To me, they’re a lot like supporting a YouTube creator you like on a funding website like Ko-Fi (or that other one that starts with a P), you don’t pay to watch their content, you pay because you enjoy their content and want them to get better at it, and you get some freebies in return that never feel necessary for those who can’t afford or don’t want to spend money on them.

It’s also why on Bandcamp, you can choose to pay more than the asking price for a song/album if you really feel like it. You never need to, but you can because you care about the artist’s work.

FOSS can really benefit a lot from voluntary donations, especially since making software (especially good software) and maintaining it costs money. This is especially the case for a website that relies on maintaining servers and instances.

I know the BBC has made a Mastodon instance as a test some time ago. If only other broadcasters did something like that.

I always thought Dooland was a better name.

I guess dual-booting is still a necessity for some of us, unless you have a single hard drive and your Windows installation decides to randomly break.

Good job

The Steam Deck is trying to make Linux gaming more hassle-free, but it’s not like we’ve reached that stage yet. Still, we’re taking steps.

I’m a recent Mint user as well. The transition felt pretty seamless so far.

That alone is a great introduction to Linux.

I didn’t attend any of that stuff, and to be honest, I kinda wish I did. It looks so fun.

I… actually never hated Comic Sans and never understood why it was so hated. I mean, at least everyone knows about it.

I always thought the Algerian font was ugly as hell (it probably has nothing to do with Algeria)

The letters in bold spell “gold”, just in case you didn’t see it.

If Linux didn’t exist, we would actually end up with a lot of e-waste, and I mean a fuck ton of it. And it’s all thanks to you, Microsoft.

Hell, Linux does exist, and people just don’t wanna use it because they’re so used to Windows that anything else is basically as steep of a learning curve as a literal cliff. And to those people I say: “just add some mint on it and life will be easy. Maybe even drizzle some cinnamon on it as well”

No, not double boing. It went triple boing.

It was basically the time period where nothing happened (well, not literally nothing), and in a lot of ways, I liked that. It gave me time to focus a bit on my mental health. Life in general was on pause. It felt so… relaxing. And then the miracle wore off and we went back to life being absolute garbage.

I wish we can rewind…

Jacksfilms even made a joke about the DS Lite when the first Galaxy Z Flip came out. Just thought I’d mention that.

So, basically the description of dystopia as seen in 1984 is applied differently depending on which country you live in, but it still technically exists everywhere. And that’s just depressing.

Google Nose?

(Yes, that was real, and yes, that was an April Fools joke)

And now I wish I was in the EU, at least so that Big Tech doesn’t shit on me repeatedly.

I still rely on it for the Google Assistant, possibly the only Google related thing I still use that isn’t YouTube.

And no, I’m not switching to Gemini.
