let’s just host all these services for free am I right? who needs to pay energy bills anyway

There’s also few but existing examples of people that resist the selling urge, like the VLC dev

I use their mail system, and it’s pretty good ngl

I’ve seen food expire before the date stated, so you should also take into account where you live and the regulatory entities that manage your food and stuff.

I’d say always do the sniff if you are worried.

that came out great!

yes, because the average user doesn’t even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to “vendor lock” your own browser, in this case Safari from iOS

yeah, discord do be like that

on hindsight they are trying to implement a “forum” like experience, where you can create a dedicated threads channel where you csn search previous threads, but it’s not exactly like a real forum, pretty useful tho

they will never win, it’s an open source code, anyone can fork an re-distribute It, they can’t realistically lawsuit tens of thousands of people, some of which sre totally incognito

I don’t think that’s the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn’t bad just because It wasn’t the best action possible.

And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, “great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who’s going to remove the plastic that is already in there?”, It’s a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn’t choose option B.

I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there’s a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.

EVEN if it’s done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.

Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would’ve helped in their entire lifetimes.

So you’re suggesting him to:

Drop out of his job (which you may not know).

Stop earning an amount of money that, may or may not be utterly necessary to keep his lifestyle (which you may not know).

Spend months or years learning a new technology, meanwhile unemployed or with a job that may or may not sustain his previous expenses (expenses which you may not know).

Re-make every single project that he owns to a new platform while adapting every single thing to a new environment, meanwhile solving a waterfall of bugs and refactoring problems, ultimately consuming hundreds of hours (bugs which you may not know).

After living miserably for a while, hunt for companies that somehow are using an open source tool that, most of the time, won’t tick all the boxes a company needs from a tool (companies and boxes which you don’t know).

Miraculously find such company and, miraculously rise to a position high enough that you can make a decision which changes the whole core of the development team, impacts licensing for other tools, new hires, compatibilities, and god knows what more down the line (changes which you may not know).

You’re suggesting that he goes down years of an even more uncertain path… just because you feel like It? To me It sounds like an Evil person’s plan. How can you be so assertive saying something which you may not know about? Jesus

chaotic good, nice

spreading misinformation is not “harmless”, it doesn’t have immediate effect but it surely affects the community in the long run

I have to disagree with the “best software out there”.

You said you are a designer, that you used It all and currently uses Figma right?

Adobe has a Figma competitor, Adobe XD, and It seems you’re not using It, even though It should be better like you said.

and one of the most clean to boot, all the residue is accounted for and stored solid in big concrete barrels to decay until harmlessness
