@freya@chaosfem.tw @vtrlx@mastodon.social was about to write something similar but you captured it. I have used middle-click for decades but still fail to see what the drama is about. I would just have to re-learn or re-enable. Neither is a big deal *shrug*

@freya@chaosfem.tw @vtrlx@mastodon.social @higgins@hachyderm.io I think everything else aside this is the thing. I'm not sure whether the GNOME folks are willing to put this in the Settings app or whether it's more of a Tweaks thing? (clarification welcome!!!) but it barely takes any time to just enable it once and move on. honestly I could probably learn to live without it. but I would just flip the switch and be happy (or not have to do anything depending on what Ubuntu does here) so this all just feels like a massive fuss over misinformation
