The author of this tweet is really making fun of indie gratis software, which is pretty rude, since that software is hard to use because the authors don't have many resources and are volunteers.
Is Firefox hard to use? Does the author struggle to use Twitter, built on libre software as a base? Is the Android kernel free as in piano?
Twitter people are stupid
- praptak 6y ago"Free as the marginal cost of producing a copy of software once enough people and companies invested their resources into making it usable". To be fair the tweet didn't say all free software is like this.
- 542458 6y agoI don’t think the tweet author is trying to make a point about crown-jewel FOSS like Firefox, Blender, etc.
- falcolas 6y agoSomewhat humorously, Firefox is free like swag. You get it for free, but you get bugged constantly about all the other great things Mozilla is doing.
- gnabgib 6y agoI don't think this is fair. Other than after some updates FF opens a new tab talking about new features, I haven't seen much. Do we have different settings?
- falcolas 6y agoPocket, the VPN, the now-defunct send, etc. Not to mention regular emails from having an account to sync between browsers.
- mindslight 6y agoI'd rather be pushed uniform information about what a company is up to, than have specific information about me pulled into a surveillance database. Neither one is good, but at least the generic push leaves me alone the rest of the time.
- iso1210 6y ago> Twitter people are stupid Some are, some aren't. Sometimes stupid people make non-stupid posts. Sometimes non-stupid people make stupid posts. This one clearly is a stupid post.
- xboxnolifes 6y agoTwitter people aren't stupid. The stupid people are those who care a little too much about what 1 person on twitter has to say about some topic.
