Too much collaboration and respecting other people, not enough rugged individualism and walking over other people to get ahead.

Besides that tragic accident (fuck alcohol) and with all due respect: That guy has his priorities completely messed up.

The moment he got trampled on for asking for support he should have dropped that project. Into a deep, deep pit. Probably would have been hired in an instant for a lot of cash to continue to maintain it under the direction of one of the FAANGs.

I mean, yeah, he has, but it's still sad, because his library is used by half the internet and yet he can't afford a lawyer.

If it was me, I'd say "fuck it" the moment it would get in my way, but I guess I'm less of an idealist than the dude is.

Maintaining Open Source without being paid by a company to do so is terrible. I made a few Open Source projects and never will I do it again. I do contribute a fix or something every once in a while if the issue really annoys me in my usage, but I will never again take any active role in an open source project.

People take your work for free and then attack you for not doing everything they ask for, equally for free. It's just not sustainable.

I gnash my teeth and cry into my pillow every night because I'm not being data harvested by Microsoft. I open my taskbar and wail, for there are no ads to be displayed.

Linux. Not even once.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
