  • Not a problem. Also FOSS orgs pay their devs as well. Off the top of my head OS developers with a large userbase often pay their devs through donations to foundations that fund the project. Often donors are companies as well, but it gives a developer the option to get paid without working for a massive company.

    (I suppose indirectly they do, but that's a whole different ball of wax)

  • I don't understand. I reread back to the top comment and went down the chain. They made a rhetorical question about how devs of software being paid. Someone clarified the definition of Foss. Then there was a an inquiry about how someone could make a living with FOSS software and another commenter claiming millions do it (which a majority are these exact devs I pointed out).

    I simply gave the list, that's all.

  • Guess Pence is off the ticket in 2024 🤣

    I don't really see the comparison to Hunter Biden and Hillary not being charged for the accusations made against them. To my knowledge there isn't multiple tapes of them admitting to the crime verbatim and proceeding to commit it. It's not even comparable.

  • See: RedHat devs and all the FOSS orgs that actually pay devs to work on their shit.

    Google, Meta, and AMD have people on their to team they pay for development on FOSS projects because their operations rely upon them, so they have a vested interest in maintaining them.

  • I'm inclined to agree with you, but at the same time we know it must happen eventually.

    At this point I imagine Nintendo is feeling pressure to make their next console as they've had to contend with Android projects spinning up to emulate the console's already weak hardware. Why own a switch when you can take a phone, slap on a pair of controllers and call it day?

  • I'm on a Pixel now. Going back to iOS the moment the USB-C iPhone is on sale.

    Sure, .apks, custom launchers, and things like GrapheneOS are nice, but Android is a shit show. Ux is all over the place and everything lacks polish overall.

  • Millennial here, no hate towards poly-folk. Seems exhausting, but do you boo.

    I expect it will be something AI related, like wanting them to have rights or whatever as they approach mimicking human behavior and appearing being alive (see, did it there). Likely because of a decade or so of us being economically threatened, and not viewing them as things that can think/'feel/not-want-to-die or whatever.
