Surely, if nobody is using the software, then there’s no incentive to keep making it.

Making a tool you or the company you work for need yourself, fun, learning, community, doing good, showing off, status, being remembered, (even if it’s just in a circle of 10 people)…

Marketing generates interest. Interest gets users. Users (hopefully) get donations and/or contributions to the project.

Irrelevant for the vast majority of open source projects, which will never be financially profitable.

why not be clear and avoid wasting people’s time as they try to figure out what exactly a project is about?

Maybe because the volunteers working on the project in their free time are programmers, not marketers or good communicators?
Also, they aren’t wasting anybody’s time by creating useful software and giving it away for free.

I realize I’m being confrontational towards you, but this mindset of demanding things from people who literally give away free stuff with no strings attached rubs me the wrong way, every single time. And this mindset is much too prevalent, even to the point of harassing, insulting and threatening open source devs for choices they make in their projects.

The devs owe you nothing. If you don’t like what they do, simply don’t use it.
There are other options out there, but they may come with a $23/month price tag.

Open Source software is not a product that needs marketing.
The devs making Gimp gain literally nothing from you downloading and using it.
Stop applying capitalist logic to one of the few aspects of life that haven’t been monetized yet.

I hope they make it in time for Debian 13 to include it.

Have you tried element?

Small phones cost the same to manufacture, have a smaller battery and less surface area to radiate the processor’s heat.
So all the specs are lower, but you can’t adjust the price accordingly, so they wouldn’t sell.

Concorde was cancelled because one crash instantly turned it into the least safe plane statistically, and demand was dropping.

XcQ the link stays blue

OK but how the FUCK did r/forcedcreampie survive the purge?

Twitter
X

Wayland

Didn’t know that X runs inside Emacs, but it doesn’t surprise me.

BUT WHY IS THE RAM GONE?!?

Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.

I feel like that’s something a database should be able to do, no?

Even if you hadn’t misspelled it, replying RTFM to people who ask what an acronym means is nonsensical and rude.

Which manual???

And while RTFM can be expected to be understood here, LKML without context can most certainly not. I’m a sysadmin by trade, I’ve been using Linux exclusively for 15 years, I’ve patched and compiled my own kernels, and I didn’t know that acronym. Cause I’m no kernel developer.

What programming in Whitespace is like.

I’ll be honest, this sounds interesting, but I have no idea what you’re even trying to say.
Where does the $2700 price come from?
Does it support Linux or not?
Are you happy with it or not?
What’s LKMS?
I’m really struggling to even parse the basics from your post.

Can we stop using completely ambiguous and ungooglable names for software? Granted, Teams is still the worst offender.

Same exact thing here.

Your options are to test Stable instead, or wait till the Testing live images are available.
Since the supported way to install Debian is always via Stable, the Testing images are really only there for devs and bug squashers to test the installer itself before it’s released.
