- You can choose up to 10 software projects.
- Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
- After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.
Which projects do you choose?
(I explain and link to the ones that I don’t think everyone here would know about)
Lemmy
ActivityPub
Firefox (Chromium should go the way of IE)
Godot
WINE
Cinnamon (the desktop environment developed for Linux Mint, so we can get Wayland support)
Box86/Box64
Darling (macOS compatibility layer for Linux, plans to support running iOS apps when running on on ARM machines in the future, I want this primarily for iOS preservation purposes)
Xemu (Original Xbox emulator, OG Xboxes are some of the most failure prone consoles and a game I want to play still has serious issues)
Haiku (mostly for really nerdy shits and giggles honestly, but there’s a part of me that thinks it could be a better consumer grade FOSS OS than GNU/Linux if it were more developed and had any actual software support. As it stands, like it’s proprietary predecessor BeOS, it’s just a toy. It’s no less stupid than investing your theoretical time in Hurd IMO)
Is chromium bad by itself or is it bad because Google controls it? Because then maybe we should get chromium out of Google’s control instead?
Thanks for introducing me to Darling.
