@Lyude How is the union of wp and xdg protocol extension namespaces not what you ask for?
I'm sitting in my winter outdoor clothes on my balcony. It's maybe 14°C, the rain is drumming on the metal sheet roof, and the trees are swaying in the gusts of wind. A few birds are singing. The occasional stray drizzle sprays on my face. A hint of a wet pine and fir forest is in the air.
This is one of the best things in the Finnish summer for me. On a day when I was too tired to go to work.
I wish everyone a break.
@swick Wouldn't trimming down who and what tags you follow help? You have the right to choose who you read.
I don't follow any tags related to my work. I don't dare even try, and I get enough to read anyway.

For the past week, I've been so angry and disappointed in the Linux community for being quiet in regards to any kind of celebration to advancing accessibility, but suddenly becoming vocal and supportive when privileged people start writing about how bad accessibility on Linux is while portraying contributors as the devils who don't care about anybody.
I'm so exhausted. I'm so demotivated. The Linux community really doesn't care about accessibility on Linux. No wonder accessibility on Linux sucks. No one wants to work on it because they keep getting bullied and pressured.

What do virtue-signalers and privileged people without disabilities sharing content about accessibility on Linux being trash have in common? They don’t actually really care about the group they’re defending; they just exploit these victims’ unfortunate situation to either fuel hate against groups and projects actually trying to make the world a better place. I never thought I’d be this upset to a point I’d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It’s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating. I’m here writing this post fully knowing that I could have been working on accessibility in GNOME, but really, I’m so tired of having my mood ruined because of privileged people spending at most 5 minutes to write erroneous posts and then pretending to be oblivious when confronted while it takes us 5 months of unpaid work to get a quarter of recognition, let alone acknowledgment, without accounting for the time “wasted” addressing these accusations.
Very long and slow gradients is a good point to make. Without dithering we would need the stimulus change from one code value to the next to be imperceptible when laid out as two flat fields side-by-side.
