@kaia some contributors left because of the whole "waaa waaa moderation team has no power" and because eelco does stuff weirdly. but chances are stuff will be fine. I've moved to arch because shit seems to be slowing down and tfw no gnome 46 yet and other shit is broken in nix anywag
@mischievoustomato@grillchen@kaia that probably depends on the scope of what they wanted for the money. if it was free money then i'd probably just go :blobcatpuffysup: i'm a paid mercenary give me the cash.
if they wanted some controlling stake, i might be more inclined to say no.
@icedquinn@kaia@mischievoustomato yeah and u might lose free contributor when u take wrong peoples money. it mind sound petty but people who work for free usually have certain expectations for the project. if the project doesnt fit they leave.
@grillchen@kaia@mischievoustomato this is going to sound very callous but the random field of people screeching about ideals is not what makes a foss project tick.
almost always its one probably autistic guy holding all the shit together. if its a very big project indeed there might be 2-8 core developers holding it together. and the rest of the patches are drive-bys who put in like five line fixes and were never heard from again.
@icedquinn@kaia@mischievoustomato i agree. and losing any of the core developers hurts. more than some money for some conference for some end users (afaik that was what anduril sponsored. not development itself)
first one anduril got kicked as a sponsor for the company in germany.
the reason was: the got rooms at a university for their conference. the university has a strict no military clause. so they had to kick out either anduril or lose the universities support
i ended up getting another fedi contractor to bounce a job because he was just casually flipping through it on stream and i asked if he read the part about "registered sleeping hours"
