    When open source does not win

    You can get from Open Source the same type of frustrating experience you get from commercial software. Sometimes even more.


    Point in fact: My attempt top report a bug, ends up in one of my most frustrating experiences in a long while. This is what happens when you meat an idiot in Open Source: label= directive crops text after a certain limit * Issue #259 * vivien/i3blocks * GitHub
