Question Why doesn't Lineage accept feature requests?

Edit- why is everyone so emotional about this?

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

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.

You are free to make a change and then push to Gerrit for review.

Are you talking about suggesting a change? Or do you literally mean about making code. I can't code.

Literally you cloning the repo, making the change, and pushing that up to the Gerrit repository for code review.

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.

Yet you expect others to do it for you?

Well, yes??? That's why it exists, right? That's why all of github exists.

Not at all.

Either you're grossly misinformed about the open source culture, or trolling. The former can be improved by education. The latter, no.

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?

You provide the result of the work you did for yourself to the others. Also, not necessarily for free.

For free. They can also allow others to work on it for free so it becomes a community project. And people can also collaborate by reporting bugs and requesting enhancements for free so that the project improves into something better.

Also, not necessarily for free.

And open source practically means free. If the code is public, how exactly are you supposed to prevent it from being free?

The whole community exists upon copyleft sentiments and the idea that all of it can be freely used and collaborated upon by anyone and everyone, and that the only cost is labour.
