Yet you still give them money by using their app
Windows 11 takes your money, gives you ads, sells your information and ignores your bug reports and feature requests
KDE is free, ad-free and open to contribution
I think we have a clear winner here
why do some People , type like this
As the CEO of a company that makes its money from running a website, shouldn't he at least be aware of the operating expenses?
The censored words make this unreadable
Why can't I see the first letter of each line?
You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.
causing users to suggest that Reddit admins are interfering with their art (there is no evidence so far that would prove this)
If you watch the time lapse, you'll see that the guillotine was wiped away in an instant, which would either require mass coordination or admin privileges. There's also the fact that it was removed in chunks, not pixel-by-pixel. Also, it was proven last year that one of the mods didn't have a cooldown.
Reddit has been thrown into chaos because the company began charging for access to its API
No, it's because they began charging an amount that isn't affordable to third-party app developers and with very little notice. They also lied about being willing to work with developers and they made false allegations against Apollo's developer.
