Naletim na ova 2 članka : The future of Linux and Flash explained - It's your fault i The state of the Linux community , i primjetim se u ovome (između ostalog):
" ... Bottom line, it's your fault. ... You, who feel so supreme in your ability to install operating systems and pretend to care about freedom and open-source thingies, you are the ones who stall the progress most. You run adblocks, because you want to screw the system. You run with javascript turned off, so that evil Google cannot track you. You refuse to use payware software... Some company tries to sell their software for Linux, it's boycotted ... "
Malo sam zastao nakon ovog dijela:
- "... If you really want to help your favorite sites and projects, you need to focus on money. This is the one thing that will really make it possible for the creators and owners of said sites and projects to continue their work. Because no matter how friendly the community is, neither reviews, nor bugfixes, nor kind words will finance servers, bills or anything of that sort. Here's a bold claim - the Linux community likes to take, it does not like to give. "
- "... We all think we're being fair and kind and considerate, and how the free and open-source models really thrive. We also like to take credit for making it happen, but the thing is, the community as a whole plays a very small part, and most of the burdens falls on the shoulders of the people running these project. Lots of time, they give their best for a few years, try hard, try harder, run out of steam and budget, make the inevitable conclusions, and move on."
Naravno, razmišljao sam o doniranju par € s vremena na vrijeme, ali u studentskim danima uvijek se nađe neka potreba
No, kada budem imao redovite prihode definitivno ću podržavat one koji to zaslužuju.
Čisto iz znatiželje, vi koji radite (i plaćate račune etc), imate li običaj ubaciti koji €/$ ?
