Not to get too far off-topic, but I’m not sure whether a non-trust-based system is possible at all when the source is freely available and tools like nix exist. I think we are way past the point where artificial sparsity worked, so a financing model must be based on very low (read: close to no) overhead for the supporter. A friend of mine might be onto something there, but it’s probably still too early to tell. -- Proudly written in Mutt with Vim on NixOS. Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?
