      I do too, but no thanks to the article. The title gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, the text also gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, the linked-to release announcement also gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, finally the link at the bottom of that tells me it's a way of finding free radio stations on the internet. Which I have close to zero interest in.

      When the admins post a slashvertising article, is it too much to ask that the article title or text actually describes what's being slashvertised?

      Perhaps they updated the summary, but it seems pretty clear to me:
      > with Internet radio stations from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, Scotland, France and Belgium, as well as U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Guatemala, mapped for GNOME Maps

      Sounds pretty like it does exactly what is says on the tin - maps the internet radio station broadcast locations so that they can be viewed in GNOME Maps.

      it sounds like you want to feed usage data to these spy companies instead of using openstreetmap.org, which this app uses via gnome maps.
