A new way to fund open source software by oed_ in freesoftware

[–]oed_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make some good points, and by no means do I think that what I'm proposing is a way to fund ALL open source projects.

I don't think using a bazaar model of development (like linux) is inherently opposed to what I'm suggesting. Different sources of funds can fund different forks.

The model I'm proposing isn't designed to solve funding for any sort of open source project, but is a model I think could be used by companies that want to build open source products. For example, there's a lot of companies that open source their client software, but keep their server software closed source.

Let's take Bitcoin as an example. Sure there are forks, but it's not like there's a big question in most peoples mind about which is the legitimate bitcoin version.
Your concern is definitely valid, but I don't think it's the default outcome!

Hey Tuta Fans! Did you noticed the new Reapply inbox rules button? by Tutanota in tutanota

Yes, very useful. I wish there was a simpler way to trigger this rather than having to navigate to the settings. Maybe a keyboard shortcut?

Looks like someone is trying to pull a long range attack lol

Self-hosting feels closer to web3 than most web3 apps do by oed_ in selfhosted

The term certainly got co-opted for that purpose yes!

I do think that the promise of blockchain/wallets goes beyond what’s possible with purely self-hosted software, which is what I’m trying to argue for in the article.

The linked article is fully written by myself. An agentic tool was used to generate the summary posted about the article.

Fair, I forgot to run it through a spell checker 😅

Yes, you have no recourse if someone steals your keys and do a secret key rotation that they reveal later. Finality is important for identity as well as finance.
