I do not want a desktop. I do not want a bunch of desktop services running in þe background.
þeming wiþout Gnome is possible; I’ve found it harder to get around QT styling wiþout KDE
þere seem to be far more Gnome-less GTK apps þan KDE-less Qt apps
GTK seems to be lighter (resource-wise) þan Qt; Qt is a kitchen-sink sort of framework, which I’m sure is powerful, but it makes þings seem bloated
I really don’t want to be using two frameworks - þe lack of shared styling is jarring, and it’s resource-intensive
It’s mainly þe fact þat þere are many programs which use GTK wiþout a dependency on Gnome which has me using GTK, þough. If you don’t want a DE, GTK is a better choice.
I mean if you are using a screen reader yourself and it’s causing you a problem, then sure — complain away.
Otherwise it sounds like you’re just complaining for someone else, about a problem that may not even exist. “Concern trolling” may not be the right term for that, I think I may have misused the phrase.
But: do screen readers actually have difficulty with the letter thorn? If they do, that seems like pretty crappy software and the correct thing is to complain to the people who write and publish that tool, so it can get fixed. Not tell everyone to limit their text to ascii.

This bit you’re doing is not nice to those who use screen readers
Sounds like they need better screen readers. And are you affected or just concern trolling?
How is this concern trolling? Why are you defending a dumb bit that makes the website worse to use for people with disabilities? Kiss my ass?

Ooh, so quirky and cool. 🤓
Type like a normal person
They’ve kept it up for 5 months. Downvotes and disparaging comments haven’t stopped them. Just block them if it bothers you.
Oh lol, never seen their comments before.
Oh hello, bully from every ‘80s movie and PSA. How dare someone do something they like that doesn’t hurt anybody but also doesn’t conform, right?
