Sucks that people are so shitty about problems that crop up in FOSS. Just be nice about things and it wouldn't be a problem, the developer owes you nothing.

The dev forbids packaging his emulator via licence. I'm pleading that they're the asshole here.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because he kept getting entitled support requests for badly packaged versions of his project in some linux distros.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

No, that came after he changed the license. Linux users installed an old version because that was the newest version that was allowed to be packaged. Then, people gave bug reports and feature requests, based on that old version (which were already addressed in newer versions), mostly because they didn't know any better.

It's not entitlement if you want to use the package manager on a linux system.
