You're making plenty of unfounded assumptions about the parent poster's personal character.
One is not obligated to contribute to open source packages or pay for high-price contracts to provide feedback on a company's software on a public forum. (And the server portion of Snap is closed source.)
Just because Microsoft and Google do worse does not mean that Canonical cannot do better.
- marmada 6y agoOpen source contribution is not a requirement for providing feedback but people who actually understand the industry are more legitimate in most people's eyes.
- hannasanarion 6y agoWe're talking about the desktop computing industry, not the OS development industry. You don't need a PhD in computer science to tell a good user experience from a bad one.
- cjaybo 6y agoThis is a discussion about Canonical's strategy, which happens to involve technical products and services -- it is not a technical discussion. I see no reason to think that someone's software development chops would correlate with their ability to meaningfully contribute to this discussion.
