By making that comment you did engage with it… Not commenting at all would have been disengaging…

That makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. For some reason I never factored that individuals were extending apps for their own use cases lmao

I feel like Linux alternatives often falter by trying to offer as extensive of a feature set as the proprietary options. GIMP would be better if it simplified it’s menu’s and focused on offering a strong central feature set, then expand on that core over time to offer a powerful workflow of it’s own.

I noticed this especially with FreeCAD, which is trying to do like 12 things for some reason? Just offer intuitive parametric cad and focus on it. We don’t need OpenSCAD inside FreeCAD because OpenSCAD is already it’s own thing for example.

Would not mind at all if consoles got lumped in and forced to allow alternative app stores

You even see this with games that were insanely cash grabby from ten or so years ago. Borderlands 2 made you pay for every level cap increase and tiny piece of updated content as it rolled out. The handsome collection fixed that, but it’s still true that it really tried to toll you at every corner. Game is still highly regarded though.

I wonder if self hosted fediverse stuff could gain a bit of traction 🤷

You could at least act ignorant rather than trying to logic your hatefulness
