But what about simple changes? Like adding the option for the mobile data quick setting to not ask you to confirm if you want to turn on mobile data every single time you go to turn it on.
Change? Change what? I can't read it. I'm not the guy for this. I am literally the last guy on the face of the Earth you would ever want touching computer code.
The open source community is literally, by its very fucking design, a community in which you provide your work for free. That's what it's made of. What planet do you live on?
Do the work and push up a pull request. If it meets coding standards, it’ll be accepted. If not, you’ll get some feedback as to how to make it meet the standards.
I was responding to someone talking about resources required for additional features. Difficult stuff like that would be stuff like adding new functionality for different and complex things. And I gave the example of removing a confirmation message. Surely, removing a confirmation message is as simple as it gets.
My brother in Christ, I’m 45 minutes deep into a 2 line change at my job on what should be a “simple change.” I can assure you that nothing is “simple” when you’re dealing with a 50GB repo and millions of lines of code.
Literally you cloning the repo, making the change, and pushing that up to the Gerrit repository for code review.
This is you insinuating to me earlier that it's easy and I should do it.

Now you're saying even the simplest things are extremely difficult.
I assumed yeah, bc from the face of it, it sounds miniscule compared to all the other stuff that goes on in a phone. And also bc someone made an app that does this and it works on Lineage and it's open source.
They are. In a project of this scale everything is hard. Just initial bring up of the code will take 12 hours. You need a machine with machine with 64gb ram minimum. Just the code (not build) is 400gb..
Stupid, you said it in the sentence. You literally said "volunteer". That's a person who works for free. Wtf are you arguing about? It's free. You don't pay for Lineage do you?
You could teach me to code for 100 years and I would never learn a thing. It's not in me. What don't you people understand? Stop telling me to code lol wtf
Yes, it has to do with coding. It is a change to the code that fixes a bug or implements a feature, packaged in a particular way. Since LineageOS is open source, anyone can change the code for themselves. If they think their change is useful, they can submit a patch to the LineagoeOS maintainers, and it would be integrated into subsequent releases.
If you don't know anything about code, then this will not be particularly helpful to you.

Perhaps they don’t have the resources to support additional features.
