singpolyma commented on Which businesses try to make money so they can do more opensource, more than they release opensource to make money? at Reddit, saying
There are businesses built in this way, but not many. There are also NPOs that do software work. If you can get hired at either of these, you're pretty lucky. A good example would be the Wikimedia Foundation

I can't agree enough with everyone else here. Especially for mobile: sell the app! Sell it on google play, sell it in the amazon store.

singpolyma commented on What social media is the most popular for free software/free culture advocates? at Reddit, saying
GNU Social's default themes are still pretty twitterish, and many users prefer that, though there are more content types available all the time and no reason we couldn't add more kinds of things.

I think you mean less 😉 pump.io never really got off the ground in terms of being usable, and doesn't federate outside of its little corner.

original creator endorsement is not needed, but they're not allowed to make it seem like he supports it when he does not. The page ought to say somewhere "this is an unofficial project and not endorsed by david revoy in any way" or some such

singpolyma commented on Knowing when it is worth it to turn a proprietary project into an open-source project at Reddit, saying

Does your employment contract include a clause which specifies that your work belongs to the company?

In many places, this doesn't really matter. In Canada, for example, work done "for" the company is "work for hire" and the company owns it unless your contract specifically says otherwise.

singpolyma commented on Reddit's Javascript is not free at Reddit, saying

However, the minified JS files I'm expected to run when I access Reddit have different names and appear to consolidate several un-minified files into a few

As you would expect any compile process that generates a few binaries to do.
