Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 03:45:32 @opensourceopenmind @jonathankoren to be fair, many people are also ungrateful to things they paid for...! |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 03:54:13 @GIMP @jonathankoren Yes, but at least you'll get some funding for development out of it. Maybe even some insight into what features paid users are missing. Right now, complaining is free without much benefit - instead you have to put in time and effort to reply. |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 04:02:21 @opensourceopenmind @jonathankoren Thanks! We do have patreon links for some of the developers, and people do donate. Development direction is partly what interests the volunteers (since they are volunteers!) and partly informed by the thousands of requests and issues we get on gitlab and elsewhere. |
