I have an idea:

OnlyDesks. It’s an onlyfans account for FOSS devs. Not a different site, just a straight up only fans account. You sub to it, and you get to watch a FOSS dev sit at their desk and do their stuff. You cannot interact with them, you can just check in on the webcam, like those sites where you can see the cats in a rescue. The feed is randomized, so whenever they’re live (does OF do live?), it is completely random which dev you’ll get, but you can go back through the past videos to see your favorite moments (opening yet another can of monster energy yet) again and again.

If all the Linux users sign up for the 9.99 a month tier, we’ll have the year of the Linux desktop in no time!

    Actually, why isn’t this a thing though? Kinda like Distrowatch but with FOSS projects. Have a top 10%, Popularly used, New, etc categories too. You can do monthly subscriptions of small amounts, or larger ones with something like

    # This project sponsored by: meowymeow, Fossdom4Ever, Linoos, Kitekite

    In a .env file or a readme. They could also donate stickers /badges a project page as well as one time donations.
