In short, I do things because I like them, need them, want them to or would love to see them happen.

• Do I like seeing 80+ stars for lists.d? Yes!
• Would I love to see people using #NeoFloppy #SSDs for real?. Of course!
• Do I want to see more #PersonalLightVehicles instead of #SuperUserlessVehicles? Yeah, Duh!
• Do I hope for someone to build a tiny486 and use it with _OS/1337 for some #DataRecovery of #LegacyMedia? Shure...

But I didn't start any of these in expectation of anything. Neither Recognition nor Fame nor Money nor anything.

Would I love these to go big like #Linux did?

• Yes, because in the end that project was successful because @torvalds has been open to contributions and that's how #Linux came to "run on [almost] everything [it could be forced on]", and that could not have been done by a solo developer!

So yeah, folks should be glad that people actually do #FLOSS / #OpenSource in general and thank them, because without it, we'd have a way worse world!
