@alecaddd @TheFrenchGhosty You're interacting with shop-workers inter-personally so of course you'll say thanks. That is not the equivalent of what you're demanding. The equivalent would be getting in contact with the manufacturers of all the consumer goods you purchase and thanking them for making them. Do you do that?

@alecaddd @TheFrenchGhosty That is a very different thing from what you were talking about. Of course we should always be civil. But, particularly when everything's getting worse, people get pissed off when things get shitter. Humans have emotions. Most human interaction isn't mediated by a HR department, thankfully.

@alecaddd @TheFrenchGhosty To be clear, if I encounter the dev of something I really enjoy using or anything I use where the dev is a *volunteer*, then I'll thank them. But going out of my way to thank the devs who - as paid work - make the majority of software which gets worse and heavier constantly, no, that's insane.

@itsfoss@mastodon.social But we opened the gates and brought in the offering to Athena. I don't understand what went wrong.
