Absolutely could be the case with things with specific tasks. It’s always a good idea to share what your development environment is so others can replicate and if they’re using something a bit different they probably know what they’re doing anyway

Naev is another good one. I made a post a few weeks ago on one of the ask Lemmy communities asking about favourite open source games. Lots of good stuff came out of that post. Here’s a link to it for your instance https://lemmy.world/post/13444739
You say that yet I have contributed to open source software. They are allowed to do what they want with it for free but from a moral sense they should contribute back to projects that they benefit from.
It would be good if successful Godot developers contributed to development or financially instead of leaching off of it
Nintendo would bomb aid workers if they thought they were carrying yuzu source code
Yes certainly some nasty reports out there. Even the reviews that show up in GNOME software are a bit nasty
You still are not reading what I said correctly. The problem is they said in the bug report that it is “High Priority”. That’s a bit pushy. It’s up to the maintainers to work out what’s “High Priority”. You completely missed the point.
It’s not that they made a big report. It’s that they, a multi-billion dollar company, had the nerve to mark it as “High Priority” and request that a volunteer fix it for them so their proprietary commercial product would work. It’s that they do nothing for the project but expect the world from it. That’s the problem.
I’ve got nothing against bug reports, infact I’ve made some myself, they help development. Demanding they are fixed is a different thing entirely.
Sorry if my previous comment sounded like an insult.
I’m not really sure what you’re saying here. Microsoft have every right to fix the bug themselves and the maintainer has every right not to. Open source software doesn’t come with a warranty in most licensed.
I’ve been thinking about the 30% cut and I think to some extent Valve earn it. They’re not just hosting the download for your game and managing updates and payments. They’re also running your forum, running your multiplayer (if you take advantage of the Steam Datagram Relay), making mods easy to manage and share, making controller support easy to implement and making it easy to port to Linux and MacOS.
Apple and Google also take a 30% cut (+$100 USD/year and semi-recent Mac for Apple). In comparison I think Valve to a lot more to earn your 30% (even if I still think its a bit high considering how much money they make)
It’s not so much a case of people setting aside their principles, it’s more like people considering stability, potential contributions and convenience alongside their principles.
Give Codeberg a few more years of stability and people might re-evaluate choosing GitHub. The controversy around Gitea forming a company and the fragmentation of development unsettles that trust.
The search in their new forum system is really, really, really, very, very bad. It only searches for exact matches in post titles. So not very useful. I hope we’ll see more projects start to use GitHub discussions, but it depends on the commitment of the maintainers
There’s not really much point in using a self hosted gitea or codeberg or sourcehut if you want the barrier of entry to be as low as possible for potential contributors. Maybe if some larger projects made the move. But GitHub has more features (like discussions), provides better hosting and ease of use. The focus of any open source project should be on development of the software, not the software which supports its development.
As a programmer, OpenSCAD is amazingly easy to use compared to the mouse based alternatives
Are they? These services do require money to run, and the pricing seems very reasonable
Wait that’s my IP!?
Unfortunately gitlab.com have been really cutting back on features for even open source projects due to money problems
No one ever talks about Rust…
