We Are Improving Usability By Removing What You Love

The GNOME desktop environment strikes again! This meme brutally captures the classic open-source UX paradox where developers proudly remove features in the name of "simplicity" while users desperately cling to functionality they actually need.

What makes this extra spicy is how the GNOME team cheerfully livestreams and blogs about their "improvements" while completely ignoring user feedback. It's the software equivalent of someone stealing your chair and then expecting applause for "decluttering your space."

The true chef's kiss here is that this exact scenario has played out countless times in GNOME's history—from removing desktop icons to nuking system tray support. "It's not a bug, it's a feature removal!"
