You suggest “the gnome community” as an alternative to the FSF that actually cares?? lol, LMAO even.
instead of saying patches welcome in a derogatory way, they said so stuff’s broken? let’s see how we can fix it. Afterwards, begun a collaboration and a dialog in order to fix it, and by the time the next few releases rolled around, most of the accessibility issues got fixed.
Meanwhile, if you try to, I don’t know, ACTUALLY SUBMIT PATCHES to fix a problem, gnome maintainers will decline stating some stupid bullshit like “all development has moved to GTK4, not accepting patches to GTK3 anymore” despite my patch fixing an actual fucking problem that has a simple and uncontroversial fucking solution with a two line code change. Gnome is domineering and unwelcoming of any outsider patches or ideas by comparison to any FSF project I have ever participated in. Some “community” gnome turned out to be. A bunch of insular fuckwads.
Meanwhile I report a bug in a GNU project component, like nano, regarding some very poor behaviour for accessibility when on a physical terminal, and they immediately investigated and fixed the bug even without me sending in a patch. And thanked me for reporting the bug and explained to me what the problem was.
