I had a realization at this year’s DevConf. Even if people want to contribute to large open-source projects, they have no idea how. Or they don’t even realize they can contribute in the first place and that such a thing would be appreciated That’s why I wanted to try this experiment and offer 5 inte...
I've been using Silverblue and Universal Blue's images for at least a couple of years now and although there were a couple of rare instances I had to manually intervene with my system due to issues, the experience is considerably better than a traditional distro.
If you refuse to understand I'll just refuse to engage further then, keep wasting your time on pointless discussions on free software built by volunteers and what they spend their time on. I'll go back to actually working on them in whatever way I can.
Is the meme wrong?
Yes, it is.
basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place
Who gets to decide what's "basic" functionality? Each desktop's team has their vision for what they want to implement. Something that might be basic to one person might not be in someone else's vision or...
the devs don’t want to implement
...is being worked on but needs design. GNOME is design-oriented. It doesn't matter how much you scream that something needs implementing if no one designs how that implementation will work and why it should be implemented in the first place. It's not about "not wanting", it's about making sure that when something is implemented, that it'll work well both now and in the future.
Note : I’ve barely used gnome in my life so it’s based on memes I’ve saw about gnome
and it shows
Sure, it'll be there for those who want it. As an extension. It isn't part of the vision the project has so they won't implement it, they already have the Background Apps section for things like these. Simple as that.
The thing is, volunteers work on what they want/specialize. Unless you are their boss and are paying them to work on something, you can't force their hand.
They've been doing quite a bit of work in the past year, on Newton, the future a11y stack, Spiel, for a better pipeline for speech synthesis (basically as an easy way to get more natural-sounding voice models) and on implementing AccessKit (the most recent stable a11y stack that is the same one the folks working on COSMIC are using).
Better well implemented and late than poorly but soon.
Simple, they've been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren't going to make it to the next release don't get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol
Includes !2717 Depends on
- You should, this is a huge achievement that has been worked on for quite a while now.
- You can, actually. I live in a pretty small town and it picks up my location quite well for the weather.
- Even if it didn't, one issue doesn't mean we're not allowed to celebrate anything, and the issue in this case isn't even with GNOME itself, but with the provider for the Weather app (I believe it's OpenWeather).

The temptation is hard, but it would be totally against their philosophy, the best laptop is the one you already own, after all. Also they don't ship to Brazil yet, so no way for me to get one, unfortunately.
Goddamn, every day that passes I hope so much Framework get to expand their sales to more countries. I REALLY want to get one of their laptops whenever mine finally bites the dust.
We’re excited to share a preview of a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard with a new CPU architecture.

Ah shoot, I wasn't aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn't any sort of news about "hey buy our new product" or something like it.
Or Bottles!
I mean, there's always another option beyond W11, if you catch my drift

it's available in the current stable version, just behind an about:config flag, will edit this one later on with the one when I get the time to get back on my machine
edit: took a while but I believe it's browser.translations.select.enable
that enables it
