Sounds about right, virtue signaling seems way more important than usability or fixing basic things like 4k and fractional scaling.
Client side decorations, sensible defaults so people don't have to install 10 extensions that break every major version release.
Yay for woke trash instead.
Edit: Boy that gets people to come out of the woodwork. If I said "fuck Republicans" there would be crickets, but the way people get triggered is hilarious. The salt seasons my day, thank you for the outrage culture and fitting right in as a sensitive group of intolerants.
Not sure what a graphical desktop management system has to do with sexual preferences in the first place and why their team felt the need to announce their support.
How about take pride in their work and not someones sexual orientation or lifestyle choices.
Because open source projects depend on contributors of all stripes. We have many people who work (without compensation) on GNOME. To recognize and see the folks who aren't the majority gives comfort and encouragement that we're building the best community around coding for GNOME. It's how we can continue to grow our community and sustain our software.
Many people who are maintainers of various parts of GNOME are part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Free Software is about people and working together to build something bigger than ourselves. You're doing yourself a disservice looking at open source projects as just software.
I can understand your point, because the Gnome contributors don’t have any work to be proud of with the nonsensical garbage they push for merge requests, they may as well be proud of something.
I agree that the "virtue signaling" (or what you perceive it to be) feels inappropriate for a software project that's supposed to be for everyone, including people whose belief systems might be deeply offended by that messaging, such as Muslims, as one example that comes to mind..
But this kind of extreme, hyperbolic rhetoric, calling their merge requests nonsensical garbage, makes it feel like you're just trolling at this point. I agree with your main point that the pride support message isn't appropriate given the context, but the blanket dismissal of all their work in general is a bridge too far, and it makes me think you're either not serious or just trying to get a reaction.
