You can indeed tell how tired and old the complaint is by the nature of what it complains about.

In 2021 we are instead lumbered with inconsistent support for hidpi displays, lack of DTMF in linphone, and Evolution’s option to disable pc beep on new message being a plugin.

But that was just the last week. Next week will be better and the fight for freedom is indeed an eternal struggle.

Are you really complaining about GNOME software lacking options as if that wasn't what GNOME is all about. Please don't blame Linux for problems with one specific DE and its applications.

It's a fair complaint if the DE is officially supported by a popular distribution. Most ordinary users don't make the distinction between OS and DE. To them, a beeping email application is just an unpleasant aspect of the OS.

Those are not related complaints at all. Shifting goalposts much?

I read it as things getting better, problems becoming more minor.
