There is so much wrong with this post, I am amazed that it is allowed to survive in this community.
You condemned me for complaining about a diverse world, which is not true AT ALL. And then you imply that I should not be using windows. So you condemn someone for what you believe is complaining about a diverse world and then ridicule that person for using a windows partition to participate in open source as though there is no open source on windows?
How diverse of an opinion is that?
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoActually, you did sound like you were complaining about the diversity of platforms and environments that open source projects exhibit. And I didn't see him ridiculing you, just asking a question. I read the question as being this: If you're running Windows on a 40GB partition, that implies that you are running something else as your main OS (or you need a new HD). That leaves OS X and Linux, and both are probably more widely used by and closely identified with the open source community, so why are you doing your open source work on Windows? That's how I read it, anyway.
- axod 18y agoYou were complaining about the difficulty in participating with many open source projects. I'd say using windows may not be the best way to do that. I'm all for diversity, but use the best tool for the job, or quit complaining.
