The perpetual conflict between wanting more shared/reused infrastructure for FOSS projects to extract sustainable funding from businesses, and not wanting FOSS to center around business funding because of the perverse incentives it introduces
@joepie91 what are the perverse incentives?
how about a wikipedia model like "pat what you can" + radical transperent accounting so everyone can see how much was pid by ppl and what it is being spent on?
@serapath Basically: if you are funded by businesses, then you are going to be developing for the needs of businesses, not the needs of people
@joepie91 hmm 
arent you supposed to
1. offer something customers want - serve customers
2. serve the business owners, but if the business strives, retains customers and offers high quality of goods or services, thats when the business will strive and continue to be able to benefit owners too?
now i guess when money printing and big VC and rogue investors come in with large portfolios and their own plans, things start to get distorted, but for small self funded self started businesses?

) @serapath@mastodon.gamedev.place@joepie91 anyway, my suggestion was less of a business model and more of a wikipedia style "pay what you can" organisation
