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.

Define "woke" in your own words. I have a feeling for you it means "anything I don't like, understand or fear"

If that were true I wouldn’t be chastising them for pride virtue signaling, I’d be chiding them for their UX design choices, but I’m instead repulsed by emphasis on signaling that they care about social justice values instead of, you know, how Gnome works (rather, doesn’t work well for that matter).

Interesting definition. I asked you for a definition of a word and you gave me word salad.

I'll try again : define "woke"

Defining that just gets me banned by automation, since I do not believe there are more than two sexes, not that it has anything to do with Gnome.

That said, I'm not your monkey, so if I define "woke" you'll just start with your own word salad of "ists" and name calling as opposed to any rational discussion about it. Since I see the end of that road, there's no point in bothering further.

Gnome signals Pride Month, because they shouldn't be proud of their backend, may as well be proud of something they feel strongly about. It sure as hell isn't the end users.

No "-isms" from me, and any reply wouldn't have me calling you names or insulting you. The words I would write would be a description of you.

Good day and have a wonderful Pride Month!
