The friendliest way is to do one of experiments in luanti, then write them to say you liked the paper, but because you don't like proprietary software, you did it in luanti, and let them know of your success/failure.
- sourcepluck 2y agoI already acquiesced to your basic point, that I should be careful about appearing too "high-horse" about the whole thing. I told you that I really did not mean to, and thanked you for sharing your perception. And yet you're continuing, and pushing it a little step further, and implying that this is about me not liking proprietary software personally. How weird. I don't know how I could have been more explicit. I do not think educators should use proprietary software with children if they have the choice to do otherwise. I'm making an ethical point, in the sense that I believe it should be a general rule. Sometimes making an exception makes sense, sometimes not mentioning the whole thing at all makes sense, the world isn't black and white, sure. But I am not making a point about my personal preferences when it comes to software.
- eesmith 2y agoI'm sorry. I saw that one possibility to resolve 'wondering if they knew it's there' was to email them directly and ask. I was trying to caution you that it would be more friendly to include why you were curious, and to include some detail that tells them it you like their work enough to try it out yourself. > I do not think educators should use proprietary software with children if they have the choice to do otherwise The target audience is college students, not children.
