This is pretty broad but thank you every open source developer who makes my computer awesome

[edthedev@infosec.exchange]

@cwebber thank-you right back at you! Thank you so much for your (frankly epic) contributions to open source!

[pheonix@hachyderm.io]

@cwebber Aa both a contributor to open source and a long time user of it, thank you! The world is a better place because of open source software.

[lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me]

@cwebber Kind of thing that sometimes makes me wonder how far have the various amount of patches I've sent have went.

And reminds me that I've even sent two reports to guix, without even having used it (was binary blobs I detected on gentoo and that guix didn't remove/workaround either).

and another glass raised for the #FOSS translators, doc writers, packagers, security researchers, package archive hosts, graphic artists, sysadmins, consultants, sponsors, contributors and everyone else who freely gives of themselves to ensure EVERYONE can participate in the digital domain! 🍻

@cwebber I'm even cool with developers who sell perpetual licenses and don't play subscription model games, or just care about stock value and investment (the promise of future profits when they have a monopoly or clients that are hopelessly locked in).

[poetaster@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber thank you, too. I'm just OCD and like writing PUSH.

[cutepenguin@mastodon.ml]

@cwebber
And thank all straight-arm programmers, whose developing for real working open-source things
My main chagrin - it open-source products, which don't working good or STUPID DON'T SUPPORT PREVIOUS VERSIONS 🔪🔪🔪 (Linux, unfortunately, also suffers from this)

[zbrown@floss.social]

@lemgandi @cwebber donating to the FSF doesn't wildly help most of open source, not least because they don't even like open source, but it does keep funding someone who rather seems to be a creep sooooo

[numeredevs@fosstodon.org]

@cwebber you are welcome!

[jamesbritt@mastodon.social]

@cwebber

Also thanks to all those who write good documentation.

[adamizcool@mastodon.social]

@cwebber well said

[lemgandi@mastodon.social]

@zbrown @cwebber

Shrug. OK, send your money to the Debian folks ( https://www.debian.org/donations ), as I do every time I install or update one of my machines. Or heck, donate to EFF ( https://eff.org ).

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

(Checks the profile) And that also includes you! Thanks!

[hyperreal@tilde.zone]
