i’m afraid that’s the exact case, and i’m considering deleting the post and never posting again.

is there an opensourceshitposting community

the issue is about integrating a third party device, owned by a corporation to an open source platform.

gotta be honest with you, i don’t know what the situation is. i’ve been following the project for a long long time, but dunno their inner workings

i’m laughing at the reply. i don’t think it’s a disgrace. i think it’s a good example of what happens when bloodsucking corpos take it too far. they not only squeeze their employees but force people working on an open source project to work for them, for free as well.

i don’t know why, why would you ask me that? your comments are increasingly hostile. i’m following a repo, i saw a comment, i find it funny.

sherlock here, jeez.

i guess someone can take advantage off you for only so long before you snap

yep, i’m dumb. i’ll ask the guy if he is ok with me posting. will take the post down if he is not ok

damn i’m dumb. i’ll get in touch with the guy, if he wants me to delete the post

i’m actually posting this cause he is actually going to stop maintaining, exactly because of the reasons you listed. it’s sad cause he is a pretty chill dude

i honestly did not know that. can you pm me if you can actually find the repo. i will repost.

i cannot agree more with you.

i’ve been following that project for some time and this is not the first time something similar has happened. never mind his helping, there has never been any trickle down to him 😂 i kinda feel for him

Well most big distros offer tech support for companies, if they pay for their time, right?

What lawyers 😂 it’s a small repo of a pretty handy tool.

rant, i’m imagining, comes from a place of years of abuse the poor guy suffered

i kept it anonymous on purpose, i don’t want to advertise. didn’t ask the guy if it’s ok to screenshot his comments

it’s the other way around honestly. the guy is pretty solid when an actual user inquires or opens an issue. the bug reported is from a company that is trying to integrate their custom commercial product on top of the open source platform. it’s pretty shady practice if you ask me

:) maybe i should’ve given more history.

the guy is super helpful with issues i’ve had, or, issues that other ordinary users have had. but a bunch of companies are leeching off the stack and they really don’t actually contribute. they try to implement stuff, which break stuff, and then innocently post help requests. they build a commercial product on top of a free stack. what developer wouldn’t be pissed

I’ve been checking that repo for many years. The guy is pretty chill, but several companies have taken advantage. They use the stack, post massive integration issues and demand free labor. Building a commercial product on top of a free open source software is pretty awful practice tbh
