Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 28-Dec-2023 07:32:33 JST Nazo @itsfoss I try to provide (hopefully) useful feedback when I can. Bug reports, suggestions, etc. Some projects are extremely daunting though with extremely high requirements for posting a bug/suggestion and it even feels like a hostile environment sometimes with a few where I just am afraid even to post something.

I can develop in many languages, but can’t just say “hey ill contribute to this project” without knowing its structure and how to develop a specific software. -

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 29-Dec-2023 03:21:42 JST Nazo @itsfoss Well, it can and it can also not at the same time -- it's definitely a double edged sword. I get it. A huge reason for a lot of those requirements are because they get a lot of junk. "I ran this and it crashed my computer! -- signed person with overclocked unstable CPU."
However, there are times I feel like a bug report area on Github/etc has requirements *too* high. I ran into an issue on DOSBox-X that is difficult to reproduce so I don't really feel comfortable reporting it.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 29-Dec-2023 15:22:03 JST Nazo @itsfoss Actually, I was thinking about it on a separate thing and I think what might be the bigger problem is when people have suggestions for improvements and the attitude they get back is "just go do it yourself." Like, if I could do it myself I wouldn't post a suggestion, I'd do it myself and post a patch (or fork) instead... Unfortunately I am not a programmer. I don't really understand why people even do that...
