Re: Is Chicken Nugget back?
@28
Pianobar has existed for a long time, I think as long as Hope, and is accessible. Qread somehow avoided bugs, and I still use it for that reason. Chicken Nugget was unstable for many of us from very early in the project. Not unstable enough to be unusable, not at first, but it went downhill pretty quickly.
But if you want something shady that he actually did do--and which is pretty widely known--NVDA Remote was funded under the understanding that it'd be open source, only for him to keep the server closed source and claim that somehow he was meeting his obligations to the funding campaign, which a number of us were involved with getting off the ground. That wasn't the last straw from those of us who used to consider him a friend, and broadly speaking most of the really negative stuff with Q happened in private and I'm not willing to bring it up for that reason, but I think that's bad enough to justify our negative view of him alone.
Also, try reporting a bug. 50-50 as to whether or not he gets pissed at you for it, and if you know him well enough that you have access to his source code, 100% chance that he demand you fix it, and 100% chance that he get even madder when you ask how much you're going to get paid to do that. And god help you if it's negative feedback that's not a bug, that raises the arrogant anger chances to basically 100% even if it's in public and the person offering it has no involvement with him.
So I mean...yeah. Don't get mad because Chicken Nugget isn't maintained. I don't think that's reasonable or fair. But there are lots and lots of reasons to avoid anything to do with him.
