If you REALLY want to stick it to companies knowingly funding fashtech, consider becoming a Friend of @gnome! There’s a convenient $50/month option in case you’re not planning to drop $3 million on something else. Or, you know, any amount helps. 😉

Friends of GNOME directly support the open source stack that many Linux-based operating systems depend on. They enable GNOME to pay individual contributors to work on critical and under-resourced areas of the project through the fellowship program.
Corporations aren’t lining up to throw millions at GNOME (though there are a few more modest tiers if your company is interested!). Most of the support comes from individuals like you.
If a few thousand folks became Friends of GNOME today, that would be huge for the sustainability of the Linux ecosystem.

Gnome allows use of AI. That is NOT "sticking it to companies funding fashtech."
The gnome project has also for decades had some really stupid design guidelines that are based on nothing more than "being different just to be different."
I'd rather use a text user interface than Gnome.
