MjDascombe's Journal: Slashdot Pricks vs. Free Software

I'm not even going to write much about this disgrace. How any single person got modded down as flamebait for commenting against this is beyond me.

You would have thought that a community, most of which are viewing a free site, through an opensource browser, using an opensource kernel powered by free software would appreciate the nature of 'free' software. Are you really arrogant enough to beleive it was coded for you?

I spend a large percentage of my time writing free software, to teach myself, and to help out people to whom it will be of use. Do I care if my programs don't do exactly what you would like? Personally, I don't a flying fuck.

If you want something written, write it. If you want someone else to write it, pay them. If they do it for free, thank them. Don't bitch to slashdot about how what you want isn't being provided for free, because you've done nothing to deserve it.

We're not fucking code fairies.
