look i dont got much money in the bank but people need to start donating to foss creators cause it’s getting dumb, musescore sold out to ultimate guitar and theyre going to shit cause guess what? no one gave money. the linux distro im using is ome of the biggest jn the world and it barely scrapes 1000 usd a month. when i get a job i’ll start giving money but people seriously need to chip in, im not mad at sync at all i get it
FOSS = principled free software without obligation because the labor was “donated.”
That’s what I’m learning on lemmy. It’s blowing my mind.
Edit: exiting to make sure I’m understood. I get FOSS. I understand it’s role. What I’m learning is there is a while corner of the internet determined not to spend money on software.
And feeling significant moral outrage if someone else does. It’s bizarre. I’ve seen religious people less zealous.
I’m sorry but how is musescore going to shit? The online subscription is totally separate from the open source app which has had some major development lately and looks and functions amazing.
That being said I agree with your sentiment, the funding for these projects needs to be more robust.

also yeah it stands for free open source software and FLOSS means it’s licensed in a way which prevents it from being closed off later on
theres no obligation but if they dont get paid theyve no obligation to help us, it’s mutually benefitial
