it would be so cool if i were able to have paypal or cashapp or like anything other than just github sponsors. i cant know whether there’s really that many others who would be willing to help me out but don’t because of this but it’s surely not helping me that the only way to help fund me is to have a github account 😭 anyways i have like 5$ in total at the moment pls help i have bills LMAO (dont worry about git.gay and pages.gay and other things i run, those are covered theyll be fine im just asking for help with my personal expenses)
@novenary essentially, the bet I'm making is that without our communities (as shown by Nix and Rust most recently) going out of their way to support the MIC, the value it receives from merely being able to use the code, rather than code, free labor, free tech support, etc is going to be much less, to the point of at least slowing down development, if not requiring reorganization
the industry is very dependent on volunteer labor, which we can use to our advanage right now
@novenary yeah, I'm doing novel hardware so patents are a particularly sour point. I actively wanted e.g. random aliexpress sellers to be able to manufacture or clone the hardware to make it widely available, hence making it look as risk-free as possible
not to post during my break but i am…Surprised and Disappointed, to say the least. I’m trying to get in contact with the owner of the repo to see if there was any correspondence about it. anyways the mirror on git.gay is still upppp
