@ilPinguino Yes. But using it as a threat as though it's somehow leverage is hilariously childish.
-
Did that person forgot:
- you don't owe them anything,
- they can sponsor you, be your patreon, buy you a coffee or simply donate (or whatever way they can financially support you),
- submit a PR,
- they can simply fork your repo which will never be more visible then your repo (just like most forks of repos)? -
@Berkmann18 Yes they forgot all of those things. The issue even had a PR that the author closed without explanation (so it becomes legal grey area and thus I've learned not to touch them) and I advised all of the people complaining that a PR would be simple and most of the work will have been demonstrated already (and it's a dumb, stupid easy thing) - moreover, that I've already approved the changes.
Just typical people wanting something for nothing in OSS because they're incapable of doing it themselves. -
@junon I see, just a bunch of pesky people which reminds me of https://twitter.com/youyuxi/status/... which I think should be a thing.
-
So they are willing to fork your repo and add it themselves(?) but not willing to just open a PR?
-
@FinlayDaG33k Empty threats. As if forking will depreciate the value of original project.
-
@Berkmann18 Don't know if that's a good idea. Just because I've seen very active communities with good userbases that might not want to become sponsors. However, as a toggleable switch per project sounds promising.
-
@3rdWorldPoison Tbh, I would still want the status quo on this but with the ability of having issues made by sponsors being prioritised over others.
I mean some users are good and who understand things I highlighted in my first comment, but that's not always the case. -
@dUcKtYpEd Good job, you missed the point entirely. Also why are you scouring my profile directly after calling me a pussy? Mad sus bro.
