I love being accused of a bunch of things.

😂

I'm still going to put out an update, that I work on, in my free time, for free.

Though, it's probably going to be my last one.

It has nothing to do with people like the one quoted. I've made software for 20+ years, I've run into neck beards like this in real life.

In the past 8 months I've decided to live life more in person than virtually.

Thanks again for everyone who has contributed, it has been a fun hobby.

🚨 Ojo con @[email protected] un cliente de Mastodon :alerta: Ayer publiqué un toot (https://xarxa.cloud/@t3rr0rz0n3/115256089152445591) comentando por encima mi opinión sobre esta aplicación. Hoy quiero dejar un hilo más detallado para explicar por qué Trunks no debería considerarse una opción fiable. 🙅 Dentro hilo! 🧵

I'm sincerely grateful that my livelihood isn't tied to the whims of people who want to spark controversy where there is none.

I feel sad for any other indy fediverse developer who gets harassment like this otherwise.

Maybe that's another reason this place never received much traction? Idk. I won't speculate.

Cheers.

I'll probably still keep paying the bills behind the project to keep it running for a good long while.

Then one day, like a Sand Mandala, if will disappear.

Sorry, @trunksapp but you were the one who said your software is “free” but not open source. Here’s the issue where I asked you: https://github.com/trunks-social/trunks-public/issues/335

Therefore, it’s not open source, it’s proprietary software. As a user, I have no idea what your Mastodon client is actually running.

What feels dishonest is that you even expect users to report issues and help you with translations without offering any transparency.

Sorry if your idea was just to take advantage of the community.

@t3rr0rz0n3 free doesn't mean open source, on what planet would it mean that?

Free means you don't pay for it.

@trunksapp If you don't pay for a software because it's "free", that doesn’t make it open source — it means it's proprietary. Is that clear or not?

On GitHub I explicitly asked you about the license and the source code. Your only reply was: "It's free but not open source."

So the closest to your own definition is that your app is Freeware software.

That still means that you — and only you — can see the code, while nobody else can.

Is that clear enough, or should I draw you a picture??

@t3rr0rz0n3 I honestly have no idea how you came up with these rules. I nver claimed this was open source. Your statements are libelous accusations at this point. I sincerely hope you recognize that you're just being a dick.

@trunksapp @t3rr0rz0n3

I don't see the "29 permissions" and the OP fails to list them.  

This looks more like a classic Xitter clout posting rather than an advice

@t3rr0rz0n3 ok, so, what permissions look suspicious to you?

A lot of them seem to be brand-specific to update notification badges.

Not defending trunks, I don't use it anymore, but again. Rather than the fact that the code is not open source, I don't see anything wrong with the app.

If your post is about "trunks is not open source", well that's it..

But you go beyond that by mentioning "29 permissions" without going further and explaining what's wrong with that.

@axoneko te lo voy a decir bien claro: si no te parece raro ni excesivo 29 permisos y un tracker el problema lo tienes tú.

@t3rr0rz0n3 vaya, entonces no te tomaste la molestia de investigar que son esos permisos...

Ok

@axoneko están en la web que te pasé. Para que quiere un cliente de Mastodon saber las redes wifis que tu dispositivo encuentra? Justifica eso, no me vengas a dar lecciones.
