Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

As pirating inevitably relates to this, I don't think the dev should very openly announce that he is receiving money for this.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

No, I am not getting donations for the same reasons I've said on every other project:

- I would get like, $50 total? That would assume 10 people donate $5. Considering the bunch of pirates that do not even bother to hide (please!!!) the fact that they're doing stupid stuff that in the mid-long term damages not only the N900 as a platform BUT also WebOS, I would be surprised if more than 3 persons donated.

In fact, 3 persons donating would be above-average for a maemo.org project!

- The only thing that receiving a donation from someone would cause is making me feel that the donor _deserves_ something from me. Thus I'd feel compelled to keep the project ongoing even when I'm bored, not in the mood, or just plainly tired of it; thus misusing my free time, thus getting more stress, etc.

I prefer the "no obligations" attitude. Also, this is free software. If you want to donate something, donate code. Or knowledge.

Strangely I am one of those people who do donate and expect nothing but that comes from being a coder who has relied on donations before. From a personal point of view I would just like to say thankyou. Its work like this that make my N900 amazing and fresh even after a year (which as we all know in tech terms in like dog years.)

That and the fact I can dust off the old pre (150 bucks on ebay) and get some use from it again. Sigh - I had such hopes for the pre.
