This is interesting and I genuinely hope you succeed because OSS funding is important. I have some questions: 1. Can anybody place a bounty on any issue? That seems like it could take control away from the maintainer. Is there a way for a m

Copyright is a monopoly, and it should be scrutinized as such. It does provide some much-needed to protections for rights holders, but it provides very little protection for consumers. Fair use is something at least, but doesn’t help when r

You're right, that's weird. The particular snippet you linked to isn't that egregious, it just creates a dummy 1x1 texture for some reason, and changes a hint. A lot of stuff in that file though is branched on that opengl fla

Those seem to be mainly platform-specific initialization things, like creating a window and rendering context. That's pretty normal for these types of rendering libraries which don't include a full blown portable windowing API. If

I find it hard not to be cynical about this after everything IBM has been doing. I wonder if this is an attempt to identify exactly which organizations are using Fedora in order to upsell or do another CentOS-like rug pull? Luckily, OpenSus

You should look into the story of XMPP and how it got killed by Google. The situation is pretty much identical to what Facebook is doing here, and the ending will likely be the same: once Meta gets enough users, they'll subtly break fe

So it seems like nobody was using the OSS version, and they didn’t want to maintain two versions if nobody was using it. It also says they offer a free self hosted version for individuals, but I couldn’t find that on their site.

That looks interesting. I've been looking for a new OS to migrate away from Fedora Silverblue recently, since I pretty much no longer trust RH. Would you happen to know if there are any major differences between distrobox and toolbox?
