I wish more people would understand that different people use their computers for different things. For me, gnome is unusable. This is not hyperbolic, I literally cannot use my computer for the things I want to use my computer for in gnome. But that doesn't imply you will have the same experience. Don't be so reflexively dismissive when people give feedback.

We gotta find a middle ground between "the customer is always right" and "it's open source, fuck you"

The simple answer is that you are not a customer if you are not paying for the product. -

@dotstdy I just don't know if there's room enough for a company to come in to both develop open source software features and to sell it as a product.
Maybe some sort of per feature crowd funding might be more appropriate? -

I just mean generally though, even if you're working for free, there's no point having an adversarial relationship with your users. Especially not if you're a capital P Project with lots of contributors and users. It's just super unhealthy.

@dotstdy Ah, I was talking more generally about starting a company to write and sell versions of open source software with features that customers want, and not about particular projects.

@dominikg @dotstdy this only works up to a certain extent if the changes don't get upstreamed and/or the modified version doesn't get enough of a userbase to warrant its maintenance, because over time (and in certain areas that's relatively quickly) it will lapse and become incompatible with the rest of the ecosystem.

Tre caccia russi MiG-31 sono entrati nello spazio aereo estone senza autorizzazione e vi sono rimasti per un totale di 12 minuti.
Ad intercettare i tre jet russi che hanno invaso lo spazio aereo estone sarebbero sono stati due F35 italiani che si sono alzati in volo dalla base di Amari, dopo la segnalazione dei sistemi radar della Nato che hanno rilevato la presenza degli aerei russi, per uno 'scramble', l'ordine di decollo su allarme. 🤦♂️

La felicità è un pensiero per te.
Quel pensiero per te.
Che allevia per un momento il peso emotivo sulle tue spalle e porta luce uno spiraglio di luce in un periodo grigio da troppo tempo.
