First time I see him referred to as something other than ConcernedApe

[-] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

It's actually the first time I've heard about MonoGame. A lot of indie games seem to use it. Donating to FOSS projects, as long as they are being well-managed, is always cool.

Dang, you're hard to please

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago

You're responding to someone who chose to join the fediverse via lemmy.inbutts.lol

Mentally twelve, if not also biologically.

I'm also on the fediverse @shnizmuffin@toots.inbutts.lol -- an inarguably better subdomain.

[-] Cevilia 3 points 5 days ago

Lemmy is part of the fediverse.

Also if your toots are trapped in your butt, you should probably see a pharmacist, there's medication that can help with that. /j

41M units sold at $15 a pop. Even if he only sees $2.50 of that, it's still over $100M. If expecting a 1% contribution is "hard to please," then yes I am.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 10 points 5 days ago

Considering they've pledged ongoing support, you may see that come true.

[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

A monthly commitment isn't an annual commitment. I hope it's like, "here's 125k, and also 125k every year for the next decade." But if it were, they'd say so.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 5 days ago

What do you mean by your first sentence? Why does the frequency matter?

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

I think they're saying they would like to see it be an annual commitment, as in every year. Not defending their shitty gatekeeping on donations to developers.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 4 days ago

Rrriiiiight I see. They phrased it very poorly but I can see that reading

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah, feels like they do a lot of things very poorly 🤷

[-] maus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago

Remind me, how much have you contributed?

[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 3 points 5 days ago

I contribute 2% of my annual salary (after taxes) to the software I use personally, $360 of which goes to the continued development of Lemmy. The splits are uneven and depend, primarily, on how much I feel the project needs money. For example: I participated in Bonfire's Indiegogo campaign, but I have only ever given Mastodon, like, $5 once.

Professionally, I make sure my company makes donations to the FOSS projects we use in production. It's less than they deserve but more than I can afford out of pocket.

If you put all those contributions together, they wouldn't sniff even $10k annually. But then again, my company and I don't have nine figure revenues.

You?

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 21 points 5 days ago

Ah dang I give 3% of my annual salary why are you giving so little? Feels low.

[-] cevn@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Perfect response lol.

[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 0 points 5 days ago

That's great! Can you figure out what percentage of annual earnings CA is contributing? The answer might surprise you!

[-] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

You’re probably hilarious at a party
