isn't that what they implied?
I'm fine with solumbran seeing the dev's opinions as "wrong", I just find how they base their whole view of the project on that single small disagreement makes them seem like a shortsighted dumbass
Oh that's not at all what they implied. They implied you shouldn't use the project based on the author's opinions. That's very different from implying the author isn't entitled to their opinions.
Boycotting the software doesn't infringe on the author's rights to have a shitty opinion. It's called consequences for being an asshole.
that's what i said??
how am i saying this? i'm saying that the guy is shortsighted for telling people to boycott the software just bc of the dev's opinions
i'm not arguing about the arbitary rights of authors, i'm just saying that boycotting isn't an efficient use of resources
