Always remember: It’s not Democrats vs Republicans. It’s the poor vs rich.
Let’s get all IT people together and fight through the hassle to help friends and family switch to Linux
He can’t do many things. Going to the mars for example. Or building a self driving cars. And soooo much more.
Not that I like it. It’s just how it is.
That may be true technologically. But if the economics don’t add up it’s a bubble.
1·7 days agoWhy do you assume the developer has to implement what could be paid for?
If 80% of your income comes from a single company that pays you to develop the features they want, can you afford to decline specific requests without risking that client? Probably not. Without income diversification, you can quickly end up in a situation where your client dictates your work.
Why is the assumption that devs will give up agency?
Because financial dependence limits choice. When a developer relies on just a few clients, those clients gain leverage over them, making it difficult to turn down requests, even if they’d prefer to.
And why the assumption that all paid requests will be by corporations?
Because private individuals rarely spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get a feature implemented. A more realistic approach for individual users would be crowdfunding or pooling resources to fund specific features.
Then corporations will decide even more where open source projects are going. If you pay me you decide where the project is going, not me.
However, if core development is unrelated to my income, I have full control over it’s fate and don’t need to implement what’s in the interest of some shitty corporation.
Only if it’s for Client specific Extensions not the core project. Basically freelance work. Paid bug fixes and feature requests to core are a big no-go.

Raspberry Pi with Plex?
None of the moneybags will listen, unfortunately. But I’m with you. The rollout of AI was extremely irresponsible. Just to make it profitable as quickly as possible.
