Thats the point. People should realize that just because someone is doing some software as a hobby doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to earn money. YOU PEOPLE, IF YOU USE GREAT SOFTWARE PAY FOR IT PLEASE. Don’t let great FOSS software die out, and donate. Just give those 20$, its not much for you (some shitty chineese gadgets), and its so much for devs if everyone do that. Wherever you want to buy some chineese gadget, donate it to actually great software instead of chineese scammer please.
to be fair, most of those Chinese scammers probably need the money more. Most of them are in effect slaves and convincing westerners to give them money allows their handlers not to kill them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLPpl2ISKTg
Only until enshittification kicks in
Is that hyperlink a bad copy/paste or is there some connection there that I’m not understanding?
it sounds like you are implying that FLOSS programs include annoying advertising. I don’t recall the last time I saw any, and Free Software actually helps make that possible because someone else could easily, relatively speaking, fork it and release the same thing legally without the ads.
The fuck is this stupid ass meme format lol
