Re: Open source users *are* freetards

This is why I hate Linux. Everything is expected to be free and so most apps are garbage that somebody occasionally maintains when bored. When an app asks for money, it's one of these donation buttons that pops up before a trial run and without any promises of support. Maybe it's a suspicious PayPal link that can't be verified in any way. It's not the right way to do it.

Desktop Linux can never be a success until commercial software is socially accepted. Android became a success because it has both free and commercial software coexisting side-by-side. There's money to be made by building good Android apps with support. (yes, I buy them)
