@erindesu @vkc I'm ok with it as long as it's easy to switch on.

@Saorsa @vkc Forking doesn't prevent collaboration, and might even lead to understandings that make more people happier with the outcome.

@Saorsa @vkc I do think your opinion about the fork is a bit exaggerated, making a fork doesn't, doesn't have to be a drama, and doesn't even have to lead to a community break.

Users have different and conflicting opinions. It's simply not possible to make them all happy about everything. It's also not fair that users who don't contribute in any way define technology as much as those who do. So forking is inevitable and should be welcome without drama by Free Sofware lovers.

@Saorsa @vkc But I don't hold to the project entirely the responsibility of getting involved in ways that will lead to be heard. Those who want to affect how technology is defined have to be active in contributing, in ways that are recognized.

@Saorsa @vkc The users who usually have a voice that is recognized by developers and other organization leadership are users which are contributors in other ways other than development and are directly engaged with the development project. This is natural, and others will have a hard time to make their opinion to be recognized.

While I think this is natural, I also believe projects should try to have programs to expand the relation with those other users, and to listen to them as well.

@Saorsa @vkc I argue that what you call larger FOSS community might not be as supporting of FOSS and freedom as they believe they are.

I'm not saying all that "FOSS community", but many (I can't say most, and I don't think empirical observation is fair for that), only recognize the freedom when it's freedom for others to do what they want, and not what the others want.

@mouseless @vkc I love the middle click, but I would be happy if people who don't could disable it.

I think mouse buttons being millimetre away from space bar is a bad computer design.

@Saorsa @vkc it's wrong to assume that *everybody* agrees on most things, or even on most things. This was never the case, and it will never be, and it's ok, and the big advantage, is that besides having a lot of optionsm we have mostly Free Software the have the power to fork. Those who don't like this, don't Like Free Software.

It's ok for GNOME to do whatever GNOME wants to do, that's called freedom. I say this and I don't always agree with them, and I use GNOME since I use Linux (decades)

@vkc I love the middle click, I've been using it for about 26 years, and I think its one of my favourite features. I'll be annoyed if it goes away.

I'm totally ok with making it optional...
