and ebassi refuses to fix it

Usecase for using the weather app to check the weather?
>>
Use case for smaller cities?
>>

holy shit /g/ has lost it since they added thumbnails to the file picker
>>
>>109394136
Only fascists live in small cities. Issue closed as won't fix.
>>
>>109394136
>hardcoded list of cities built into the service
lol
Wait till you guys find out about GVFS and SMB performance.
>>
>>109394136
What's the usecase for living outside a major city?
>>
>>109394136
"enough", "unclear", and "nearest" aren't a metric, closing.
>>
>>109394136
As long as it shows me the weather in San Fran it's great. It's a great app.
>>
the most reasonable ebussy reply i've witnessed, hats off to him for once
>>
>>109394165
Use case for weather?

I bet they use a fre weather API where you can get only big cities for free, smaller cities would cost.
>>
>>109394136
GNOME is garbage. Anyone who uses GNOME voluntarily probably has irreversible brain damage.
>>
>>109394136
since when including small cities is a performance metric
>>
>>109395218
According to the comment OP posted, they used to, but Mozilla discontinued it.
>>
>>109394136
Bassi is correct in all of his comments. If you want a fix then fix it yourself—he's outlined what needs to be done and in what components. With AI you can develop and submit a fix with a few hours of work—the only one refusing to fix their problem here is you.
>>
>>109394136
works for my city!
>>
>>109394136
Literally grab the source code, open codex or opencode in the dir, tell AI to fix it, either keep the changes just for yourself or PR them.

>we are all volunteers
Wait, with all the donations Gnome receives, they really have no actual employees
>Hurr durr, it's FOSS
And? Lots of FOSS projects have actual employees

>Wait, with all the donations Gnome receives, they really have no actual employees
They don't get that much, at least compared to how big they feel. Making roughly half that of KDE. They do have around 100k set aside to allow one or two people to work on essential stuff however.

Leaving aside all other expenses, even with $580k you won't get you many full time employees unless you only hire Indonesian slaves or some shit.

for checking if it is safe to venture outside and feel the blades of grass

If KDE has so much more funding (donations? Would imply significantly more popularity as well), then why does GNOME constantly fuck up desktop linux by draging everything in the most retarded directions? How and why do they have such pull?

Of course I know the answer: Redhat/IBM.

>why does GNOME constantly fuck up desktop linux by draging everything in the most retarded directions?
To be fair, I get the impression that Gnome developers are more hyperautistic about following procedures and shit. Like if there isn't some official implementation in Wayland to support something, they just won't do it. While KDE is more pragmatic and will just make it work.

>How and why do they have such pull?
I don't think they have that much pull, at least not anymore. Now they just do their own thing(or well, nothing at all in most cases).
>>
>>109394136

Usecase for cluttering the weather app with noname cities?
>>
>>109395815
>I don't think they have that much pull, at least not anymore. Now they just do their own thing(or well, nothing at all in most cases).
Yeah I guess I just mentally lump together GNOME, Wayland, and SystemD as sort of one cancerous entity.
>>
>>109395110
it seems like the man’s job is to explain the software and how it works for retards who can’t bother to look at it and read about it
>>
Say what you want about Bussy, but he's still in there giving advice when it's asked for.
He cops a lot of shit, but he works hard. I can respect that.
>>
>>109398698
The hate for him is more a meme at this point as opposed to actual hate.
>>
>>109398698
ebussy is the mascot of gnome dev but most of the quotes that are attributed to him aren't his.
He doesn't say use case for XYZ as much as other GNOME devs.
>>
Does it find St. Davids? This is Britain's smallest city, for reference
>>
>>109398757
happens all the time in anything
music, celeberties, fucking furries -- you name it; if someone is being repeatedly curbstomped by the community it's very likely that the hate is self-propagating via memes, false attribution and he-said-she-said clique nonsense.
it becomes trendy to blame them.
>>
>>109399139
Death to all furries
>>
>>109394136
why didnt some AI shill fix this issue? Its very easy to fix the devs dont want to put in the work because its not their priority and the others are clueless. Same shit happened with the scrolling/rendering bug in gtk4 took years to fix them wasnt hard at all.
