If I give something for free, it’s my rules. Simple as that. Don’t like it? don’t accept it.

Linus is often a dick. He even acknowledges it. Don’t like it? Well, there are other OS.

I’m not like that, I like being helpful, I actually do many volunteer hours a week, but… I do hate entitlement. I don’t see these people giving Microsoft as hard a time.

Lets keep the Karen constrained, please.

Yeah but you also don’t get to be upset if someone calls you unpleasant. Both things can be true.

  He’s upset because people are bothering him for packages that are out of his control. A similar thing happened recently with OBS where a distro was packaging it in a non-standard way, iirc.

    They’re not being bothered. They are a sensible asshole. Nothing wrong with that, and they are free to express their truth of how they feel. But there’s no evidence of harassment, if they think bug reports and feature requests is abuse then they are in for a rude experience if someone is stupid enough to actually harass them.
    
    They should just take their project proprietary anyways. The license used is a joke. Duckstation is not open source, the license is so restrictive that it is barely source available. They are not ideologically, or in practice, part of the FOSS community. So they’re free to take their toy home with them. They weren’t playing nice with others anyway.

    If you don’t want to see your software packaged in ways outside of your control, is it smart to publish it with a license that allows it to be packaged in ways outside of your control?

    ~11 months ago they relicensed from GPL 3 to CC BY-NC-ND.

    Nah man I maintain a few decently sized packages on github and refusing support etc is perfectly normal but generally you don’t go on this toxic rant and just say “nah man I can’t afford to maintain this” which is very well accepted.

Linus is an ass, but he also doesn’t make problems for other people then blame them for those problems he made himself.

Like this dev is doing. It’s not remotely the same situation.

This guy is fucking with his users, then telling them to fuck off and then bitching people don’t respect him or follow his rules.

While denying he is fucking with people and trying to claim he’s being harassed.

That’s /not/ how that works. It’s your project your rules. But you also can’t be a fuckwad and deny it. While expecting anyone to respect you or what you say.
