[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago* (1 child) How dare I take something that somebody freely offered! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago* (1 child) If everyone did the same thing, free open source software wouldn't exist. If you can't pay, you don't need to. But if you can donate, you should. Acting like an entitled brat makes 0 sense here. The devs don't owe you anything, amd you're talking as if it was their duty to give you free software. You sound like the annoying douche that opens a github issue and demands it to be fixed asap. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago* (1 child) If everyone did the same thing, free open source software wouldn’t exist. Yes it would. Just maybe not developed as fast or as comprehensive. Lots of open source developers out there work completely for free, never seeing a single red cent for their efforts. Heck, I -- just barely, technically -- am one of them. I've made a couple PRs to fix issues in open source software. I never got paid for it. And I'm okay with that. If you're using some of the software I (very slightly) helped with and you didn't pay for it ... good for you! I hope you enjoy my bugfixes! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 0 points 2 months ago You're literally disproving your own point. You're part of the reason foss software exists because "paying" for it has many forms. Collaborating is one of them. permalink fedilink source parent
