Just like pollution, everyone always tries to fault individuals for not donating to open source, when massive companies profit off of it without contributing anything, or very little

    Thank you for linking the not animated version. I found them quite irritating and switched back to this version.

    I clicked around and couldn't find who wrote this. It's also very eager to send you to a Wordle-like game which itself links to a large number of what looks like news articles with no author given. It's a bit sketchy. I'd bet my left kidney this whole thing is AI-generated. You can't trust anything anymore.

    Great article, great collection

    and Germany's public fund for open source paid €195,000 for work on it

    Great to see public money in this list

    This is a good read. Short and to the point.

    i want to say that Lasse Collin and Jia Tan clearly don't spend enough time touching grass, but i hope they never do. lol

    Given what Jai Tan did, surely it would have been better if they'd done nothing /but/ touch grass, and stayed away from computers altogether?

    Regarding Lasse Collin, technically he did eventually open a liberapay page where people can donate to him, though it's only at €60/week as of writing.

    Inclusion of core-js or whatever it is called into the list feels dumb. Sqlite iirc doesn't accept new contributors, other projects on the list might as well. Not all of them require high maintenance beyond small fixes their authors are obviously capable of implementing.

    Yep, a story of some Russian killing someone with his car is written as if he’s a maintainer of some incredibly popular and needed thing, and killing someone’s just a little inconvenience.

    I don’t care if you’re even Linus fucking Torvalds (with all the respect) and you drive to kill someone, not realising that driving at 3 am may be dangerous. I highly doubt he was driving slowly otherwise he won’t kill someone on the spot.

    What’s the value of your work then, if the result of it is that dramatic? Don’t overwork then, to have to drive at 3 am being that exhausted.

    And what is core-js? Is it even remotely important?

    I knew some of these, fascinating to learn about the others
