| schestowitz | What community every had this attitude outside of non free software? | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | One thing that has bothered me for years in the whole FLOSS movement is the attitude towards users, as "lusers." I know that started out as a pun, but it seems to me that it correctly labels the orientation that developers often have. | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | So I asked her. | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | Really? Where have you seen that? I have not seen in any community, least of all the KDE community. The KDE Quality list was a special joy to be a part of. My questions have been treated on Debian mailing lists and other forums. The only place I've run into problems has been LUG lists that were infiltrated by rude people pushing Microsoft garbage. | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | "Luser" to me is a concept that comes from the non free world and is one of the many lies software owners tell everyone else. They tell developers that customers are lusers that the owner separates money from. In the same breath they tell users and investors that developers are lazy slobs that would not make "professional" code without owners whipping them. They also tell investors that developers and customers are tools in | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | money making, that "loss leaders" in "established markets" will be taken over so that the investors make more money at the expense of the less efficient/ruthless company. | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | This series of lies goes back to some basics about companies. A company has obligations to three groups, owners, employees, and customers. Any company that thinks it's OK to screw one of these groups for the benefit of the other two will eventually get around to screwing all three. That's what happens when you think it's OK to screw people. | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | " | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | " | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | I definitely have seen the 'luser' mentality in FOSS. Not so much lately, perhaps as I have ever so slowly begun to catch up with the modern world of computing. | May 11 20:01 |
| schestowitz | But the correct cohort to ask about this would be beginning users who often don't even know how to obtain the information that user lists demand. | May 11 20:01 |

| schestowitz | Hi Sarah, | May 13 17:58 |
| schestowitz | I am still waiting for Dan Brown to get back to me. | May 13 17:58 |
| schestowitz | About a month ago he approached me, seeking to seed some coverage about embedded Linux. I consented although I don't usually reply to PR and sent questions to Mr. Zemlin, as Dan had said he would facilitate it. The embedded event is already behind, so that lateness was hugely disappointing to me. I didn't do anything wrong, I was polite and patient. I also touched bases with Dan. | May 13 17:58 |
| schestowitz | Dan was then silent for several weeks almost as though he was ignoring me after he had offered me (remember it's him who approached me) some Q & A. He still seems to be ignoring me, or at least not communicating with me. He said he would pursue someone else to respond to the question, but that was quite a while back. That's strange. It's usually the PR side that keeps pushing for communication. | May 13 17:58 |
| schestowitz | I am still waiting for him to respond, but to tell you the truth, at this stage I just plan to write an article about what a bad experience I've had with Linux Foundation PR. I haven't composed anything. I am perhaps too patient and I give you guys too much benefit of the doubt here. | May 13 17:58 |
| schestowitz | Imagine spending 10+ years of your life promoting Linux 24/7 only to be treated like this by the Linux Foundation. What do you think the effect would be? | May 13 17:58 |
