You are both right.

Thats where the problem lies it is assumed that open source software has be free.

But the article is not talking about this scenario. They’re specifically talking about open source software that’s also free software:

Your favorite apps run on code maintained by exhausted volunteers.

So it’s perfectly fine for some users to expect the software to be free.

The real problem is that some project owners have a sense of duty to maintain their creations no matter what, leading to burnout, which is the point of the article. The article also details ways to fix it. Some of those involve the users being proactive (e.g. taking the initiative to donate consistently), but ultimately it’s up to the owner to take some action. Like I mentioned, if I publish some code for free, I don’t mind my users to expect that my software will always be free. But if they think I’m going to lose sleep trying to meet their demands without compensation, welp, they are dreaming.

Oh for sure!

I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with this. If the software is free, then it’s free. It’s up to the authors how they want to license it.

Personally, I write code and publish it in the hopes that it will help someone. If someone comes in and says “there’s this bug, fix it!” I will only do so if it will benefit me, or if I feel like it.

Whoops! I had missed that part about struggling with English. You’re a good person. Thanks!

Aw come on! I want to learn! I just don’t want to learn German first.

Edit: D’oh! I had missed the context. All good.

“Squint your eyes”

Picture of two Asian child laborers.

Squint.

Asian.

Hmmmm… feeling edgy today, OP?

Bro. There are people who are developing in Cobol for 50 year old systems.

There are games still being released for the original, 80s-era Nintendo.

So… yeah. Unlikely? Sure. Impossible? Nope.

I dunno. Development? Ask OP.

Who said it was connected to a network?

Who said it was connected to the internet?

Can you use Sublime in evaluation mode?

Thanks!

That’s an excellent point.

Can you make the inverse one? Cow body, human head?

A full frontal nude can be art. That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily safe for work. And things can get veeery specific and veeeery specific with art.

Do I mind nudity in art? Nope. Do I mind an artsy piece in which people are bathing in poop? Damn right I mind. I’d rather not see that. So, if a community allows it, I’ll just move on to a different one.

Well, have you heard about that judge who said that “there’s no way to define what porn is, but that you know it when you see it”?

I think the above can be applied to these cases.

In my opinion, the Norman photo implies nudity. Your photo doesn’t. So the Norman photo feels more like NSFW than your photo. Yours is not necessarily safe for work, though. Having said that, I’m okay with other people having a different opinion.

And in the end, if the admins or moderators have a set of rules to keep things consistent within the community, abide by them and move on. Don’t like them? Go to a different community.

I like it! Thanks!

Can you do mine, please?

Its* core.
