@nihilazo @calcifer @plexus there is LOTS of code which I'm glad people (including but not limited to your interlocutor) have released as-is, explicitly without the promise of unpaid support. it's a great kind of open source and we should do more to make it work, by designing software which is easily extended, adapted, or forked.

@daveliepmann @nihilazo @calcifer @plexus this entitled attitude has led me to release way less code, so I guess you’re getting what you want in some Pyrrhic victory sort of way…

@jack @daveliepmann @nihilazo @calcifer @plexus me too. Maybe we need a GitHub-alike that has a different set of social expectations and social tools for the "here's some code as-is, where-is" case.

@jack @daveliepmann @nihilazo @calcifer @plexus Seriously, Jack? Just software as-is without any support can be immensely useful. Not just to use or run, but also to learn from or use bits of.

I can recommend ignoring these entitled pricks. They are being a net-negative to open-source and free software.

Browsing the (not obscured) source of one of your fxhash projects got me started there, so thanks!
