It might also not look good on them if they used the unrestricted donations in a very unbalanced way to counter restricted donations the way you describe, so they might get less unrestricted donations in the future.
It looks like one can donate towards the LF as a whole [1], but the LF manages a ton of other projects besides Linux. So if was possible to restrict small donations towards the development of the Linux kernel, that would be great.
It's likely that in order to avoid distributing Apple IP one would need to reverse engineer some undocumented APIs, but that's coincidental.
I might play with imageworsener to see if I can figure out the exact downscaling method.
edit: ah, you beat me to it. I just played with Inkscape and word spacing to match that line. The scanned document looks very lightly slanted, but I don't think it matters too much.
I think the downscaled version could potentially be deciphered if the exact font is identified.
It actually worked decently when I tried it back then.
When those implementations eventually pick up C23, they surely could fix the bug as well. At best this should have been an errata/defect for the previous standard, so that the previous standards document behavior of implementations of said standards.
I don't think that hash colliding artifacts would necessarily be obvious. They could be in part of a file that ends up being ignored by parsers of the file format. Or it could be some low level noise in pixel values in scanned documents.
I wonder how widely it's actually used and if making this an exposed modular interface was worth it.
