Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

I've been on open source since the early 90s. I know damn well how people make money off of it and who makes money off of it.

I support none of it if it starts including tracking and ads. It goes against the whole mindset. Google fanboys love it though.

That's why there is an option to disable ads... Everyone wins unless they think this person's work should be distributed for free.

Then pay to remove the ads. Someone has to pay at some point and it's either you or the guy already spending his time to make the app.

How do you think OSS has been funded since the early 90s?

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
