Does anyone remember the TreeLoot.com MoneyTree? It existed from 1998-2004 and looked like this:

I'm all in favor of going back to the old internet, but... not this.

The binaries in question are various GNU and FOSS tools from elsewhere, not part of the Ventoy project itself. So no, the Ventoy author does not own the copyright of the tools in question.

You can tell just from the font that this book is from the 80s

He doesn't actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.

Going on the stats in the article:

  • assuming that Wukong has just surpassed the revenue of Steam Deck in the chart so we can treat their revenues as equal
  • assuming Wukong price is $49.99 and average Steam Deck price is $500
  • using the stat that 14m copies of Wukong sold on Steam so far

that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold

The article does go on to say:

Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold "multiple millions".

So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn't know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.

These are not Drew's words, he is quoting something said by the project dev. The context that the previous commenter ommitted is:

Following my email conversation with Vaxry, he appeared on a podcast to discuss toxicity in the Hyprland community. This quote from the interview clearly illustrates the attitude of the leadership:

[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns [..] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default. And so, one of the moderators changed the pronouns in their nickname to “who/cares”. […] Let’s be real, this isn’t like, calling someone the N-word or something.

An open source project backed by a corporation that sells support. And… the open source community almost instantly turns on that and decides they are evil

Redhat was the golden child of the open source community, the paragon of open source success stories, until fairly recently.

Canonical was also very highly respected until they started putting Amazon ads into people's menus.

It is not something that happens instantly for no reason, it's because of the need for these companies to squeeze every last drop of revenue out of a product to appease shareholders. Open source companies can, and do, thrive without screwing their communities over. The problem is the mindset that creating value for shareholders is the only thing that matters.

Where can I find the text of the petition that they will be submitting to the French government? How do I know what I am signing if they don't actually display the petition text?

What a shit website. Instant popup requiring you to consent to ads or buy a subscription, and the consent options don't allow removal of consent for ads and tracking. This is a GDPR violation.
