  • Round and round and round.

    It’s the same all over again. MS got a slap on their wrists with the browser choice tool they had to introduce in Windows 7.

    Then everyone forgot about it and they started forcing Edge on users. Now they get a slap on their wrist again and the same will happen in another 10 years.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s really awesome and I’m glad that EU regulations actually have a impact. But I still wish for more, more permanent and stricter anti monopoly laws.




  • Being a maintainer / project owner is not always fun, but it’s rewarding in a sense that you’re able to offer something useful to others.

    I don’t like providing free support via github issues. And that’s usually what happens, you don’t get many developers that put care into bug reports. Instead it’s mostly users that don’t really understand, sometimes entitled, sometimes really nice but completely wrong.

    However I really appreciate those that do care or at least follow the template and make an effort.

    I see issues as a form of a necessity to help the software improve, but I’ve chosen to no longer pay too much attention to it because it’s just draining.

    Support is draining, and I respect everyone who does it, those who provide support for free even moreso.
