  • Shit, I’m even grateful for when you all tell me off.

    Oh fuck off!

    Just kidding! I haven’t seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.

    A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I’ve done so and everyone was nice about it.



  • Which, by itself, is fine. But their contributions to open source are very one-handed and pale in comparison to how much they benefit out of it.

    Hell, my company is no different. They allocate one day out of the year as “open source day” where devs can contribute back to open source projects on company time. But it must be something we already use.

    No personal development. No non-essential libraries.

    We make literally millions off of these libraries and we don’t even contribute monetarily.

    If these companies gave even 0.01% of their revenue to these essential libraries, they’d never even have to ask for money.
