Actual answer here:
If you would cut every feature that >80% don't use, you would eventually cut something from everyone.
There isn't a perfect overlap.
So making design decisions based on such metrics would go badly. As we can see with Firefox and Windows.

Popularity can merely be used as a priority list:
>A is used by 80%
>B is used by 10%
>so i first implement A and care for B later
But this isn't worth the privacy implications.

The gnome guy is apparently using a dark pattern to analyze this problem. Why would you assume that just because some people are willing to go through the extra effort to outright disable a feature that everyone want the feature removed, or that even everyone disabling the feature necessarily wants it removed? How would telemetry data even tell you this?

all that telemetry and software people still make all the software worse. Look at any modern application. He is a retard. Telemetry doesn't say anything about what people want. And they hear from actual people and do everything the opposite way. What retarded nonsense thinking is this?

You don't need telemetry to tell that a lot more than half the fucking retards who punish themselves by using GNOME as using Dash to Dock on GNOME. Ubuntu even enables that shit out-of-box. So why has GNOME not added an option for native dock in their shit DE? Because they don't really give a shit about the "user's opinion".

I wouldn't be surprised if there is telemetry and spyware in GNOME already. It's not like GNOMies of all people are smart enough to review the source code for that stuff. Just look at r/gnome these days. It is just vibe-coded slop after vibe-coded slop. Only a matter of time before this whole DE is just running of Claude Opus generated code. What a bunch of fucking retards.

I would block him on the spot and move on, no hesitation, I don't deal with tards.
If I ever see his greasy unwashed face or his stupid opinions ever again, I would do everything in my power to reduce his influence over me and others.

>they seem to be making the most absolute dogshit decisions on developing the OS
You can have all the telemetry you want and more, but if the only feedback you use is how much your investors tell you to screw your customers, then it is for nothing.
And have something in mind, all the telemetry on windows isn't for improving the OS, is for selling your data for profit and putting customized ads in system applications.

Cinnamon also uses GTK you retard
Ebussy pretty much owns GTK
He is writing all that code that Cinnamon uses
If you want to escape Ebussy then move to KDE, COSMIC or just use apps in your terminal
Budgie has plans to switch to Qt as well
Not sure what the fuck XFCE and MATE are planning
If there is anything worse than GNOME then it is downstream GTK slaves like Cinnamon and XFCE

>>108302225
Cinnamon uses Gtk3 which is frozen. Retard

Yes, we know you are a retard. No, we don't sign our posts here.

If the correlation between telemetry use and quality of the service wasn't fucking inverted I'd maybe buy that.

I agree with him. I have never been categorically against telemetry. It depends what data is gathered and for what purpose.

I would simply reply "The business model of GTK and the general Linux operating system currently hinges on 'mah preeveceee'. Without that you are a worse MacOS with increasingly more expensive hardware.

Of course ebussy is also the most fragile "human" in existence, if you made that reply to him he would instantly throw a shit fit and start a massive blocking spree.

You shouldn't.
>I have never been categorically against telemetry.
You should.

Telemetry data isn't 'yours', that's why so many people want to escape it. It's data that belongs to another person that is now being taken from you for free.
And that telemetry can identify lots of things about you and your system which you would not tell anyone else, even close friends or relatives. It can tell you where you usually hover your mouse, where you would spend most of your time typing, which applications you have open the most, which GUI features you use the most (This is what the bussy is speaking of).

For a long time, Windows was logging telemetry on every keystroke you put into Windows 10 and this was proven through packet sniffing. A literal built-in keylogger that, through fuzzing, was found to be recording not the individual keys you were pressing, but how long it took you to make keystrokes, how long you held each key after a press, which applications these presses were going into, and how long it took for each key to be pressed after the previous key in a series. This was being used for their language prediction at the time in Cortana.

It took someone with a brain at Microshaft to realize that this could be used to make a side channel attack on literally any user. Just record their keystroke time and number and in which applications and you have the length of all their passwords and which keys were probably pressed. Then they took it out. Gnome, Canonical, none of these companies have your best interest in mind with telemetry, and they have the same data agreements that state once it leaves your PC, it becomes theirs and they can share it with whoever.

That's emMANuele Bassi. AKA EBUSSY He is a project lead on the GNOME project and is responsible for coding most of GTK (The toolkit that Gnome uses) by hand himself.

He is known for:
>Holding his desktop environment literally 20 years or more back
>Begging the question whenever a new feature is requested behind tons of sarcasm
>NEVER Elaborating on anything, instead implying anyone who doesn't see things his way is automatically wrong and stupid
>Cutting useful features people have used for years because he, personally, doesn't use them

His famous quote is "Use case?" which is a classic way to beg the question about anything in a way to make the person who asks seem dumb. Use case for breathing? Use case for eating? Use case for computers? Use case for linux? Use case for walking? Use case for typing? Use case for working UI? Use case for 20 year old features? Use case for C? Use case for Rust? Everything requires explicit and detailed instructions as to exactly how you use it and why you want it, usually in the form of a 10 page thesis, of which he may just dismiss with "lol that's stupid, what are you, an idiot?" and close the PR.

So Edwardo BubbleBassi thus has become the icon of Linux everywhere as he is exactly the kind of person you would picture as being a Linux project maintainer. He is /g/ incarnate, and everything popular uses GNOME, Fedora uses it, Ubuntu uses it, all by default, so they're all at the whims of this one guy that most consider to be the most obnoxious person in open source today.

Honestly.
I think he's kinda based.

>>108302482
Also because you can't do anything with it lmao anytime someone wants to do something, he cuts it out of the project and claims it's your fault for wanting it.

Remember when it took him years to acknowledge that people want dynamic window titles?

Don't worry, I don't. I just let normalfags try GNOME for ten minutes before switching back to Windows because it's made for the utterly blind and autistic

>>108302586
I think the big thing now is to swap to Qt, which is more feature-rich, more backwards compatible, and isn't ran by blithering lunatics.

I mean I agree with the idea of forking GTK as far away from modern GNOME as possible, but that's ultimately not feasible for large projects. Especially if it's going to advertise itself as a drop-in replacement. The reason is that GNOME is extremely controlling of any and all forks and GTK even moreso. They have killed multiple attempts to keep GTK3 alive because they demand everyone uses GTK4, and the GNOME project has demonized people who take projects and try to make alternatives or continuations of them, like how XLibre is now "The Nazi Display Server".

>>108299892
