A bit of attention whoring.
- muhuk 10y agoThis is not going to be one of these catchy titles, so “what kind of bs am I going to read here” has little use in this place. Actually, this is 100% true that contributing to the open source community might greatly affect your life How to say one thing and communicate the exact opposite.
- spetz 10y agoWell, if you say that this post was all about bs then I won't disagree with your opinion, as you have a right to say so :).
- daveloyall 10y agoI presume you are the author. Listen... Free software has changed my life for the better. A LOT of people have had very similar experiences. We dream and worry about and hope and fight for and code for and watch and love the future history of humanity as it blossoms and twists and writhes into everyone's lives. Software is eating the world. Free software developers are influencing that event (a little?). Just seeing it and knowing it changed my life. It changed the eyes with which I see the world. So I thought I knew what your post was going to be about. Keep looking, spetz. :)
- spetz 10y agoThank you for this well-written answer :).
- spetz 10y agoI can agree with that, but it's also a part of OS advertising, seems that I've achieved a goal in some way ;).
