Have you considered that maybe not everyone is like you?

Lani Taiwan? You mean west Philippines?

No. Sorry. Next time you ask, can you put it on an email please?

1m is nothing for Microsoft though…

Ah yes, so easy. Just change banks bro.

Sometimes I wonder if there are any acual adults using Linux. Lol

Yep, the more you spend here the more you realize it’s just Reddit but ad-ftee lol

This is some sci-fi fanfic level shit lmao

I find that cringe tbh. Just be curious about the other person and talk like a human, not like a creep. Asking shit like “are you trying to get time drunk?” might sound funny to a man, but it is a legitimate concern for women and makes you sound like an arrogant teenager.

Lock someone is a room-wide 24h fMRI or some other imaging technique to get a full recording of a human body working.

Lemmy’s “lefties” think the best way to stop violene is more violence, not sure what’s surprising here.

I see what you’re saying. I guess I’m a bit biased from having had a conversation in the previous days with someone whose idea of “helping” a dev was hounding them with complaints, telling them how to do their job and them blasting them on social media when they answered with a ban.

I guess we agree that it’s up to each dev to clarify what kind of support, if any, they are looking for.

You don’t think money is encouraging? You can also hire people with that money, instead of volunteeras. Idk what devs you’ve been listening to, but I haven’t hear anyone who actively refuses donations or tips for their project.

My point is, if you appreciate someone, put your money where your words are. Anyone can get “encouragement” for free.

Volunteering is good too, I guess, but in general I don’t think people should work for free. At all.

With money? Yeah. Otherwise, don’t bother.

And that got you banned. I’m not sure what your point is lmao.

Well it sounds like you don’t quite empathize with them then. Lmao

On a serious note: Unless you’re signing checks, don’t tell people how to run their shit. (Unless they ask.) If you don’t like it, either put money yon the table or do your own thing.

Imagine having a random McNobody try to tell you how to do your unpaid project the out of the blue, and they they get mad you don’t listen and do what they want when they want

No, if you use violence you don’t fix anything, you jus taking the pendulum to your side so it’s you and your friends abusing power, instead of the others.

Under this logic you should pay royalties to the maker of your brush and the teachers who taught you. Maybe not everything is about owning shit.

Just leave bro, nobody is holding you here.

Because artists need to eat too.
