@Erpel the answer is: way to fucking much

@mttaggart Not to be mean to you or anything but I don't a small scale non-profit and such a big thing as blender are the same.

The report you linked does not look bad in the slightest. Looks rather well even. They seem to focus their money where it counts: The devs. Chairman does not take home all that much.

The Cost seems controlled and they have balanced sheets. Everything thats left over goes to the piggybank as well. Looking at the report years prior they have been saving pretty well. So they won't be in jepardy when even a few years they have to cover some costs using it.

Having 240k a year from anthropic or not won't make or break blender as a foundation really.

Even though most their work is sponsored by these big donors. (~50%)

Pretty sure blender would have other ways of raising more money before selling themselves to anthropic for 240k. Oh well we will see. Certainly they won't go under. They are just a too nice thing for big corps to miss out on. Certainly cheaper than any other 3d-thingie on the market

@Erpel Nah Linnemann always was.

@Erpel morni ente. Already loosing all hope in the morning?

@thomasfuchs I wonder how is discord installed on mac?

On linux (as typical) I install it over my package manager and it can get annoying to me when I don't want to update my whole system just so discord is like "Please update before you can use me".

I added a SKIP_HOST_UPDATE like described here: https://medium.com/@patarisac/how-i-bypassed-discords-forced-update-on-linux-2bbc39b5949c

I guess mac and linux should be similar enough in that regard?

Maybe this helps you. But you will need another way to update it then.

@snow Oh no its Ai-Sparkle but.kinda broken

even an official post by blender can be turned into a hellthread by snow. Scary

@snugglybun When will people learn 🙄

@snow Its your brain not mine

@snow Its your inner snow left unleashed thats why. True Snow

@ahhhhhhoniichan @epsi If getting money from like every major thing (disney included) is considered not much might change.

I just think its funny that athropic stole so much creative works over all the internet and coughs up pennies to support the people its been stealing from...

@areon yes

@mametsuko GO TO YOUR DUTCH LESSONS!

@Proteus @kokubunji wie du meinst

@Proteus @kokubunji Finde ich aber dennoch irgendwie maximal daneben gleich so zu reagieren. Wir können dann immer noch motzen wenn klar ist wie das ausgestaltet wird

@kokubunji @Proteus @tagesschau Ist denn Überhaupt klar wer die Abgabe tragen soll? Ich hab da nix dazu gelesen. Sinnvoll wäre natürlich dass die Abgabe von den Produzenten zu leisten wäre.

Nur so kann man dem Ziel dass weniger Zucker verwendet wird näherkommen

@desea @emmy yes many cheeses are lactose-free. Atleast for the harder more ripened Cheeses thats true. I dunno about the soft creamy variety though (likely not)

@fristi @Erpel @volpeon it is not. It was just the right thing to get out at the time.
