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 live in .net/nugget ecosystem and other than libraries b

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 somehow include them, but the line should be at the for-profit co

> it’s called professional accountability Professional does for money, by definition. That doesn’t apply for most open source. RedHat employee contributing to Linux kernel is an exception, not a rule.

To put it bluntly, it means a significant risk when creating any open source project. It’s a common knowledge that there is no money in open source, but suddenly I am liable. Half of open source licenses is disclaimer of liability. Also a l

1. Reproduction is already heavily subsidized in many countries, be it direct grants, tax breats and so on. This is nothing new. 2. Most people actually want children. Getting someone to actually procreate with that will share burden. 3. In

That assumes that new humans can be only by women. There is no reason, why artificial womb, possibly with multiple selection box for genes, is not a very realistic possibility, along with state funded child rearing services. (see Norway)

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 cases, imposing rule for small PRs/feature branches wil

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.

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, these things have tendency to proliferate),eu citizens
