Don't be that guy.
When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.
Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.
Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.

Don't like it? Pay for your software :)
I agree, BUT, you should pay anyways. FOSS developers should be paid
Show me your winrar license!
It is not FOSS, so I don't pay for it. Checkmate :)
I sometimes feel like I am the only one with that file. Yes sir, I sometimes feel sad when a good piece of software doesn't have a donation button or license to buy. Even if it does nothing.
Ditched Windows long ago though.
Now flathub has a built-in donate button (for some software)!
It would be great if it is implemented in gnome software too, so I don't need to search on flathub to donate to developers.
I wish nix had something similar as I rarely use flatpaks
Yep, I feel that too. There is too much gratis software that's actually good and I want to pay for but many FOSS developers are scared to ask for money for some reason
I only used winrar when I was a kid. I've been using linux (and macos) for most of my life and before that I used 7zip for my zipping needs, so no winrar license for me.
Most people happily will. So the year of the Linux desktop will always be n+1
The nightmare just crawls out to our reality when paid software is less developed on and more buggy than free Open Source software.
That’s because the people making it are doing it for a job rather than for the love of it. (Except me. Surely I don’t do that.)
Did you know that "payed" is a naval term. See Grammarly on Payed for more information
Haha whoops. Thanks
The funny thing is that since it's an actual word the spell checker might not be of any use to see that it might not be the word you're actually wanting to use. And with the amount of people using "payed" instead of "paid" the dictionaries will probably include "payed" as an alternative way to conjugate "to pay" in the currency sense.
Uh. The spell checker doesnt work on my phone either way. I got lazy to fix anything on my GrapheneOS
