No, this is not adequate justification for such behavior towards volunteer FOSS maintainers.

So obviously the guy is behaving like an entitled jerk, but it’s also surely counter-productive (volunteer maintainers are unlikely to respond well to plain rudeness)? Unless the goal isn’t a productive outcome, but just to be mean?

That’s too much.

I came from Fira Code to JetBrains Mono to MonoLisa (several years each) then finally settled on Berkeley Mono and refuse to use anything else!

You have a .sops.yaml with some Age public keys, and then you run “sops secrets.yml” to create an encrypted file.

If just using random bytes, you still need to make decisions about how to serialize, put it in a URL, logging etc so you’re basically just inventing you’re own format anyway for a problem that’s already solved.

Adding more guidance and nudges doesn’t prevent capable users from succeeding, it just annoys them. But it means the lowest common denominators have a higher chance to succeed, which is much more valuable than level of annoyance.

And that’s pretty the point of accessibility.

I unsubscribed (just the free rss) regardless of their retraction.

Well, you left a cryptic comment that multiple people couldn’t understand. And then you refused to explain it.

Neat trick! I don’t think I’ll namespace everything this way, because there’s some aliases and commands I run so often that the comma would get annoying, but for other less frequently used helper scripts then this will be perfect!

Oatmeal is a more specific term than porridge, because porridge isn’t necessarily made from oats (eg, rice in Asia).

Though in the UK, when someone says “porridge” they almost always mean oat porridge or oatmeal.

That seems roughly equivalent to my unenlightened mind!
