multiple posts from men just saying I’m wrong. A quote post even because that’s super brave
