@akareilly@hachyderm.io > the intended end users ... users Intended by (most of) FOSS authors end users are people who do want to learn, who do want to help, or both. Plus people who instead of the former two do want to send enough money to let developer work and live. How did you come up with the idea that it was you? @gracjan@mastodon.online @welp_welp@defcon.social @mikalai@privacysafe.social

@ohir@social.vivaldi.net @akareilly@hachyderm.io @gracjan@mastodon.online @welp_welp@defcon.social As someone writing code, that felt like "nerd harder". And I don't like slavery. I was talking about original comment. And yes. I 100% feel your story. 1000%

@ohir@social.vivaldi.net You mentioned me, but your reply is to the second post in the thread (“the intended end users”), which I didn't see. It was posted after my reply, which was to the first post. I wasn't talking about projects made by individual people in their spare time. I did mean (which I should have made clearer) the exclusion of Linux users by companies and large teams, who make cross-platform software (sometimes FOSS, sometimes proprietary), who assume all Linux users are comfortable with the CLI.
