You need to learn how to explain your ideas to other humans in more accessible language, because this isn't it. Your website tells me nothing and neither does your explanation.

You need to ask questions. I can't do anything with people who just give up and start demanding things to make sense.

You assume too much context from people. If you know the problem space I'm sure your explanation is technically correct. But random people do not have that preknowledge.

Latest release is from five years ago, unfortunately. The project seems mostly abandoned.

The git log says differently. Not everything needs a "release" to be alive.

I agree in general, but this project HAS releases; At least, it had until a certain date. So if you jump to the releases page, it gives the impression that the project is now dead. If they have abandoned that model, they should at least write it somewhere.

> What does lab-grown meat have to do with software Part of my values for open technology, open things in general, is how it accelerates innovation. Software is not always and end. It is a means. When "free" software demands we die on a hill for a cold shower in the dark, as they did during the Web 2.0 era, they are chasing some abstract good while creating real harm.

I care about a lot of different kinds of freedom, like freedom of speech and information, not just software. What all kinds of freedom have in common is that people who only advocate them when it's a convenient means to an end do not believe in freedom, and more often than not are enemies of freedom who seek to undermine it. Political extremists advocate for free speech in order to further their agenda, but when give…

I PR'd a sqlx today. What did you do?

Look at this giant tirade you sent at me.

Telling consumers that they aren't allowed to pay for open source is like telling them only programmers are drive its creation it. All you see is mOnEy. Do you think we want to go back to a barter economy?

I have had enough of these conversations. Most of the time those opposed to money being used to produce open source have become so fixated on something some completely unrelated company did and then generalize it to everyone.

I will make you regret this attitude someday. I will break the back of this ideology that has done so much harm to open source by telling consumers they should just suck it up and stop liking Web 2.0 apps while offering them nothing, no means, no sustainable options.

Get fucked. The only thing the racket you're running is for is to skim money off of donations. If you wanna even be successful at that, try learning some English first.
