We don't need to agree in order to discuss such things, and it's alright if we disagree on wording. Literally every user I talk to has asked me either how to disable the hot corner, or asked me to do it for them. I obviously did not mean "everybody" literally, but it's even fine if you take it literally, given the context. Regardless, the suggestion that *somebody else* knows best, and that we, as users, shouldn't have a choice is just as uncomfortable and unwelcoming to me as I assume what I said is to you. Please also see the context of "just works for everyone". It was in response to another individual's claim that what *somebody* decides is best for everyone. - - John Harris _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
