i work at a dealio where we write oss software 90% of the time and put closed source stuff in a special folder so we can charge for it 10% of the time, and then we take our paychecks from some vc but mostly charging for it nowadays, whats that make the software, op

sure, sure, but the way it fails is familiar and anticipated. not like that other software that fails in unprdictable ways that require troubleshooting to resolve

carry on then posted:no, instead the piss is coming from some smug dipshit saying "works on my machine" over and over sure, if you want to live in that strawman reality. "can you give me something to go on so that i can reproduce the issue" is not "worksforme wontfix", the latter attitude doesn't meaningfully exist in reality bug reports might go unanswered but that's not the same thing (lol at expecting anything in a proprietary application issue tracker to go answered ever unless the company is getting hammered on twitter for it)

tbh, what i want out of software is basically the windows 2000 experience. you set it up trivially and then you go and you configure the things you need configured and you don't spend the first 20 minutes fighting endless unskippable handholding and wizards and guides and prompts and toasts and notifications. at no point is the operating system pestering me to do anything. some linux is like that, but unfortunately at the end of the day you're using linux

ok dunno why you're so focused on defending the honor of not-linux. just saying, there's a better world out there. not perfect by any means but, perhaps better. i don't do any sort of multimedia creation though so maybe that's why things more or less work for me. i would never suggest anybody inflict garbage like gimp or krita or whatever upon themselves. people in that line of work would surely be better served by a mac or ipad pro or w/e.

linux people fail to comprehend their own level of computer brain. they don't understand what it's like to not know what a file descriptor is. this is why their advice is terrible and their perceptions of ui are confused

yeah. it also does recipe imports and stuff like that. i think the general "shared lists" from ios is free, and then if you pay for it you get a webapp, recipe import, and some other stuff that doesnt matter for me i think i bought a year of it after using it for several years basically just to throw some money their way bc the app is great. probably won't subscribe again whenever the period runs out (maybe it already has, idk)
