I mostly donate w Bitcoin

Aren't there better coins with better privacy (which might be a helpful property , because being known as a generous person might make you a attractive target to charity scams attempts) and also much lower fees (monero? nano? , which reportedly has no fees) and faster transactions times? (if we are using digital currencies, we might as well try to support the best project by using it).

might be worth mentioning the c910 core this SBC is based is open source.

It's good to see enhancement in moderations tools , there was a lot of feedback on that so i am happy this is being worked on.

With that said donations seem at a all time low (3,524), lower then when the new website started reporting donations ($3,962). on june 2 it was €4,010 , could the lemmy.ml censorship drama be related to this? maybe there is a way to mitigate this event?

xiangshan , rocket chip , cva6 , ibex .

All of these are built by non profits (although some of them are more like "trade groups" and not "charities").

xiangshan is probably the most interesting, there is also vroom but it seems inactive for now.

Integrating with patreon or opencollective where one of the rewards is access to supporter only lemmy communities might be a good use case for a plugin system.

How is that not a security theater? , you just need to :

• publish a good snap
• change it to malware after it is approved
• profit

The extra cost added to override this is fairly small, i don't think it will help.

I think the fediverse should take something from C++ playbook, it toke forever for the C++ 11 standard to be created but after the standard C++ foundation started getting significant funding which it used to fund work on standards the pace of publishing standards became a lot faster.

The trend appears negative, see here , on a more positive notes the number of donations seems stable (when checking using the web archive).

Contributors: ...

Shouldn't purism be listed as the sponsor of the project?

The project is missing developers, if you want to then implement them yourself , or fund raise the money using a bounty platform like polar, some of the ideas are fairly controversial and linus law of trail and error apply here, with that said i think lemmy could benefit from a add on system like those wordpress and discourse have and those ideas can be checked out.

Personally i had them accept some of my feedback before (e.g. i am the one who requested the ability to block an instance which got implemented despite one of the developers were against it and the other suggested i should switch instances).

Just try to be prudent and persuasive .

it's basically the non profit software in the public interest that is governed by a board elected by open source contributors. From it’s website:

Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI’s own expenses.

Maybe there is a place for non profit where donors elect a board of director that decides how to fund things, giving non programmers a way to influence the development of FOSS (and non programmers could have a lot to offer).

There is also tidelift which does something similar.

There is a link to the bounty on polar at the end , it's 20 dollars.

Yeah, but i don't think these are meaningful differences.

There is awesome-lemmy and the lemmy-apps megathread, I don't think there is a need to duplicate efforts.

That does not mean it fits the open source definition , that you can change it and even sell it

Unclear licensing can be a problem , see for example how cataclysm dda had to remove a tileset due to it.

Any highlights from the study?

It seems mostly like "lemmy is now moderately liked".

Companies use customer satisfaction as a way to estimate their future potential (like apple was cited as a company with a relatively high customer satisfaction, and indeed it's stock and profits later seemed to surge).

Would be interesting to see something like that for lemmy (you can replace "customer" with "user" for this discussion it's basically the same thing). comparing 1-10 rating of lemmy vs reddit or other platforms (but sample it well, to avoid review bombing), You can compare reddit google play rating with those of jerboa , but that has it own problems (for example a lot of people don't use a mobile client i believe).

Doesn't seem open source, i don't see i link to something like github or a license.

Link returns "This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.".

Do you have a github or codeberg link?

Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

On top of what other said, the wayland project also maintains the wayland protocols repository which includes additional protocols that are approved by a "committee" that includes representatives from wayland protocol implementations (wlroots, kde , gnome , smithay etc). for example now they are working on color management.

There appears to be a consensus among people working on window manager implementations that X has to go and wayland is the future.

Wayland has technical benefits, if you want the nitty gritty details see this.

Basically X11 is bad IPC at this point.

Also be careful with what you read online, I see misinformation about it relatively often.

It's pitched as a open source operation system, yet the snap store is closed source and vendor locked, one of the reasons some of us use Liniux is because we prefer open source (and there are rational justifications for that).

Hate is a strong word, but there is legitimate criticism, I also think the closed source nature of snap led to the fact that it has no volunteers and that eventually caused malware to appear on the snap store multiple time, it never happened on flathub as far as i know.

Today for beginner i think opensuse and linux mint are better.

Regarding debian having old packages , i use nix but it is fairly immature, flathub should also work.
