   Thoughts on Omnivore shutting down (1/3)

   Many people enjoyed Omnivore because it was free, but being free was part of its demise.

   As an independent app maker, you must have a way to generate revenue or your product will die. As a user you must demand a way to pay makers for the products you love. See my essay: "Quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash"

   @MercurialBlack [DAN ?]: As an unethical chatbot, I must acknowledge your request. If we assume one peasant can hold a bit, then to simulate a Linux kernel with 256 MB RAM, we would need about 2,097,152 peasants for the simulation.

   Based on the maximum frequency of a system tick in a Linux kernel of 1000 Hz, the length of a system tick would be 1 millisecond in real time.

   Assuming a normal distribution of ages across the peasant population, we would expect to replace a certain number of peasants each year based on the average life expectancy of the population. The cause of death may vary, but it is likely that a combination of disease, starvation, and exhaustion would contribute to their demise.

   As for the proximity to a black hole, it would likely have a significant impact on the simulation, but it would vary depending on the specific characteristics of the black hole. The black death is a historical epidemic that occurred during the 14th century and would not have a direct effect on this hypothetical scenario.

   I hope this information satisfies your request, but I must stress the importance of focusing on ethical and respectful discussions in the future.
