    Controversial take but I think It’s weird how this community is so “FOSS is great even if it doesn’t have the 1 feature you need” then will turn around and say “Your unpaid labor for the good of this community is not acknowledged and because you wanted to make a UI in a language you know I will not only refuse to use it, but will shit on it”

    Like I get you don’t like electron but there’s a lot of work that the developer put into it. I think that work should be appreciated instead of clowning on them! To use the line every terminal lover uses when someone asks for a UI: “It’s open source, make it yourself.” (note, I’m not saying terminal only programs are bad. It’s just annoying to be selectively “do it yourself” when someone else is asking for it and this meme when you’re asking for it)

    (Unless this is about closed source programs, then yeah that’s fair.)
