I don’t really agree. If you have a tool to do a thing, share it in case someone else could benefit, just be open about what it is.
Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release
pianoplant@lemmy.world 6 days agoI don’t disagree necessarily, but they shouldn’t be uploading / sharing one-off projects they don’t intent to maintain.

That is a bit of an open source philosophy difference.
Is it better that everyone has open source everything so that anyone who finds the one-off useful can benefit from it?
Or is the software actually not provided “as-is” like the license states and on releasing open source software the community deserves regular updates?
I think that second option is a very entitled path. We are not entitled to the continued used free labor of a random person on the internet.

Yes, but there’s a difference between having your source and binaries available on github and submitting to an app store like flathub.

That’s true to an extent, but I’d disagree wrt something like dockerhub.
