Not without cause! (That might be uBlock Origin.)
But they have recently got new owners after DICE sold them (and Slashdot) - first thing new owners did was utterly renounce and remove all the malware stupidity. Second was enabling HTTPS. It's a relic, but there's hope - so it's out of the lists, because malware is gone.
But it'll take years to rebuild that trust, if it ever can.

Depends. If there's something like a pop-up or an instrusive piece of shit you can't hide, then, yes. Having a donate button in the about-menu or something, no.

Depends. Some really good programs are written in Java, but unpopular single-dev programs in Java are mostly shit yes.
>>53842367
I should have clarified. Putting a donation button on the website is fine. Cluttering the user interface with donate buttons or using a nag screen are definite red flags. Developers are allowed to make money, but if they think cluttering their interface or annoying their users is the way to do it, they don't care enough about writing good software.

Yep. The Atom download is huge, it uses tons of resources and the interface is unresponsive. Text editors should be lightweight, but web browsers are some of the most complicated programs out there. The two things don't mix.
>>53842263
>it's command line software and it prints messages on success
gparted does this and it makes perfect sense.
It's a mixed one: as a user I want it to do that, for scripts it can be horrible. The no-output-on-success is usually only enforced on commads, not programs.

>>it's command line software and it prints messages on success
All good CLI software is either quiet by default with a -v flag to print messages, or verbose by default with a -q flag to quieten messages.
As an end user, I personally prefer the latter. For the former style of commands, I always append -v manually.
When the only way to download it is from some weird Chinese file sharing site.

Yeah, and that's why you have a colorful prompt with a silly lambda symbol full of useless information instead of a conditional prompt that only displays information when it's actually relevant

>>53842825
>>implying your workflow requires host and username while on a local shell with your main account
But it does.
I'm usually logged in to like 5 different machines. The prompt is also color-coded with the hash, so it's visually easy to distinguish them without even needing to look at the name.
Also helps for e.g. distinguishing root from non-root prompts.
>implying your workflow needs a clock in the prompt
It helps and it's not like it consumes much space. Lets me more easily check the time, lets me also scroll up and see how much time I spent doing something.
>implying your workflow needs to display the git branch while on master
I use branches very extensively as part of my normal git workflow. Displaying the branch name is pretty important.
>Yeah, and that's why you have a colorful prompt with a silly lambda symbol full of useless information instead of a conditional prompt that only displays information when it's actually relevant
My prompt *is* condition and *does* only display information when it's relevant. For example, git information is hidden when I'm not inside a git repository. SELinux role name is hidden when SELinux is disabled, and so on.
>>53842919
>I'm usually logged in to like 5 different machines
That's why you display it when logged into a remote shell.
>Also helps for e.g. distinguishing root from non-root prompts.
That's why you use "%" and "#" instead of your lambda nonsense
>Displaying the branch name is pretty important.

>It helps and it's not like it consumes much space.

Doesn't help me identify which machine I am currently physically logged in to. More logic that's really not necessary.
What if it's hard to distinguish between the local and a remote machine? What if I'm logged into a tmux session locally and remotely at the same time?
>That's why you use "%" and "#" instead of your lambda nonsense
Less easy to quickly identify and visually see from a distance.
>That's why you display when it's not master
but why obfuscate the master case? What exactly are you saving? Space? Not really, look how much space I still have left over.
>Do you not have a fucking clock?
It's at the top of the screen, ergo further away and requires manual checking, rather than the information being passively available.
But feel free to continue going on an autistic ragefestival over how somebody else's terminal prompt is less overengineered and more pragmatic than yours. I'm sure it will win you plenty of /g/ points.
>>53843242
>but why obfuscate the master case? What exactly are you saving? Space? Not really, look how much space I still have left over.
Never mind the fact that you're now literally asking me to patch upstream's git-prompt.sh in order to implement this autism logic for no benefit.
>>53843242
>Doesn't help me identify which machine I am currently physically logged in to
Unless you're in a computer lab , why would you need extra help for that?

>but why obfuscate the master case?
It's the opposite, it makes it much more visually striking when you're on master and when not
>rather than the information being passively available.
It's not just "passively available", it's more distracting noise

I'm in a computer lab regularly. I work as a sysadmin at a large university. It's not uncommon for me to be using different workstations depending on where I am.

>It's the opposite, it makes it much more visually striking when you're on master and when not
This is something where the visual clarity doesn't really help. It's not like there's a big difference between ‘master’ and non-master to begin with. Technically, there's none. Many of my repositories don't even have a ‘master’ branch.
>It's not just "passively available", it's more distracting noise
I don't see how it's either noise or distracting. “Man, I wish I could focus on this shell one-liner I am trying to write, but this stupid 16:10 over here is just throwing off my thought process so much”. Yeah, no.
>you need third party software just to display the branch?

dude, we're just doing you a great service
the sooner you start learning this glorious language, the better off you'd be when the global warming turns anything south of Moscow into Sahara, and rising ocean levels drowns out all the coastal strongholds of your liberal judeo-atlantic quasicivilization
and the vast plains of Siberia become literal paradise
Russian skill would be one of the core parameters of selecting which refugees to let in
so you'd better start ASAP

Well if you're going to say your program works on windows

Ads in a freeware is never a good sign and why the hell there's barely any good Freeware (including non proprietary) on Android despite being the most popular OS. On any desktop OS you can like three Freeware with no ads for everything plus free and open source stuff.
