I wanted to comment, and I did. And I did say a fair point, in my opinion.
The fact that you'd rather have me shut up speaks volume about what you consider a contribution in FOSS, and frankly I hope it's not a reflection on how you approach the real world, because you're in for a rude awakening.
If your only comment is "thanks for pressing a button", yes it's better to just shut up.
I'm not the only one who thinks so -- your comment was downvoted and flagged pretty quickly.
>speaks volume about what you consider a contribution in FOSS,
How does my suggestion to not leave negative one-liner comments speak volumes?
What was your contribution here again? Trying to make someone feel shitty? Awesome contribution.
>frankly I hope it's not a reflection on how you approach the real world, because you're in for a rude awakening.
Suggesting that someone not be negative to someone else purely for the sake of it?
Yeah, rude awakening coming my way for sure.
To truly believe that uselessness (such as advertising the pressing of a button) should be rewarded is terribly short-sighted.
That's what I meant when I said that it spoke volumes about what you consider to be a contribution in FOSS. If you think that saying 'oh, I forked a dead project to keep it alive' and posting it without having accomplished anything is anything more useful or productive than pointing out how useless that is, then I'm afraid your definition of contribution is as shallow as your understanding of constructive criticism.
On a more personal note, I'm growing weary of spoon-feeding you. It is not very complex yet you still struggle to grasp the simplest of explanations.
Lol. The choice isn't between 1) be negative just for the sake of being negative; or 2) celebrate.
A third option, which I am recommending whenever you find yourself leaning into choice #1, is to just not comment.
