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??

@trunksapp Look, do whatever you want and think whatever you like. What’s clear is that your app is not free/libre software , which means you don’t respect your users.

Your app requires 29 permissions on Android — are we insane here? 🤦 🤯

In any case, it’s you who must prove what your app actually does. To do that, you can simply publish the code.

I honestly hope you realize that you’re being dishonest and that you’re taking advantage of people.

Have a good day.

@t3rr0rz0n3

Actually, you said it was "freemium". But given that there is no paid for "pro" version and there are no paid for extras, that's clearly not so.

I don't really understand your issue. If you don't like Trunks, don't use it.

I do, and I do.

@trunksapp

@t3rr0rz0n3

And the problem with that is?
