  • No I believe you’re being intellectually disingenuous, because you’re now paraphrasing the comment you responded to, to try and twist the argument in your favour, the previous interaction was :

    • Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

    To which you directly replied

    • Please do provide a previous official quote from Russia stating that. I’ll save you the trouble though, cause it doesn’t exist.

    I’m not sure I quite like where this is going and I’m not in the mood for arguing over such a minimal thing, so I’d like to end the interaction here, see ya around !











  • Most open source projects will have a donation page / link, so it relies on people feeling compelled to donate because the software provided is useful to them.

    Lemmy for example has options for financially supporting its development. Some Lemmy instances also feature a link to a donation page to cover the hosting costs.

    Some have an organisation behind it, like Firefox has the Mozilla Foundation to finance it. Actually it’s the other way around, see ahal’s comment below

    The team behind VLC has a “for profit” branch that adapts the video software for companies, allowing them to also finance VLC’s development in addition to donations.
