You guys are awesome. You've taken a bunch of sand and made it do some amazing things. FOSS devs especially, you do this for the good of everyone for little benefit to yourselves. You all deserve a medal.

    After being widely disseminated online, Messing was labeled "Fedora Guy" and the picture became synonymous with "neckbeard" and "nice guy" stereotypes, as well as a joke at the expense of zealous atheists.

    This is such a funny way of putting it

    He got a bad case of COVID-19, was in a coma, and is permanently paralyzed. Looks like he's got a GoFundMe for medical transport from Florida to Texas, where he'd have better support and hopefully be able to do voice work.

    Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

    FOSS devs especially, you do this for the good of everyone for little benefit to yourselves.

    I guarantee that most contributors who aren't being paid are doing their commits out of spite, but I can definitely applaud them for being as vindictive as they are.
