You talk about market segments, adoption rates and funding like that’s the only goal someone has for sharing their project
No I didn’t but the fact you assumed that is telling. You aren’t arguing with me, you are arguing with a mental construct of me with the worst possible arguments. This is bad faith debate and I’m not going to tolerate it much longer.
Nah, you’re the elitist asshole, you should order more than one mirror.
Firstly, fuck you, and secondly this is the exact reason open source has lost the software wars. Most of humanity has chosen closed source due to convenience and availability. If open source can’t compete with this, it isn’t the fault of the consumer.
Your attitude is rancid and is the main reason open source will never be more than a novelty for most people.
You are like Todd Howard complaining how people are ‘playing starfield wrong’ and insisting that it is a super great game when the vast majority of players disagree. No amount of Todd insulting his userbase is going to make Starfield a good game.
Yes it does, they have the funding and resources to pay someone to handle the easy installer and user experience, they have teams of people to handle the issues.
No it doesn’t, my stipulations were ‘free to the user, easy to install, and open source’. I’m not going to repeat myself a third time.
You are intellectually dishonest and I’m frankly done and blocking you after this reply.
LMFAO it’s not about the money, it’s time and effort, for one or 2 people maintaining a project they shared and work on in their free time that’s in short supply.
Ok then maybe we need to make a world where good devs can program all they want for open source projects without having to keep a main job to pay for their needs.
I’d gladly donate to a foundation who’s purpose is to provide the means for living to teams of dedicated and non-elitist devs.
If you have your panties in such a twist
Eat every inch of my ass and beg for seconds, grease stain.
