“Less bad?” They ask.

“Well yes, but also just less.”

As a 23 year old man, i quite often get the follow up “whats lemmy” but nothing beyond that.

That’s the idea yes. Heavier users of a tool become incentivised to pay for convenience, and the developers get a cut from that so they can afford to keep working on their code. But since its open source if you can’t pay or don’t want to you retain the option to compile yourself!

Not a concrete example like your asking for but the question has a lot of overlap with the third software freedom

ed the standard editor?!?

I don’t see whats stopping you from doing exactly that ten years ago. What you describe it just tag searching. Plenty of software exists to do that.

Bla bla bla Hyprland is a dyanamic tiling window manager that doesn’t sacrifice on the looks blah blah.

How do people think of stuff to post?
