There are probably some people that go too far, but that is true in any community. There are also people with a very legitimate threat model, for example if they are from insert your favourite dictatorship here and they have insert opinion against said regime

I personally use Kagi, and monetary conversion works, math ops work, only missing stocks

What is the buffer (in months) that framasoft has when it comes to donations? (Aka, how long can you operate if all sources of funding suddenly dry up)

I can only say good things about kagi. They let you adjust your search results according to how much you trust a given source, and the business model makes sense. You pay them, they give you a service. Heck, if you pay for unlimited searches, they have an actual incentive to make you search less and make you find results quickly

I’d like a link for the repo pls

I’m unique :) this ain’t great

Essentially they claim they don’t sell data. They say instead they process it in house and just have advertisers indicate a certain desired profile and then yhey show the ads, without transferring info

Piped has been having problems with it lately. Pretty sure it’s YouTube cracking down on FOSS alternative APIs

Immich. Just found out about it, still gotta try, but looks good, an app that allows you to configure a Google Photos like app locally hosted, with automatic phone backups

You have 4 basic options for funding:

-you rely on individual donations which doesn’t bring in enough money

-you force people to pay for it, which makes it less attractive when compared to traditional software, and makes much of the community pissy

-you rely on corporate money

-you rely on government money

None is perfect, but some amount of government funding (let’s say, 10% of what they would pay Microsoft for the equivalent software) might make sense

Maybe it’ll be governments partially funding it. If Schleswig-Holstein’s attempt is anything to go by, it might be a way

Question, where did you find these?

My bet is that it is a law against porn, and furry porn would be inside that

They’re doing it with chrome users if I’m not mistaken, making popups to use Bing. There was even an apology as the popups were supposed to only be shown once instead of constantly if I’m not mistaken

It’s a neat project. Costs as much as an iPod :P

The issue is that larger companies which could have an impact (Netflix, google, Meta) already have special deals in place that bypass these rules
