It's more like €40,000-50,000 after taxes and contributions to health care, social security and the German pension fund. Enough for a modest lifestyle in Germany. Many OSS contributors aren't motivated by money after all.

It's completely absurd that this is funded by Linux Foundation while Apple doesn't support FreeBSD with a single penny.

The sad thing is that stepping down as maintainer is the only thing that raises sufficient awareness. You can put a disclaimer in your README that you need help, you can run around and beg for support, but this is unlikely to have any effec

You can do amazing things with only a single SID channel. One of the most impressive examples is the in-game music of Hawkeye [1] which allows to use the remaining two channels for sound effects. [1] https://youtu.be/es-rWnV

Reminds me of an old April Fools' prank in German c't magazine. They offered a defragmentation-like tool for HDDs that claimed to distribute 0s and 1s more evenly on the drive to make it run more smoothly and extend its lifespan.
