South African, living in Germany, left-leaning, deeply aligned with the opening lines of the Grundgesetz that declare all people to have inherent worth. Nerdy of nature and short of stature, I bend code and words to my purposes yet revel in my sports and thrive in the hills and high places.

are facing unnecessary backlash because of this. Their release schedule and time-line for whenorg.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser
v. 4 could be reliably expected to exist in the wild was surely not kept in secret!
