If you use Linux, you are an oppressor. Full stop.

Remind me why we even discuss those faggots? I mean really, subhumans like him or brodie trannyson are literallywho's that for some reason started recording shitty podcasts/writing shitty blogposts, got their own leddit-tier audience and act as some sort of faggy celebs. They don't really do any FOSS contributions and they spend most of their time pushing their tranny opinions on their audience.

>>105635249
There's nothing based about this at all, anon. This is stolen labor from a brave woman.

im not reading that wall of text but wtf are they actually complaining about? I surmised that "i do X for free but people who do this work usually get paid Y amount and i face Z issue" but what are they actually complaining about? I really dont want to read a tranny blogpost
Also, they use the same name on steam

>>105635318
So it's a seething tranny. Not interested.

>>105635225 (OP)
good

>>105635298
This. I'm honestly surprised. But I shouldn't be... It's a troon we're talking about here.

>>105635318
This is a pretty extreme case, but I think the point stands. Who's paying for all this work?

is this you op? I agree but I am only interested in contributing to your rage thread if its actually you, i dont like twitternigger grifters posting eceleb articles here. can you tell me your thoughts on xcfe? this is the DE I use and I am not sure why anyone would ever want to use KDE or Gnome they look awful.

>>105636991
The article itself is mediocre it's just parotting another one that was helpfully linked at the tail end
Much better put here:

It hits a lot of the kind of grievances I have with linux
I can't imagine how miserable it is to use a computer with your eyes fucked, much less loonix, much less an unfortunately abandonware de

why do waylandtroons hate disabled people so much? i will keep using xorg and fight the wayland tyranny. disabled rights are human rights!

>Average median wage
>55 USD

There is not a single person apart of the majority group in america that is making over $22 USD an hour. Any wage above $30 USD in america is reserved for corrupt girl jobs and office HR women

Most zoomer men are working literal 10 hours a day for $15/hr in america right now. Hell even USPS a federal employers only pays $19 starting.

Half of it was drama and bitching about social media politics
I'm not some brute who's unbeknownst to sadness because a kind stranger called me retarded but this is so obscure and so easy to ignore I can't help but find you guys silly

that's a lot of words, but i do agree that in general people should be a bit more appreciative regarding stuff made by people for free, and given to you for free.
but... they do in a way ask for this as well, by making software like gnome aimed at regular people who don't really understand how any of it is made. it doesn't make sense to pull in normal non-technical people and expect them to recognise technical problems or achievements

all this is without even considering accessibility, that's even trickier, because most people don't need such features, and because foss is made for themselves generally unlike proprietary software which is made for others, you're less likely to get a result that considers disabilities the author doesn't have. really not just disabilities, but features in general they don't know or care about. like for me i get a bit frustrated when a gui program has broken tab-stops. not because of any disability, just to save time. however, i doubt it's often missing/broken out of malice. it wasn't made by a big company who has paid teams and checklists to ensure such features work. if the dev doesn't use it, it may be missed, simple as that. it's foss, go fix it yourself, that's how anything gets done in foss

The issue with accessibility people, who are themselves not cripples, is that they don't understand at all what they are shilling for.

Classic example: Color blindness.
Suddenly some troon shows up and demands that you suck all color from all icons - and make it objectively worse for everyone - because they think color blind people see things like on a grayscale TV.

Or they demand to remove Icons whatsoever, because you are NEVER allowed to rely on them, because of screecreaders.
But they don't know that screenreaders read icon titles.

Or they have this government-inudcted opinion that you are not accessible if the accessibility options are options you have to enable. It HAS to be accessible per default. So you can't just do a separate high-contrast icon set you can enable - nope, it HAS to be the main one.

>>105638372
If you develop OpenSource and do it for free, why develop something for imaginary people you don't know?
I am not color blind.
If someone comes around and says: "Hey bro, i am color blind and this specific icon is really hard for me" THEN i have a person i can talk to and i can adjust it for them.
But GNOME implements accessibility based on corporate RedHat guidelines that are based on virtue signaling.
If you are a corporation, you can (sometimes are required to) hire a cripple, so he can tell you what is good for him or not. But what we see in Gnome is the worst workflow, they have corporate guidelines they follow, but don't have any cripple to tell them what is going on, so they waddle around in a world they have no idea about.

>I can't imagine how miserable it is to use a computer with your eyes fucked
KDE unintentionally ended up being pretty good with a screenreader.
Because Qt applications are very descriptive. You might be developing an accessible application without even knowing it.
Think about tooltips of icons. You encounter them, so you set them, no big deal. You might think that they are only good to describe the icon on hover in case someone isn't sure what the icon stands for, but it actually acts as a hint for screenreaders as well.
Your application has a file menu? Congrats, that is accessible per default!
>usable by keyboard shortcuts
>text for screenreaders
>high contrast
>icons for dyslexics

It is the dumbing-down for the plebs that makes applications stop being accessible. CSD is pretty bad for accessibility, because you lose consistency. Hamburger menus are bad for accessibility.

>>105638051
Also btw. a CLI is almost always accessible as well. With the exception of dyslexia.

If your OS can be run from the command line only, you are on a good start. Because you can do everything from text, that can be read to you and you can enter with a braille keyboard.

Accessibility is not what corporations tell you what it is and not what you think what it is. Talk to a cripple and ask them what software is the easiest for them to use.

>>105638760
you dont understand anon, if you dont pay some jewish karen how will they take money from the disabled who could be hired as a consultant and benefit their own people?

>>105638831
everyone who has ever worked with Qt knows how terrible and time consuming getting accessibility to work right is
