@qdot I have two libraries that are popular but they're in a language I haven't professionally used since 2013. I'm not sure I can recommend it. In fact I'm pretty sure I can't.

@qdot I mean I could get some libs for free and send in patches for say libcurses quite easily.

@qdot The solution: just become a lib slumlord. Own all the libs, don't bother to maintain any, and drink the tears of those who use them.

@qdot The trick is to only make stuff nobody wants to use. Then it will be so much less work.

@qdot Because if you are a company that owns the libraries, you can make your competition run around like headless chickens scrabbling to incorporate the incompatible changes you introduce in every release, instead of actually developing the software that would threaten your market dominance. That's why.

@qdot if your libs are in #python I could take em over if they would have a benefit for me, what ones do you want to not maintain anymore, and what they do?

@qdot I've been subscribing to the libs. It's not as good as owning the libs but at least it has the cloud or whatever.

@qdot @huxley oof, not only that it is a constant pain when tons of people wanna use your code, but then just complain about it… and how you should do it “better/differently” but not actually offer any assistance >.>Like bruh… It is all here, Open-source feel free to fork and do a PR since you are saying you could do it better… I am one person, trying to maintain this damn thing…

@qdot In one GitHub org, I maintain 53. It's… well, it's a burden. And with work being programming, too, I'm too often too burnt out to roll releases at night. At least their in-house changes are pushed to a public branch. 😭It's a TON of work.(Another 28 on my personal GH.)

@qdot the #freesoftware movement was destroyed by free software activists who lost sight of the original mission of making software free and content themselves with owning the libsnobody ever assigned them their copyright again.
