it's better not to publish open source code because somewhere down the road, you might make a decision that some crowd doesn't like

I see we're going with the "woke cancel culture ruined comedy" argument.

Mate, if you're going to take your ball and leave over the slight possibility that you might have to answer to some criticism one day, you're not really living in the civilized society that I do. It seems kind of pointless to even talk to you.

What a load of brainrot. You're a psychopath if you believe it's okay to campaign against a volunteer developer for the sin of having created free stuff in a way that doesn't 100% aligns with your values. On reddit, lemmy, fucking Xitter of all places, on Discord, on Github. Yup. Totally normal way to treat a guy who's been pivotal to gaming on linux for 2 decades while you sat on your collective asses.

I get that we live in an ultra-individualistic moment of history, where people like you feel empowered to shit on the efforts of others. I get that the current geo/politic/economic situation has you convinced that you can do anything to anyone without any repercussions ever. You're just learning by example after all.

I also get that the social media climate would have you believe this is normal human behavior. But it is not. Fuck you and your ilk.

to shit on the efforts of others.

The efforts of AI, you mean.

Truthfully, I wonder if we even need that guy's 20 years any more. Maybe he should retire.

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Gloves are off.
