I wish more people would understand that different people use their computers for different things.

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"

@dotstdy
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.

@Zambunny @kenobit Quella sigla ha una storia quasi secolare. È una versione abbreviata della sigla del vecchio Telegiornale (1952-1976) con la T maiuscola, quando di Telegiornale in Italia ce n'era uno solo. È attribuita di solito al maestro Egidio Storaci. Il quale, qualche decennio prima della nascita della TV, aveva già composto una sigla d'apertura per una trasmissione radio dell'EIAR degli anni '30: https://youtu.be/zXRHDIzdL1g. Basta ascoltare le prime note e la somiglianza è evidente. :)

@PhilipJ per fare che cosa?
perché se è per aggirare le restrizioni regionali sui contenuti, mah, bene o male che io sappia una vale l'altra
se è per avere più privacy, considera che stai passando dall'essere più o meno intercettabile dal tuo provider, che stai pagando per darti connettività, ad essere più o meno intercettabile da un fornitore di vpn, che sta seduto su una pila di traffico che si suppone essere particolarmente sensibile, e quindi potenzialmente più remunerativo.

@Zambunny @kenobit Associo le edizioni straordinarie del Tg2 del periodo 1977-1986 agli anni di piombo, quindi il mio spavento è per quel motivo lì. Non è una paura bambina atavica come per il Tg1.
(L'articolo sulle sigle del Tg2 del periodo 1976-1988 ce l'ho già pronto. Devo solo trascriverlo. Se hai bisogno per le colonne sonore del Tg2 dell'epoca, chiedi pure. Alcune le so a memoria.)
