Open source is neither a community nor a democracy
Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project. The gift you've received is the software itself and the freedom of use granted by the license.world.hey.com
most of the work on projects is fixing bugs/ patching CVEs and ensuring back compatibility. it is a small group who have bug fixing skills that contribute the most and/or add to the main architecture of a project, which does give them more weight in any say.
FOSS is indeed a gift and i love when repos have the 'buy me a coffee' option as a way to give an option for compensation.

There's a film photographers' competition deadline coming up with a $1,000 cash prize for the first place (and other prizes, inc. exhibition).

This is The Coffer Illusion.
Our brains are geared toward identifying objects & here, โpixelsโ are grouped to form edges & contours, shapes, & objects. The image is inherently ambiguous so there is no โrightโ grouping.
Rectangles dominate first for most people - including me, but keep staring & the image may flip to circles.

So now SpaceX, with no working spacesuit, and years behind on it's multi-billion dollar moon lander, is lobbying NASA to go to the Hubble Space Telescope.
"A successful private mission could improve Hubble's ability to point at celestial objects and, by boosting its orbit, extend its life by years... however, an accident could leave the multibillion-dollar telescope broken โ or, even more tragically, tethered to the dead bodies of the astronauts sent to repair it."
Starlink is killing Hubble
Something about this plan to move Hubble, didn't make sense. If the space telescope still has 10 years of useful life, why this risky SpaceX mission to boost it's orbit now?
Well it turns out the main thing threatening the utility of Hubble is... wait for it... SpaceX Starlink satellites, which orbit just above Hubble constantly "photo-bombing" the images. Within a few years there will be so many Starlinks that Hubble will be useless.
