It would be good if people would be neutral on buying not buying of open source software instead of blatantly pushing for not paying anything.
- ja27 4y agoYeah I hit: > It is quite pricey if you purchase it from the store and stopped reading. A one-time payment of $19.99 for an app you use all day every day is not 'quite pricey'.
- n_ary 4y ago> payment of $19.99 Are we looking at the same one? For me, “Blink Shell 14” appears to be €139,99 in App Store. Which is really pricey. For the normal one, there is €21,49/year subscription fee applicable, which is indeed expensive as well, as I can use iSH for free :]
- h4waii 4y agoIt's specifically buildable for users who would rather spend time than money or prefer to build for other reasons entirely. I am more likely to buy it because the authors see building as an acceptable choice to acquire their software, and I believe choice is a core component of open source.
- tluyben2 4y agoAgreed, but I think it should be neutral; I read this as a ‘too expensive, just build it’ which I see a lot with articles about OSS.
