Right, but if in the process you take your great code and turn it into a crappy deliverable, that's on you. You don't get praise for taking serviceable software and bogging it down while locking out end users on an open source platform. You don't give a f*k. We get it.
Further, if you are tunnel-vision focused on profit, remember that if you lose your end users, you lose your only means to eventual income.
- hypothesis 5y agoI’m just acknowledging the reality. There is now a very nice summary comment from worik elsewhere in the thread, but basically end-users are no longer the same from Canonical’s perspective and so it’s probably wise to thank them for good things they did and move on.
- sgc 5y agoThese companies need to be reminded that users are the sina qua non condition for any customer whatsoever, and that their disinterested to hostile attitude towards users is a poison pill for them. "Users aren't the customer" is tired corporate-speak for "I want to be an a*hole", and needs to die. As to Canonical, the only reason I use FF anyways is because it is the lesser evil. They are far from stellar with their constant attempts to inject invasive monetizers into the browser.
