good is the enemy of excellent. X11 works for most users (almost all the users?) well. You can see that with the adoptions of other standards like the C++ standards and IPV6 which can feel like forever.

Another thing I think one of the X11 maintainers mentioned iirc is that they have been fairly gentle with deprecation. some commercial company could have deprecated X11 and left you with a wayland session that is inferior in some ways.

github (actually open source, under MIT license).

It’s sad to see a project getting downvoted despite people here not really knowing anything about it’s creators because of their nationality , donation to lemmy are at an all time low . r/RedditAlternatives already has two posts complaining about lemmy userbase. I hope lemmy will improve because right now it seems like it is moving toward a slow death.

I don’t know how many people care about it, but i like github “sort by thumbs up” functionality (see example) . it’s a simple indicator of what is more or less valued by the community.

I mostly donate w Bitcoin

Aren’t there better coins with better privacy (which might be a helpful property , because being known as a generous person might make you a attractive target to charity scams attempts) and also much lower fees (monero? nano? , which reportedly has no fees) and faster transactions times? (if we are using digital currencies, we might as well try to support the best project by using it).

might be worth mentioning the c910 core this SBC is based is open source.

It’s good to see enhancement in moderations tools , there was a lot of feedback on that so i am happy this is being worked on.

With that said donations seem at a all time low (3,524), lower then when the new website started reporting donations ($3,962). on june 2 it was €4,010 , could the lemmy.ml censorship drama be related to this? maybe there is a way to mitigate this event?

xiangshan , rocket chip , cva6 , ibex .

All of these are built by non profits (although some of them are more like “trade groups” and not “charities”).

xiangshan is probably the most interesting, there is also vroom but it seems inactive for now.

Integrating with patreon or opencollective where one of the rewards is access to supporter only lemmy communities might be a good use case for a plugin system.

How is that not a security theater? , you just need to :

  • publish a good snap
  • change it to malware after it is approved
  • profit

The extra cost added to override this is fairly small, i don’t think it will help.
