To rephrase what I said, they explicitly tell you they are not interested in money as a concept at all. They prefer to have none... they basically want to have nothing and wish that the rest of the world believed the same thing.

exactly... it needs the vpn to even pass anything through... but the apps that don't work with vpns... don't work with vpns. as in, it detects the presence of an android vpn connection and refuses to work, it's not related to what internet connection it actually uses, just that a system-controlled vpn is active on the device.

Bus 001 Device 059: ID 05ba:000a DigitalPersona, Inc. Fingerprint Reader

It shows up exactly the same for all the revisions though.

Thankfully the Framework Laptop fingerprint reader works.

I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn't work.

You must not be active in any chat systems that are frequented by FOSS developers then? I see it constantly across Matrix, IRC, XMPP and other places.

The bigger problem to me is that I have seen an untold number of open source developers that despise all manner of capitalism in the first place, so you can't even pay them to work on things. It's like they just want everyone to live under a rock in the woods and all be poor together or something. That's not going to progress society very much IMO.

how's that boot taste

how on earth does that work? I thought it had to have an always-on VPN connection to do any filtering (or not)

For windows I either use a mingw toolchain from mxe.cc or just run the msvc compiler in wine, works great for standard C and C++ at least, even when you use Qt or other third party libraries.

I can see how there might be usecases for stuff like this in big enterprise developments that change their design often and/or have lots of different departments of people working on the site, but in all the webdev I have ever done myself in my almost 30 years of work in it, I have never had any need for more than hand-written html, css and javascript. That and simple template systems like django/jinja have worked quite well for me and always perform far better than these big frameworks.
