What does he have to with GIMP sellers?
Why are businesses that give away software that can’t be captured and sold again bad, if the software is free to use and any dev can get paid for contributing to its work?
Sorry I thought you asked why I hated VC funded open source software.
And it doesn't have anything to do with people selling something that's free that they made 0 contributions to, I'm just saying I hate VC funded OSS more.
What makes them worse, as you stated your hatred for one more than the other? What was the VC connection with Bitconnet?
Just that they're typically self serving scams. When I think of open source software that's been VC funded I think of Salona. VC funding corrupts incentives of the development process at best and produces outright scams and fraud at worst.
So Red Hat, MongoDB, GitLab, have a development process that is corrupt and should be avoided?
Honestly, yeah. Redhat has an incentive to be more difficult to use than other distros so that you need support which leads you to buying their support.
But my concern is much more targeted at shitcoinery than the generalized case.
shitcoiners burned a lot of people, and VCs showed us a lot of who they are
I was just trying to understand if there is a place for Umbrel and SimpleX and if it would get support for the nostr users since there is VC involved and it’s open source software.
Imagine a block size war wherein the Umbrel devs are big blockers.
Removing power from the user the way Umbrel does is a problem. Minibolt tutorials are the better solution.
Don't know much about simplex, but it doesn't look much different from telegram in terms of architecture, being open source, and being corporate funded. Its always better to run your own server, but having said that, doesn't look terrible so long as you understand it belongs in the same bar of limited freedom as telegram (feel free to correct me like I said I only took a quick look)
