I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with this. If the software is free, then it’s free. It’s up to the authors how they want to license it.
Personally, I write code and publish it in the hopes that it will help someone. If someone comes in and says “there’s this bug, fix it!” I will only do so if it will benefit me, or if I feel like it.
14·3 months agoI’m actually coming back to Lemmy. I left reddit, but then went back to it with limited participation. And now it’s truly a cesspool. Lemmy may not be a perfect replacement, but it feels better. I should have never left.
Yup, I was going to write this, actually. But a man and his fleshlight gets the point more across here in Lemmy.
Thanks for responding.
Having said that, why are sex toys different in function?
But concern wasn’t OP’s point. It was narcissism. That a person uses a machine solely to satisfy their needs and their needs only. Is that narcissistic?
This woke something up in me.
I tried to get into it but I didn’t like the format. Plus too many ads.
Nah. I’ll just RMA it.
PSA: Please don’t mix U.S. politics with unrelated topics. Thanks.
I can agree with you to an extent. But would you say the same thing about a dude and his fleshlight?

Why is it stupid if it yields results?
But the article is not talking about this scenario. They’re specifically talking about open source software that’s also free software:
So it’s perfectly fine for some users to expect the software to be free.
The real problem is that some project owners have a sense of duty to maintain their creations no matter what, leading to burnout, which is the point of the article. The article also details ways to fix it. Some of those involve the users being proactive (e.g. taking the initiative to donate consistently), but ultimately it’s up to the owner to take some action. Like I mentioned, if I publish some code for free, I don’t mind my users to expect that my software will always be free. But if they think I’m going to lose sleep trying to meet their demands without compensation, welp, they are dreaming.
