It might not be as polished and pretty but I prefer the simplicity and focus on just doing the thing it was made to do. Medilog is perfect example for this I'd say, it basically just storing text nothing fancy just regular inputs and calculates BMI. But best is I don't have to deal with internet connection and having an account cuz it's all just stored locally and that's why I love lots of Foss stuff it's just simple and doesn't need account and internet access depending what app it is. Still discovering Foss bus so far am very pleased.

Do you have any idea how many jira states our development workflow has?

I wonder how much appetite there is for project managers and scrum masters in the open source world.

What's funny to me is, the agile approach seems like it's a much better fit for open-source, non-commercial software development.

The corporate world and is management practices based around quarters and deadlines can't seem to see how anything could get done without deadlines, but that's usually less of a factor with open-source. People laugh at "scrum masters" because in a corporate environment, all the scrum stuff tends to be mostly performative. But it seems to me that open-source projects with multiple contributors already kind of work in an agile manner.

Closed sauce app isn't always better, and big corp don't have 'all stars' teams (but do have marketing teams) - the question is why the fossy app doesn't change UI design every few months (mostly in stupid ways) :D.

Honestly, I have more free and open source apps and programs on my PC and phone than not because the exact opposite of this meme has been my experience.

Well, for one Lemmy has zero respect for privacy. You can't even delete a comment. A comment is eternal. At least you can do that on reddit.

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Virtually anything you post on the internet is eternal. A better example would be your upvotes as they are also synchronized according to instance admins - something many people do not expect.

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Interesting. I didn't know that about deleting comments. The web client on my instance has a delete button, but is there some kind of issue with that change not necessarily propagating to other instances?

It doesn't bother me much personally since you never really can be sure that you deleted something from the internet. Even if reddit deletes a comment, you can possibly find it on an archive somewhere. Anything you toss onto the web should be something you're comfortable with the world knowing.

Slightly?

Also, let's say it's truly just slightly, how long was it way worse before it became slightly worse?

Because you are the product, not the software that you use.

I think a lot of paid commercial software is significantly better than FLOSS

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

you are thinking of SaaS not Free Software.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Name paid commercial software to replace grep

Repost, but the post is good enough so I don't care

Hah! Like a corporation will improve a product when they're milking it out for a decade.
