Pro tip: #OpenSource projects are developed by Genuine Real Humans! Before telling tens of thousands of people something “absolutely sucks,” you could, idk, talk to those humans!

I’m not saying you have to fix it yourself (though PRs *are* welcome…) or even report an issue! Just, like, talk to the people.

You’ll have a more interesting story to tell, at the very least. But you’ll also avoid sending undue abuse to the people behind the project based on your incendiary blog post/video title.

@cassidy I can confirm from personal experience. While on #Akademy2023, Méven Car, one of the main maintainers of Dolphin, fixed a bug right in front of my own eyes! The bug had to do with part of KIO not detecting an NTFS partition correctly and so, not prompting to rename unsupported file names while copying from ext4 to ntfs.

Edit: just read the last paragraph... Yeah obviously, don't be an asshole to developers. Ask politely and most probably they will be happy to help.
