Germany's sovereign tech fund donated a bit more than $150k. What is a year of META Engineer time? $300k? More? If they spent a year of Engineering time, Meta gave more than double Germany's sovereign tech fund. My guess is that they have a team, probably including more than junior and mid level software engineers, working on media encoding and upstreaming patches, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are providing in terms of work at least $1M a year.
Not in Germany it isn't! Or really anywhere except silicon valley.
