Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Thats the point. People should realize that just because someone is doing some software as a hobby doesn't mean he doesn't need to earn money. YOU PEOPLE, IF YOU USE GREAT SOFTWARE PAY FOR IT PLEASE. Don't let great FOSS software die out, and donate. Just give those 20$, its not much for you (some shitty chineese gadgets), and its so much for devs if everyone do that. Wherever you want to buy some chineese gadget, donate it to actually great software instead of chineese scammer please.
The fuck is this stupid ass meme format lol

You've never worked on software in a big company have you?
There are definitely a lot of brilliant engineers working at companies like Microsoft, Google, and Apple, they just get hamstrung by management.
I can only speak for myself, but I used to love to get home from work and contribute to free software projects I found interesting. Since I got a good paying tech job at a big company, the last thing I want to do is more of the same when I get home. (having kids around the same time probably had an influence too).

OK who changed the wojak into a beautiful woman?
It was on Lemmy World's All[0] less than 10 days ago.
Yeah, that's where I pulled it from.

Organic Maps is the upgrade over Google Maps.
You're not wrong. I use it a lot. it's super for short local trips and maybe medium trips.
When I asked it to go a few states over, routing cost me a couple of hours last time before I realized something was off.
Use it, but scrutinize it.
The same should be said for any GPS app.
Card end up down pedestrian paths because the driver didn’t think about what the GPS was telling them.
I use it on my daily basis. Never disappointed me in about 2 years now. So yeah, great app. (Sometimes I use waze too to avoid you know :)
The only reason I use Google Maps is I use an old ass phone with limited storage space, and it won't let me remove Google Maps.
But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.
There are a few examples where the foss version of the app became the best one. I am having trouble remembering others. But I think BitWarden is just as good as any paid password manager.
Or Blender
Depending on what you're trying to create blender is very easily beat by other programs. Almost every time a friend watches me use blender I'll get hit with "this would be so much easier in fusion 360"

And if it's so good, why haven't they released an Open Source 2?
If you like open source THAT much, why don't you marry it??
Fork me, baby 🫦

Sometimes slightly worse. Like LibreOffice.
Sometimes actually better, like VLC.
Sometimes about the same, like the latest version of MuseScore (older versions were, in fact, quite a bit worse).
But sometimes, like with older versions of GIMP (I'll admit, I've not tried its latest major version release candidate) it's significantly worse.
Krita isn't that much worse than Photoshop/CSP for digital illustration. That said, going back to CSP after a year was such a relief I didn't know I needed. So many little stumbling blocks removed.
Libreoffice is slightly worse because all the proprietary office suites keep lowering the bar for everyone to follow them. It's not a quality issue, it's a never ending contest to figure out how to complicate writing a simple letter so that everyone has to buy only your software.

"Slightly worse". I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the "just works" aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, "oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you" wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.
Lol, since the last major update I can't type a tilde or a backtick, presumably because it doesn't recognize my keyboard type?? And I had to install another program that prevent Apple Music from opening each time I connect/disconnect bluetooth headphones?? Or to add week numbers to the calendar widget. Even Gnome isn't that bad.
I had that from the start... It cannot distinguish some keyboards, and I have two versions of my layout I have to switch between. All keybords work the same on linux, but mac, nah.
And updates? Holy shit! They broke ssh! It was broken like a month. Ssh connections just died as 'corrupted' all the time. And they don't hotfix it asap? How can a company trust to use them as a work laptop if they break it and don't fix it?

Slightly worse? I can actually sort and the video player actually works, instead of whatever the FUCK was going on with the other place, for literally ever.
That sounds like exploitation of free labor with extra steps and a vegan coat.
If we're talking Lemmy and Lemmy clients, I'd argue it's a helluva lot better. For one, I can rotate my fucking screen
Hell, the thing that got my to switch was when they got rid of third party apps, because of how absolutely abysmally shitty the official app is
They made the RTX version, so now I can see it in 4k, thank you developers!
