  • without actually giving back any code to the commons

    Can you explain how this works?

    Say a contributer downloads v1.1 of floorp, checks the code and makes a PR. Floop sees this and accepts the change and publishes v1.2. If a new contributer downloads floorp, they get v1.2 where they can see the previous merged PR.

    How is it that they are not giving back? I can understand that not being on a repository makes it difficult but it's technically possible.


  • I consider myself rich. This is how i have quantified it

    • Rich enough to avail public transport
    • Rich enough to eat home-cooked meals (enough time to purchase the items as well)
    • Rich enough to spend time on the gym to improve my health
    • Rich enough to spend time on my hobbies (gaming)
    • Rich enough to have spare time to spend with my loved ones
    • Rich enough to afford a nationalized healthcare plan
    • Rich enough to plan a investment technique so that I can retire peacefully

    I am extremely privileged. Sometimes I wonder if I even deserve it. I don't think i will require any more money at this point. But people around me will call me middle-class because i'm not hustling enough. I don't care to be honest; i'm at peace.










    1. Installation process of Linux is complicated to an average Joe (Bootable USB/ISO file/Boot priority/format <- what are these scary terms?)
    2. Lack of availability of pre-installed Linux PCs at physical shops
    3. Lack of availability of industry-standard software
    4. Confusion for an average Joe due to excess choice of distros/application packaging format. Average people don't want choices, they want to be guided.
    5. (Minor point) Most available guides for doing something heavily requires terminal usage which can be daunting to new users
