After being on Lemmy, I have some kneejerk sympathy.
~~Seems harsh though.~~
[edit: I rescind my harsh comment. It was a classic didn’t read the article situation along with just wanting to mock arch dorks without starting a fight.
So instead: Stop being toxic and demanding arch users! I don’t care if the title is misleading or editorialized or totally false.]
Dude just stated how much of his free time he is willing to provide to others for free and put a line on what he is willing to commit.
And somehow this thread thinks that's harsh or petty?
Is literally any person complaining about this guy setting reasonable boundaries paying him money to do this work?
No they're a bunch of entitled assholes who need a fucking wake up call.
Please see my edit. You’re correct. No one is entitled to someone else’s work.
It’s the same with piracy advocates, actually. People should be able to put boundaries around their work.
