Ads and open source. Is it possible to see them together?
Vim. At launch, it includes an advertisement to help the poor children in Uganda.
In the version of Vim that I am using (Vim 8.1), the “advertisement” appears to be randomly chosen between “Help poor children in Uganda!” and “Sponsor Vim development!”.
If the ads aren’t optional and opt-in like in Brave, people will just create an identical fork except for the ads code being removed.
Firefox. Every update you see some promotion of some of their services.
Can you blame them though, they are the only option to chromeium and they are a corporation that needs money to thrive.
Open source software don’t appreciate bloatware? I’m not sure why you asked this question.
He’s probably curious about sustainable open source models. I’m curious about it too. How can we avoid another RedHat?
