I will not use your software.

i'm sure he wants people to use it otherwise he wouldn't put the source code online
>>
>>106780351
Yes, sometimes it do be like that.
You can also ask ChatGPT or Claude to port the core algorithms to another language or reconfigure the build toolchain.
>>
>>106780399
Just because I put my project source code online doesn't mean I want other people to use it

>>106780399
It's there for people like me who can take one glance at it and tell if it's worth the time or not. If it is worth the time I'll put in the effort to make the janky free shit work. Such a skill can earn you a lot of money with little investment.
>>
>>106780416
it really takes no effort at all to make a github actions .yml that will automatically install your build deps and shit out compiled binaries for every platform you support on every tagged version push, it's also free, not doing this for hard to build software means you don't respect the user's time
>>
>>106780351
git is not for release. do your own legwork shitbag.
>>
>>106780445
I don't respect the user's time. You're correct about that. Retard filters are a must.
>>
>>106780360
Oh no. Anyway...

>>106780445
>it really takes no effort at all
if it took no effort at all, it would just be there automatically. so clearly it does take effort, effort I am not willing to spare.

the best you'll get is a description of what kinds of systems are supported, what dependencies the thing uses and some installation command examples
>>106780351
don't worry it's linux only so you got filtered before you even found out about it
>>
>>106780473
if you don't respect the users time your work doesn't deserve respect

>>106781076
People upload their code online in case someone finds it useful for something and most likely doesn't give a single fuck about hand holding a brown winbabby who doesn't know how to computers. Although a screenshots sometimes would be nice.

>>106781116
isnt it chmod +x install.sh and running ./install.sh
why is he doing that/

retarded take
>>
>>106780360
This is a completely reasonable take, good neetware (random github projects) at least has one (1) screenshot and simple build instructions
>>
>>106780445
Read the Makefile you dumb bitch.
>>
>>106783298
"I will not use your software" isn't a take. It's not a threat, either. It's nothing. Literally the only person who cares is the person not using the software

Nothing personnel, kid

>>106783317
"I will not use your software if it doesn't have build instructions, doesn't have screenshots, and has bloated dependencies" is a take nigger
>>
>>106783372
no it isn't

Noun
take (plural takes)
3. An interpretation or view, opinion or assessment; perspective; a statement expressing such a position.
>>
>>106783613
exactly. Thank you. It's officially not a take.
>>
>>106780351
usually github works well whats the issue?
it does kinda suck having stuff not autoupdated but if you need something super niche you gotta do it
>>
>>106780360
just have chatgpt tell you what to do
>>
>>106781195
It's probably functional software then
