open source software developers are getting fed up and are finally recognizing that they can just fucking leave.

the owner of nvim-treesitter gets a really shitty comment from a user saying that the update to a required version broke their workflow
the owner replies saying "hey just pin what you need instead of mainlining it if you need this for an older version"
the shitty user replies back saying "go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people"
the owner says "OK." and ARCHIVES THE REPO

like, holy shit, what a power move.

@chirpbirb damn maybe people will finally start not taking shit for granted

@lunareclipse @chirpbirb nah, they will now shit on the maintainer

then fork it and revert that commit, as well as rename main to master

@lunareclipse @chirpbirb same as what happened with duckstation

the developer got so fed up with linux users he changed license to one that prohibits distribution (i.e. you can use the provided builds or build it yourself, but not package it) - and ofc linux users respected it and quietly left...

...haha no, they declared the developer the devil, and were (and still are) like: I don't care, you can't stop me

@lunareclipse @chirpbirb @alice duckstation is a completely different story

@luana @lunareclipse @chirpbirb how so?

@alice @lunareclipse @chirpbirb @luana I've heard that the duckstation dev is apparently... a specimen.

@solonovamax @lunareclipse @chirpbirb @luana I haven't heard anything, so specifics would be nice

tho idk if that changes anything - like even if he turns out to be fascist for example, I guarantee you that it wouldn't be why people were like fuck you you can't stop me from packaging it

@alice @lunareclipse @chirpbirb @luana I don't know enough about specifics to give them to you, but I think brodie has made some videos on it

@solonovamax @lunareclipse @chirpbirb @luana brodie, the same one who appeared on lunduke's show?

@lunareclipse @chirpbirb @solonovamax @luana in other words: I would not trust brodie's judgement on anything, lol

solo 6h ago

@alice @lunareclipse @chirpbirb @luana I know nothing about any of this, just that he covered it at one point and showed what seemed to be credible information

@alice
I see this a lot on the fediverse, people calling users fascists for using/supporting windows or people saying this like this, its okay to not want to support someone that appeared (once) in a podcast of lunduke(i hate him too) and its true that his frienship with vaxray is questionable, but i cant help but feel like this is a nice excuse to not listen to other points of view, Im not telling you to listen to the opinion of trasphobes/homophobes who'd rather traumatise children than letting people be themselves, Im just saying that people here on fedi take things to such extremes where words like fascist can loose their strong meaning.
Sorry for the double reply just wanted to share my 2 cents on the internet.

@Etch9 @lunareclipse @chirpbirb @solonovamax @luana sigh

1. I have a lot of other reasons to distrust brodie, such as knowingly spreading misinfo about projects I'm perfonally involved in. This is the most obvious one and I'm not gonna write an essay every time I reply to somebody

2. have I ignored brodie's points here because I don't like brodie? no, I haven't if you seen my reply to the followup to that post

3. your other reply is doing the same thing with stenzek - he did some bad things so it's ok to be assholes about his projects

Etch 2h ago

@alice

I didnt know about this and I have assumed too much, sorry bout that.

I didnt see the followup too! another self own.

i replied to this and your other reply in that thread.

the direct reply was to you but what trigghered my message was this section in @luana at wetdry.world (dunno if not tagging her is proper etiquette)
"And yeah if you ask me the fact that the guy decided to drop support for linux and support only the OSes made by fascist companies might be enough to make the guy a fascist even"

fedilab after 4 levels of indentation shows everything in the same "line" and i thought i was replying to a single big thread.
In the heat of the moments i have made many mistakes that made it seem like i was specifically going against you, im sorry, ill try to do better.
