      It’s kinda sad honestly. It really shows that people misplace their understanding of who the class war is against

    Software that will one day stop being supported because people will only use FOSS apps. They won’t contribute in terms of feedback (that helps improve User Experience and as a result improve the use of that app) or in terms of donation.

    They will only use it and roam around with an air of superiority about using FOSS over proprietary.

    This is why FOSS has issues. Gatekeepers who won’t do shit to contribute, but only make fun of and call out people who actually do some shit.

        as someone who regularily donates to the FOSS projects that I use, I can tell you it is not about the money. It’s about the freedom that FOSD brings

    Have you ever looked at linux kernel CLs? Many of the more substantial ones come from someone @intel.com, @microsoft.com, @google.com, etc.

    As if the majority of you will ever donate to a FOSS dev. This is one of the reasons I went into open source hardware instead. At least you can’t easily copy a PCB, you have to build your own or buy mine. I’m not a corporation. I’m a dude living in the ghettos of Baltimore trying to do my hustle and live.

      This is the way. Either by money or other types of contributions.
