   RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mhoye/116686699570387780

   I agree with this in very large part, although I want to be careful not to read it as dropping the responsibility on individual developers.

   It’s perfectly fair to say, “I made something that might help people, so I’m sharing it, but I don’t have the capacity to support everyone who depends on it.” It’s also fair to say, “This thing would really help me, but I don’t have the capacity/ability to take on responsibility for its maintenance just so I can use it.”

   No •individual• is in the wrong there. It’s a sign of broken systems and broken society that in such situations we so often cannot muster the collective capacity to support that kind of commons — the kind that exceeds the capacity of any individual maintainer — for the good of all of us.

   Just 8 days after I began this thread re: maybe switching to a #FrameworkLaptop, a scandal broke that #Framework directly funded toxic individual FOSS developers.

   It's not clear to me yet whether an outright boycott is warranted, but what's already obvious is Framework acts like a classic VC-funded tech startup in making foolish unforced errors in policy decision-making b/c they're too busy “moving fast & breaking things” to pay attention to important details (such as past CoC violations)…(1/3)

   I’m surprised I haven’t heard more responses from web developers about the change to Safari on iOS and iPadOS regarding web apps. Now every website can be a web app (saved to the Home Screen and opened as a stand-alone app) — not just sites that have been configured a certain way by the developers.

   It’s a big difference for users. Every site gets the same experience. No more mysterious sometimes-it-works-one-way, sometimes-another.

   @joepie91 "if you disagree then you can just fork it" is a response that you'd only get from a developer to shut down genuine complaints often made by users who are themselves not developers and never will be developers.

   It's a callous cop-out at best and a refusal to acknowledge and address poor design or critically missing features at worst.

   @jnodesu @purusov Hey, about:

   > It's Verified on Flathub, which means it's officially maintained by Krita's developers.

   It just mean it got verified and an icon at a point. Not a seal of approval.

   Eg. https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.krita/commits/master/ & https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.krita/graphs/contributors : not a single nickname in this list are part of weekly IRC meeting/decisions, or assigned to official bug-fix (as far as I know).

   It really is a community package, and can be very serious, good, well done, but not officially beta-tested afaik.
