(lemmy.world)
Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P
UX = user experience
Obligatory xkcd comic.

Mega corporations are apparently equivalent to solitary, independent developers now.
Seems so, sadly.
Apparently for some every developer should work only for love and affection from their cardboard box and release their software as a free-for-all, but at least feature-complete before they starve, or else it gets a negative review.
You do know that it's possible to charge for, pay for and financially support open source software, right? There are even things like Patreon as well.
Facebook was built using open source software...
People don't like to make sacrifices today to avoid a potential disaster tomorrow. Especially when that disaster is only theoretical. (See the climate crisis.)
At work I've started taking an 'I told you so' photo of problems on the day they are identified so I can bring it up at 6 months later when it finally fails. Would recommend.
