  • The social ecosystem around FOSS is so horribly toxic. There’s an “upper middle class” of power user that aren’t quite developers, that insult everyone with less experience, and openly harass the developers themselves. I honestly don’t know how FOSS can expand adoption as long as these people exist. They are a dual-edged sword that disincentivizes both new adoptees and long term app support.



  • I can’t help you so I’m going to rant about something not related.

    Gramps is great once it’s up and running but it’s so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.

    Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of “Create new birth/wedding/etc event” from the person page.
