It shows “blocked” but clicking on it works for me.

But the demand is high. There are lots of users, many in a corporate sense using my software to further progress their organization.

tbh there will always be demand for free work, these small libraries that people don’t support seem like free code to me that corporations can write themselves relatively easily.

There is a lot of challenges to this. And these are only the things I thought of. I’m sure in reality it’s even more complicated. That’s why I don’t think the moral reponsibility at the moment falls on these companies. There needs to be a system in place that handles the contributions from users and distributes them to projects and dependency projects.

There are plenty of options and case studies for how to do this, in particular tidelift (which was started by a legit open source contributor) is one option, people manage to raise money using open collective and offer incentive through patreon (vue.js is a good example).

At this point i think everybody should just use the AGPL instead of the GPL.

There is rysolv which is under the AGPL but it probably needs some work (see this and this issues).

On the closed source side there is algora and replit.

for whats it's worth, here is his linkedin.

I liked oolite (space trading and combat game, also DRL (aka doomRL) and cataclysm DDA , also there is The Ur-Quan Masters megamod (A 2d space game)

People might not like this change, but if it helps them makes money that gets put back into the project maybe that is a good thing (for those who does not know, it converts to a open source license after four years), maybe that is better then a open core model.

There was a similar post here.

Liberapay might be good if you know python.

Stuff i have learned from headspace and unifiedmindfulness.com , there are probably better sources (like a MBSR course), I will repeat the advice i got to learn from good sources or a good teacher, otherwise you could make a mistake that will make you give up and not get the most benefit from them (and i saw that happen).

That is a 8 year old article, plus they are a democratic organisation where the board of director is elected by the editors, If they think they need the money to be the best wikipedia they can be i will take their word instead of some website owned by Jeff Bezos (And if i am reading wikipedia articles and learning, I am not wasting money and resources on amazon).
