> Donations are not tax-deductible

> Because we are a 501(c)(6), OSC is not a registered 501(c)(3) charity; donations to hosted member projects are not tax-deductible. This is consistent with IRS guidelines — open source donations aren't automatically classified as charitable simply because they are FOSS.

> If your project has a clear charitable purpose, a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor may be a good fit.

Unfortunate they rely on HP cartridges. HP is a priority BDS target: https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp

How about sampling more from the more "prominent" areas of the image[0] and less from less "prominent" areas?

SigmundurM — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 14:22:23 +0000

The IndieWeb people use Microformats[1] extensively for things like Webmention[2] and such. Seems quite neat, though maybe I'd prefer the tags to be data attributes instead of classes.

New comment by SigmundurM in "OpenFront Has Been Stolen"

SigmundurM — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:40:15 +0000

Yeah that looks to be the case. Reading the OpenFront readme, it looks like they transitioned to the AGPL believing it to be stricter (which it might be?).

What's also funny is the FrontWars fork's readme.md [1] has not been changed at all, and still credits the OpenFront maintainer as the project maintainer:

> The project maintainer (evan) has final authority on all code changes and design decisions

How much they should make I'd say is up to how much you value them. If you really like an artist and want to support them, a objectively better way than just streaming their music is purchasing their albums, vinyls, merch, etc.
