  • Yeah, don’t look past the veneer of the Prevent Cancer Foundation (and GDQ’s founders are pretty cozy with them). Sure they’re saints compared to The Completionist (& co.), but they mostly just do education/outreach which, while important, is completely US based and no doubt doubles as soliciting/fundraising, and don’t really fund research nearly as much as you would probably guess (their 2022 financial statements indicate 4.6m spent on education, 800k spent on outreach, 1.44m on fundraising and only 1.1m on research). If you’re outside the US you’re unlikely to ever be impacted by their work. Their salaries are also way higher than DWB USA.







  • Yeah, as usual the opinionated crew are making something that one may even like feel like it’s forced down everyone’s throat (see: systemd, snap…) and making everything worse. I don’t see how any Linux desktop distro worth its salt can get by ignoring 90% of the PC GPU market share and essentially forcing them into an inferior desktop experience for pure ideology’s sake, and I LIKE Wayland. I even put up with all its quirks in a particularly quirky implementation (KWin). But this ain’t it if you want users to use your OS.
