I'm fed up of people complaining about developers. It's *free software*, and if you get anything more than you paid for then you should be grateful (I certainly am).
This is doubly so considering all the criticism that has gone the way of the OpenSSL people in the wake of Heartbleed. When someone gives their best effort to produce software as a gift to the community, often working in spare evenings with lots of other distractions which prevent them giving their full focus to the task, they get next to no praise when it works and a whole heap of criticism when they make a tiny mistake. People even accuse them of deliberately inserting the mistake as a government spy. I'm currently writing up my PhD thesis. When I finish, I will have some free time while waiting for my viva voce, and would be willing to spend some of that time trying to fix this, as it is something I would find useful myself and potentially also a helpful addition to my CV. However there are probably plenty of people out there who would do a better job than I, especially since I have mainly used Fortran and Python for the last 4 years so my C/C++ is rather rusty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 Title: empathy needs to support OTR encryption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/296867/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
