People are really good at complaining about stuff that is both #OpenSource and free! They don’t pay for it, or even try to help out, but they still have the audacity to demand things be done in a certain way or require support.
That’s rich.
That’s privilege.
It’s disgusting.
It’s burning out amazing inventors and kind people who donate their time and often own money to give something back.

Poem
To get past
Into the land that vast
Sustaining motions that can be able last
Be hold , for the times
That we take a pause
To rewind
Where does the Spiral act false?

Benefit of a few days of rain is that the balcony is fully green again and I already have a coupon of cucumbers.

in reply to Joachim Wiberg • • •This is one side of the coin.
The ther side, as a software creator, you make people dependent on your software. Disruptions and changes disrupt their lives.
Do creators have a responsibility to their users? You seem to say they don't, but this is an arguable answer.

in reply to dorotaC • • •@dcz I don’t know who you are, but I’ve been a maintainer of #OpenSource software for over two decades.
The license under which I distribute my software packages clearly state the responsibility I have. Personally I go above and beyond that, like most fellow maintainers.
It’s not a drug I peddle, but I don’t go out of my way to disrupt people’s lives nor try to make them dependent on me. What are you playing at?

in reply to Joachim Wiberg • • •If you operate a ferry and people go to school using your ferry every day, can you ignore feedback when you create a change that makes it harder to board for some?
You live in a society, and that creates mutual dependencies all over, both formal (license) and informal (custom). Unilaterally ignoring them is one stance, but it's by no means universal.

in reply to dorotaC • • •@dcz this is not what I’m talking about. #OpenSource is not a service, like a ferry.
I’m a single individual, I have no responsibility to ferry school kids every day just because I donate a boat now and again. Because I get stress relief from my day job by making beautiful boats, I’m not responsible if someone use one of my donated boats to rob a bank or kill someone. See why the analogy is bad?
Just because I give you something for free doesn’t mean I suddenly owe you anything.
