Yeah I was just being sarcastic. I actually thought the article was satire at first. Idk there's probably truth to it.

I can see your point, and it seems less slimy in that context. But every time I see a paid subscription for more features, it feels to me like just paying as a means to an end, rather than supporting something bigger than myself. Yeah I&#x2

I've always been a rather ambitious person. I made this post knowing that there isnt really a good viable option for making a notable amount of money while remaining open source. So I was seeing if people would help brainstorm novel te

Youve raised some good points. I'll take them into consideration.

This is really insightful, I often write little bash scripts to solve annoyances on my system. But I never realize that those bash scripts could be the seed to plant something larger, like an actual full featured tool that solves the origin

I don't think I'm in the position to try making a living off a service yet, I just want a little passive income. I'm still a junior developer. Maybe something like $400/month. But I despise the idea of viewing users&#x2F

I understand I'm not under obligation to, but I do feel obliged to make software that people actually want to support, rather than just playing another bill for another means-to-an-end. And Ill definitely be transparent about my desire

Any servers you recommend? I just posted here because I know theres a lot if high-level engineers here, and I'd love to meet someone I could help and learn from. Discord would definitely also be a good avenue.

I've been using Arch Linux for about 6 months now— on both my work laptop and desktop at home I've spent a LOT of time adjusting both of them for their use-case. My laptop is mainly for dev stuff, and my home desktop is the same

Ahhh okay makes sense. Yeah its truly grotesque. But money is a different kind of game. They see OSS as low hanging fruit. Idk if licenses like GPL would keep them at bay, but I think it might be an avenue more OSS developers should go down

Is that really how source-available works? I mean whos stopping me from screenshotting and using tesseract or some other OCR tool to get the actual no-bullshit source code

by anbardoi 2y ago
That is, if "source-available" means that I can adjust the code to what I want it to be. If not, then it is not what I want.

For me, they're both included. I have no qualms with paying for good software if I have the ability to learn how it works and customize it to my liking. What I absolutely loathe, is closed-source that is useful to me, but with obviousl

You know, I often wonder if I'll ever receive an encouraging or somewhat kind response on this forum. That's probably a lot to ask from the internet in general. But could you elaborate on what reason you mean? You mean learning ho

I understand the sentiment for this article, but I disagree with the part about using open source mainly to avoid paying for software. I use open source because I like having the ability to learn how it works. If I can't know how a pro

But there's no email or username. No identifier. That's what makes it useful from a privacy standpoint. That, and the only way a user can login is if they upload a file that generates the matching checksum in my database. Whereas

Right, that is my intention. I loathe the current software landscape of hand-holding and unhealthy dependency on a company to properly handle a user's data. With this method, the user is responsible for their own security, and I just p
