s1nistr4 , 2 months ago to technology in Why Microsoft is a national security threat

As much as I like FOSS it’s significantly harder to fund.

With proprietary you keep the source code, ship the app, collect data & sell it, and charge for a premium /subscription. They then use that money to fund talented devs and give them deadlines to make good software.

With FOSS it’s largely contribution work by people who work on it in their free time. They use donations or paying for enterprise support, and if they do add a subscription service / premium version you can just modify the code and get it for free.

That’s largely why FOSS software is behind, what’s the direct incentive for someone to make it good?

Dems do the same thing with Trump. Moral of the story both sides suck

s1nistr4 , 7 months ago to android in Best Nova Launcher substitute?

Nova has a monopoly on quality, nothing even comes half close.

However, a decent FOSS launcher is Lawnchair, use the latest builds from github actions, it works fairly well and can allow for basic home screen customization, folder customization and custom icons
