  • Piracy from the big guy who’s exploiting little guys to make and sell products is fair.

    Pirating things off the little guy, who’s barely making a living is how the little guys stop making content on their own, and will instead opt to work for the big guy who can guarantee a livelihood, no matter how small. If you think you as a society isn’t contributing to it then just look around.

    And It is only getting worse. While you can fantasize about it, indie-anything who get lucky are exceedingly rare for a reason. But you won’t stop removed about how everything from the Big Bad has gone to shit. It couldn’t totally be because everyone thinks they’re entitled to others hard work, because they paid for “the internet”.

    But as always, entitled pricks are how we end up on ever more convulsive state of the world, no matter which side you’re on. So carry on, ig.





  • my $100 Walmart tablet lasts all week with light usage, I doubt this could compare

    probably not in a first release, but Android is convulted piece of shit compared to linux desktop environments. Not to mention Google’s and/or OEMs built-in system apps running 24/7 guzzling all your data in the background.

    In time, I guess it would beat out in performance and efficiency but lose in the availability of applications, same as desktop linux.

    Handing it off to someone creates a whole new set of second hand responsibility, if the new maintainers go on to add something malicious.

    a la: xz backdoor

    The creator was shunned until everyone figured out he had handed it off to someone else.

    If someone wants to continue, they can always fork it.

    yea. but they get to claim like they fund the opensource world. like come on… stop posting fake funding claims on an anonymous forum and hire yourself a developer team if you’re so invested in this.

    But whaa… developers salary aren’t funded by your $2 dollar donations, even with 100s of donations. oh geez… who woulda thought.






  • I can’t believe people construed the lack of this feature in a brand new software as bad Canonical want to kill deb!

    Most loud mouth open source enthusiasts are often toxic entitled choosing beggars. If any of their desires are not met, the project is dying or dead even though the statistics say otherwise.

    Fork it and fix things you want to make it better?

    No way bro. I want someone else to work on the feature I requested one year ago.
