Does anyone have the picture? I have grown weary of claims of antisemitism these days since they are so often raised for antizionist criticism

The problem is always how you divide, particularly for libraries. It is hard to rightly estimate. For better or for worse, we should have a union of open source developers and they should divide it up. Just pay the union and they will share that democratically amongst themselves, deciding their own criterias, sorting out edge cases, having a way to process disagreements, etc

I did, and I was intentionally hopeful when I wrote that. I stand by the latter part of the argument though. I've seen enough situations where splitting money was not a problem as long as a common interest was there and the decision process was flear and fair

Never in a million years would Switzerland condemn Israel. The state loves Israel. Maybe a strongly worder "please don't kill children in hospitals" was said, but no measures whatsoever were taken

The effort behind that list is great and it does help people out. But I don't think many people will look at it and decide to donate. This is part of what is to be solved here

Stupidly simple doesn't seem to be able to fix the problem here. We need to find the simplest way that can help. How would you make it simpler?

You are indeed a good motivator! The reason I did not want to make this post at first is that I need everything: people to brainstorm with, people that can carry the project, people with the skills to create a prototype, people who can convince FOSS projects to get on board, and people willing to encourage others to donate.

Overall too much labor, skills and connection for one person. I believe we would need a team of 10-15 volunteers, some already involved in projects, to put something up

For all I care the FSF could handle this actually

Oh yes there will be drama. But I would gladly help sort it out if there was enough interest and I think I wouldn't be alone in that endeavour.

It's always better to distribute poorly than not distribute at all

It's not as simple as having an idea. Everyone can have great ideas, the problem is getting everyone on board and figuring everything else out. I'm not a FOSS dev so I don't have a foot in the community to pitch that. Don't mean to shut you down but it is probably more complicated than I made it out to be, otherwise it would probably exist in some shape

Ideally you would let picky users override every setting and provide fair enough defaults. That includes library donation cascading etc. At the end of the day it seems the core part of the project should be providing fair enough defaults

Most member states have been in support of Israel. Most egregious being US and Germany, but France is ranking high. Supporting Israel is quite zionist in my opinion

A balance definitely needs to be struck and I'm hopeful that I am on the right side of it. Thank you for your support, it means a lot

It is crucial indeed. That makes the project more of a central donation platform removed from the dev world, but it is simpler as such

Literally C/C++. Most used out there. Now if you want to do everything with it, you're in for a long ride. You can do everything on every platform with C. But learning the language is the easy part. The hard part is learning good coding pratices, which library to use and how. Only guides and practice will help you there

The Irish express solidarity on a regular basis. The anticolonial struggle against the English has made them way closer to Palestinians and other colonized peoples than the rest of Europe.

You mean make a post on Lemmy? For me the root problem is still here: I have no contacts in the (admittedly extremely wide) industry and could not build a platform for people to register their projects to. I can only draw the outline of how this thing would work

Edit: I'll try to write something down and make a post somewhere. Any community suggestions?

FSF stepping up would be awesome and I've thought about it. Sadly it doesn't seem to be in their priorities

Think Flattr where devs have a say in who gets what. A whole lot of problems to solve, but potential to be a central platform that devs actually want to join and advertise because they trust it

Thank you for the input. I guess it would be hard to track community engagement. Also, whatever is done with the donation is up to the project maintainers, in any case. Accepting the pull request in your case is also a great deal of work given the amount of spam they can create, so it is still fair in some way. No one will get rich off of donations anyway
