It's called tidelift.com

First, I like how you included “popular” adjective. That alone disqualifies 99% of projects. These are the projects “hacked” by non-paid devs. Second, some proof would be nice. I l…

That is one of them, here is the second version with different amendedments by European Council: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-11726-2023-... They are now hashin…

TBF there is a lot of things “free of charge” connected to commercial activity, e.g. Android, .NET Core, MongoDb, ElasticSearch, even RedHat with Linux … I understand need to someh…

You are asking how requiring open source with no money to satisfy plethora of regulations along with legal liability (I.e. making it a commercial grade) makes it less likely for op…

There is some hope for individual developers in EP amended version https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2014_2019/plmrep/COM... article 10c: > Developers contributing individual…

Maybe, but normal developer interracts with sane parts. Honestly, the biggest problem with git is sane environment for merge conflicts and that is out of scope of git CLI. In most …

MS stores windows codebase in a single repo ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/bharry/the-largest-git-repo-o... ). 300GB. I don't really see a benefit of having all code of an org in…

Rather surprising that they don't offer sign up with Facebook/Google. I know, i know, but that's pretty big speed bump in the onboarding process.

Probably, but I will take this victory. Google has power to make this happen.

Because they are collecting a shitload of data about me to make them work. It's like a little camera accompanying you everywhere and you don't get to say no and it's used for anyth…

Maybe when uutils ship their gnu compatible version(deviations from GNU are considered bugs), macos will update. MIT, Rust, active development... Maybe in few years.

I suspect such versions won't comply with Cyber Resilience Act (=company would be on hook for a fine). Browsers are in category 2 iirc. Edit: rest of world might be fine(big maybe,…

You can try to patent anything, but patent might not be accepted. The thing is that patent office is funded by patent fees, so there is an incentive to accept the patent plus they …

Huawei and HarmonyOS? I know, rather unpopular ouside of China.
