Paging the “how can we monetize peertube” dude that went aggro on the fediverse community few days ago.

I don't think there's a barrier to monetizing beyond developer motivation to write it. Though, I also like strange ideas like providing users the ability to sell irrevocable advertising space next to their comments as NFTs if they have these ads enabled.

That's the last stage of being a FOSS developer.

Just imagine

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

Oh come on, the potential for shenanigans would be massive.

[-] justdoitlater@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, brands would love to pay for advertising space in "ifuckedyourmom" user posts about how hitler was such a nice guy after all.

[-] nintendiator@feddit.cl 49 points 2 months ago

Yes but IMO the merge conflict PPV would work and be awesome, and the straight-up bribery already works.

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago

The guy doing the bribing is never dumb enough to take over maintaining it though 8(

Microsoft: saving so I have a baseline ~~of what not to do~~ for our GitHub 2025 roadmap

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago

Rebrand Github as an MMO were people fight for code dominance.

Literally buy me a coffee and deliver it straight to my house.

[-] IsoSpandy@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago

Man the last one really hits home. I would transfer all of my github projects for a stable livable job

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

What's your area of expertise? In my experience software jobs that pay a livable wage are pretty common, it's finding one that isn't miserable work for a terrible company that's the tricky part.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago

Bottom left one is laughable. I don't think we'd have Mongo, Elastic, and Redis all on SSPL if that was true. (And yes, I know this post is a joke, I'm not trying to suggest it was a real suggestion.)
