If you can program you can probably create an instance and then a moderation bot that bans people with more then X comments or Y posts a day. maybe that would increase the average quality of content. sounds like an interesting experiment.

I use to use old forums, i don't think the fediverse is worst then those old systems.
I think you could just ask a one time fee when registering or a monthly fee if you want to reduce moderators burnout or increase professionalization (in the best possible sense). maybe even just have the money used and publicly donated to some non profit (or stuff like funding lemmy development). maybe having a place where people know everyone donated to achieve some worthy goal will increase the trust between people.
Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version
Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.
Sounds like a really useful project. do you have a link to the source code? (hopefully it is open source) , or a github/codeberg/whatever link? (so that people could easily submit issues). i can add it to awesome lemmy (or you can do it, its fairly easy).
The fact that it does not work out of the box is already a bug, why not open an issue on linux mint instead of endlessly trying to tweak things? (possibly a problem of unrealistic perfectionism tbh).
Linux is already mainstream (according to statcounter 1 in 25 people in the US use Linux). but hardware can be a problem and if you don't check if your hardware is supported (or probably even better buying hardware that officially supports linux) there is a risk there will be problems.
With that said use what works, you are getting this for free and nobody owes you anything.
Some types of content might take days to research or work on and might not have the audience to allow monetization by ads . mitra exists for those types of things and is open source unlike this project (it seems).
A standard name for a open source project \s
iirc yes, there was actually a link on every issue opened (see example), it was on bountysource which eventually died and iirc it was at a time where lemmy was not nearly as popular.
good is the enemy of excellent. X11 works for most users (almost all the users?) well. You can see that with the adoptions of other standards like the C++ standards and IPV6 which can feel like forever.
Another thing I think one of the X11 maintainers mentioned iirc is that they have been fairly gentle with deprecation. some commercial company could have deprecated X11 and left you with a wayland session that is inferior in some ways.
Similarweb can provide estimates, in October it it is 4.575B visits for x.com vs 75.87M for bsky.app . so about 1.63% of visits, so x.com isn't going away in time soon it seems.
