MODERATORS
Exactly like all software developers who thought they were going to make games or some world changing application at least in their own time, and then five years later they are just logging out for the day and playing games or streaming crap all evening like everyone else.
Given how many great open source projects there are, some developers actually do that. Just not me and you bro.
A lot of FOSS is maintained by people who are getting paid one way or another to maintain it.
And a lot of FOSS isn't.
Yeah this sucks and a lot of projects backed by corporations get "shutdown" (no more maintainer) or the license is changed along the way to a closed one...
True, but the bigger the project, the more it's supported by paid developers. Either from some foundation or else corporate devs whose jobs include contribution to FOSS projects
Wasn't the case for ImageMagick and OpenSSL for a very long time.
for OpenSSL? UNPAID?! HOLY FUCK
Well now they got paid after the critical security vulnerability in 2014 (?), but it's basically just two developers.
Also don't confuse OpenSSL with OpenSSH
The FOSS that matters (mostly) is.
I'm so sick of computers I don't even play videogames anymore. I just write stories in notebooks and go for long walks
