I am not a fan of using “this” in a discussion but seriously, a million times this. You’ve clearly identified a real issue.
FOSS users like parent believe they have a birth right to the software they’re using, including making decisions for the direction product is taking.
- inetknght 7y ago> including making decisions for the direction product is taking If I am the product, I expect to be able to participate in choosing the direction. Businesses ignore that, of course, and look what that's dealt them in reputation. If I pay for something, I expect to be able to participate in choosing the direction. Businesses don't typically ignore paying customers.
- horsawlarway 7y agoThis is a user stating what it would take to make them a paying customer. This is not about FOSS. Full stop. The title is literally: "Mozilla will reportedly launch a paid version of Firefox this fall" Mozilla is free to ignore that feedback and sell whatever product they want. The parent user is free to not buy it. > FOSS users like parent believe they have a birth right to the software they’re using, including making decisions for the direction product is taking. This is not the conversation we're having. Shut up about it.
