Re:Proxmox Donates €10k to the Perl and Raku Foundation by CJefferson on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @01:21PM (#44661651)
How many US companies are donating more than 10k to perl? Or even that much?

If your anti-EU rant is right, open source projects should just naturally come into a whole bunch of donations this size from these rich US companies. Does that happen? Especially once we get past the big 3?

>your anti-EU rant

How is it anti-EU? I was explaining what I observed, nothing what I said has to do with the EU political union, but with the way EU companies operate. Criticizing the way European companies choose to do business doesn't make you "anti-EU".

What's with this hyper-partisan George-Bush-style "You're either with us or against us" type of arguments, where you can't criticize something without someone accusing you of being a hater?

Can't we just debate things reasonably and assuming good faith as per HN rules, instead of resorting to attacks and accusations of partisan?

Craigslist used to donate $100k per month until 2017.

Perl has been a member of Google Summer of Code for several years now

And Duck Duck Go (based in Pittsburg) recently donated $25k [0] (imo they could have donated more, but something is better than nothing)
