@sharkfucker420 It’s a good thing “A Modest Proposal”[1] wasn’t titled “The Benefits of Cannibalism” because I guess people would have taken that at face value as well.
@brickfrog @far_university1990 The dev saying it’s about “information on how to fund the project” is being… misleading. Windows binaries from the project are paywalled, so alternate builds being distributed via Winget presents a pretty clear threat to that funding by being free and more convenient.* They’re well within their right to not distribute their own builds for free, but the misleading way it’s framed here is not endearing… especially given this is a fork of another piece of FOSS software that will happily provide you Windows builds.
* As an aside, it really is so much better to have stuff distributed by a package manager. Who the hell wants to download an installer from Patreon for every new release, honestly. Some devs drive me crazy with their insistence on asinine distribution channels.
