  • This is the same as people who don’t want to pay artists for their work and just say they get paid in “exposure”

    If you are using open source as a company, you should pay the maintainers money, either through hiring them or directly funding the development.

    I donate money to the pieces of software I use every day, because I’m in a position as an individual to, but there are lots of companies that are free riding




  • By creating your own format, you now have to create your entire ecosystem, or add functionality to existing systems to deal with your format. That is a huge undertaking and why media consortiums exist for stuff like JPEG, MP3, MP4, etc etc.

    I don’t know the music ecosystem at all, so I don’t know what open source programs you could modify to support your format, but realistically that could easily be a year+ project.

    If you’re having fun, keep going, but it’s a big challenge





  • SO was incredible. I remember it very fondly circa 2011 thru 2013 while it was still growing and all the questions every thought of hadn’t been asked yet.

    Obviously as time went on, the challenge of organizing and managing questions once a huge base of knowledge had accumulated, proved to be a much more difficult. I don’t think they ever solved that, and ended up rewarding toxic behavior.

    It’s a shame.
