@hash-table i completly agree with you. Thanks god I am used to deal with such retards, but imagine your mother or your non-tech gf just trying to do "all that cool linux stuff her son/bf does" on her secondary older notebook being welcomed by such a dickhead. Terrible UX on linux, shitty libre office and other software for daily usage and the need to do so many things "in that hacker black whitey thing" are just small problem compared to these cunts. You can always sell shit if you do it right, but there is literally nothing OK with people like this.

@CopyPasteCode the problem with that is that not all free software is trying to sell itself. That a lot of projects are not well funded or funded at all and are done in the spare time of programmers.
Most of people do it for fun. Because they like to create, because it's fun to hack things. It's not as if they're running a company and they need to fix bugs, give support, write documentation or anything else.
If you were complaining about Microsoft, I'd understand it. But given that you're complaining about people you, and most of the world, doesn't pay to share their hacking, then I must but pay no attention at all and side with those "freetards".
And that's the truth of it. -
@hash-table you're right, that's a right granted by the all mighty himself. You see, the thing is that you can't demand anything. It can't sound like you're demanding it. It can't sound like you're trying to fake a demand.
And after a few hundred demands, you get tired and tell people to do a PR or fuck off if they sound like they might demand you waste your free time on their problem.
Haven't actually done it myself, but I can understand it well enough. -
@CopyPasteCode
Wow. Those guys were pretty toxic, but please don’t generalize it to all of us. I’m a maintainer of a couple projects myself (over 3k stars on GitHub), and do my best to acknowledge and welcome new contributors.
I hope you don’t have to deal with more people like them. Keep on contributing! ✌️ -
@RageBone suddenly found yourself guilt of such stuff?
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...
As much as I love opensource I hate really hate some of its actvie community members (read this as "freetards" <-- see urbandictonary). As a .Net + web devloper with minimal C experience (I just started learning it) and literally no Python experience its not really easy to contribute for me to many (most) opensource software for linux. I am using some <unnamed software> and I found a <critical bug>, it was easy to reproduce and I wrote for list of possible solutions, found it in a code and linked and basically wrote a docummentation longer than any other I ever wrote for every single project I did ever, combined. This <software> was critical for my server and since owner of github repo and few other people there were really active, I hoped that this bug with pretty good documentation will be solved fast, I went to my bed with a heroic feeling of an open source community contributor that helped saving world. I was horribly wrong. Tomorrow, I got 3 passively agressive responses from owner and other 2 freetards that summed up said <other1>:"oh thats nice, fix i yourself and commit it", <other2>:"have a sex with yourself" in a nice way, and <owner>: "fix my softwate and create mrege request". After replying that I have no experience my Python skills are not on a level requied for such an action, he messaged me on twitter I have linked to my GitHub profile saying even less nicely that I am a "retarded c*nt" and that I should learn Python and fix it myself. This makes me stay with my Windows based Server for some time now, fuck this. I googled his github nickname and guess what. Our main freetard is admin on an <unnamed linux forum> and mebmber of many other "computer help" with literally half of his posts just slightly toxic posts about how everyone should use linux and how supreme it is ober anything other, the other hals was crying why linux has only 1% of market share. Oh boi I am not sure why but ITS MAYBE BECAUSE OF FREETARDS LIKE YOU.
And the funnies thing is, hes not only freetard, he is just fullstack retard. One of his posts is "helping" to some <noob windows user> installing Linux. tl:dr for this las part: Freetard basically wiped all data of that <noob>.
PS: Bless everyone who do not respond "oh nice, now you can do it yourself"
