TCC – Tiny C Compiler

Re:TCC – Tiny C Compiler by rimliu on Monday September 18, 2017 @06:23AM (#15274645)

Nowhere does it say in the original comment that someone should do something. Just a notice expressing what someone would love. And it is not difficult to see why having this on github would indeed make it easier to watch the project: because many already are GitHub users and because GitHub has that functionality. There was zero entitlement in that post.

So thanks for copy-pasting all that but it completely besides the point. And frankly "monoculture", "proprietary" and "software freedom" are starting to become red flags. Not wanting monoculture is fine, forgetting that you don't have monopoly for truth or the right way to do things is not fine. As is not labeling someone just for expressing their wishes.

The best way to hide entitlement is to phrase things so their surface sound innocent.

If my mother were to say "I would love it if you call me more", do you think it's simply a notice, with no other meaning behind it?

Because that's not the way I take it.

You still haven't answered the question of why Ballard would want to make it easier, given that 1) he's no longer working on it, 2) it's available under a free software license, 3) with a git repo, and 4) others have already put it on github.
