Four billion phones ask one text file what time it is. One lecturer keeps it in his spare time. We counted the rest.

    Just like pollution, everyone always tries to fault individuals for not donating to open source, when massive companies profit off of it without contributing anything, or very little

    I clicked around and couldn’t find who wrote this. It’s also very eager to send you to a Wordle-like game which itself links to a large number of what looks like news articles with no author given. It’s a bit sketchy. I’d bet my left kidney this whole thing is AI-generated. You can’t trust anything anymore.

    Thank you for linking the not animated version. I found them quite irritating and switched back to this version.

    Great article, great collection

    and Germany’s public fund for open source paid €195,000 for work on it

    Great to see public money in this list

        Did you read the article?

        Most of these projects are run by 1 or a few volunteers who have day jobs
