If that money would go directly into development and not into NGOs that support cutting someones .i. and Vs off due to various ideologies, that would be less of a deal. Alas we're here.

Yeah how about "fuck that noise" and "use case for sending money to the GNOME project?".

I have disliked gnome since the early 2000's and they continue to validate my feelings.
I'm just waiting on kde to follow.

Surely in California, where the GNOME Foundation is located, there are fountains... I heard that the annual "catch" of the Trevi Fountain (Rome) is about 1.5 million euros. GNOME, you know what to do!

If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to use it.

It's been a terrible heavy bloat for a good while, config file structure all over the place, desktop was a mess by the half time of 5.x's life, now into 6.x it's the same mess with kirigami breakage. I still used kwin_x11 for a while and i think it still works good but kwin_wayland has an annoying lag for me and huge ram usage.

i use some kde software dearly still but the same can be said about xfce4 tools or heck even some gnome tools.

Back when I checked out Debian's packaging for KDE on Bookworm I was dumbfounded by how buggy switching between X11 and Wayland was.

Sometimes dbus just throws the piss at me about some sort of error and then hang up when I unlock the screen after idling, or logging in would work flawlessly for a while before just hanging on a black screen. I don't know what the criteria for "stable" is with KDE packages but I'm not impressed.

They need to "step up their game" if they want to remain relevant alongside Gnome, cause smaller desktops don't matter that much to common folk to consider. Well maybe apart from gamescope on thoese game things :)

You can try a user dbus instance maybe it behaves better.

You managed to quote me, yet still misrepresent what I said. Let's complain in the strongest possible terms about free software asking for donations. Grab a pitchfork y'all.

My answer is as strange as the "if you don't like it, don't use it" position itself. Yes, I don't like that free software is asking for money more and more insistently each time.

People should just stop writing libre software. It definitely is not worth it for the users

I'm not interested in the appeal for donations, but rather in the negative influence of Gnome3 on other projects.
