This is why people say the open source ecosystem sucks.

Hi! I wrote this <3
Hi. Could you add a link to your Lemmy account to any other source? The website/GitHub/Mastodon/Liberapay doesn’t mention this account.
Sure! I’ve been meaning to depoy hedgedoc for a while now and this seems like a good use. Here you go: https://doc.boehs.org/s/socials
fixed; ignore
Edit: Why does nothing ever work. Immediately hit some obscure error because of a cloudflare minifier edgecase: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cache-minify-breaking-script/386650/11, well if you do a view source you’ll see it
Edit 2: You can also verify by asking at any of the methods in https://boehs.org/contact
Also, could you please update the title of your fediverse post? The article now says 21k 🙂
I cannot maths sometime 😩
It happens to the best of us 🙂
Updated.
In 2017, the project was purchased by the cryptocurrency company CanYa, and in 2020 it was sold to “The Blockchain Group”. Coincidently, around this time, the Bountysource project announced drastic changes to its terms of service, enabling them to steal unclaimed bounties after two years
Crypto ghouls strike again!

Here’s the thing: I’m excited about the tech and its potential uses. BUT there’s a reason why I still steer clear of any project that hasn’t built up reputation for years. If the project is worthwhile, early adopters will find out and eventually, it will grow over many years. Then it could be considered somewhat “trustworthy”.

Funny how Bountysource deteriorated at the exact time cryptocurrency got involved.
That’s incredibly scummy. If it were huge corporations, it would be a rounding error no one would care about, but this is OSS community members we’re talking about
Right? like the probably 50-100k they stole in total is whatever, but the fact they stole it from underpaid OSS developers and generous community members is disgusting.
I might apply for funding to research the real number that was stolen…
Are there better open source bounty sites/systems?
The best option is to just support the developer/project by the method they prefer the most (ko-fi/patreon/crypto/beer/t-shirts etc).
If the project doesn’t accept any donations but accepts code contributions instead (or you want to develop something that doesn’t exist), you can directly hire a freelancer to work on what you want, from sites like freelancer.com.
Some options are listed here https://www.oss.fund/categories/bounties/
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
