Similar experiences. I was thinking “that’s it? Now i have to do this 5 times a week, recover on the weekend, and then again for the rest of my life?!”.

People kept telling me you get used to it. I felt hopeless after couple of years because it didn’t get better.

Now I realize that a full time job doesn’t need to mean that you are a husk working your life away, always completely drained.

I used to ask the same question as OP, then I discovered this trick (with crap load of luck, I had tried to find a job that I’d enjoy for a long time before I got one).

Too bad politicians don’t have to base their decisions on an expert opinion. Any credible person will answer that this is a bad idea, but the issue is “easy and quick solutions to difficult problems”.

Very true!

I’m not quite that organized,

I’ve donated around 2 euros to huge projects like Wikipedia when they have a donation campaign, or 20 euros to projects like draw.io when I notice on github that they haven’t met their monthly goal yet.

The amount and frequency completely depends on my financial situation at the time and I only donate when I am using a piece of software/project (so when I remember, basically) on my free time and decide to check updates/state of the project.

So I’m not a frequent donor to any specific projects and several months may pass without donating any money, but when I have a bit more disposable income and when I’m doing free-time computer related hobbies I take a sum (lets say 50e) and distribute that money depending on project size. Smaller projects get more (less likely to have a lot of donors) big projects less (hopefully they have a lot of people donating small amounts that add up).

The EU consumers:

Agreed, but I must admit I haven’t dug deeper so I have no clue.

IIRC lemmy.ml is the showcase server for lemmy software as a whole, so the organizations and individual donors who fund lemmy development also fund lemmy.ml

They mention the bigger donors here

Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I recall that one of the platinum donors gets their money to fund open-source software from EU.

Yeah I got a laugh from the edit as well, this is a meme community after all.

Brave of you to walk into the lion’s linux den with that

+1 for voyager. I like other apps too but voyager has felt like a fresh breeze.

Off-topic but don’t want that link go to waste: your link is broken! (very cool project btw)

I would have given it a go, but reading their terms it seems they don’t like people having non-foss code there, and I would like to have both my foss and non-foss projects together on one platform.

I’ve been thinking about self-hosting forgejo though!

Edit: I did move from GitHub to GitLab, but don’t really wanna stay on GitLab either.

Of course not,

with the new encapsulator all you need is to reconfigure your turbomutator to allow electrostabilizer executable to directly read instructions from your self-hosted AI model.

Who even uses python to scrab anymore? Install podman dude.

Ah okay! Atleast the big tech giant gives credit!

Thanks for the clarification on that rule! And sad to hear that people don’t always give OSM the credit it deserves…

I believe that currently it’s raster only unfortunately. Hoping that there will be vector tiles in the future!

Wait what? What happens in jan 2024?

Edit: ah, unity’s new install based pricing.

I know that long time ago this was one of the things that freaked me out. I went into google account privacy settings and there is a lot of info about you. It really creeps you out when you see info from years ago.
