Some projects try to use a funding bar, that is shown to the user, when the funding is in risk the users know and donate more. The nag screen is effective, but if you are a donor already it can become somewhat annoying.

Thanks, that’s very useful, I noticed that the the donations are a in a low amount compared to the rest of the income, but it is more stable, if possible could you share your experience with the ko-fi platform and donations? Do you think it is an visibility problem, since it’s hard to break from dev sphere to mainstream?

I always imagined some sort of IP royalty, like you have an idea and implement it, then if someone build something over it for profit they need to pay a fixed percentage otherwise it would be free to use basically.

What about a modular software, a base version and the modules are paid ? It would maybe avoid ramification? And the user would have more freedom.

Did you check the temperature of the cpu and gpu? It might be a overheating problem that causes the fps drops.

Cloud services or features monetization are interesting, I’ve seen some companies do a community or a local version and the business version with more features.

I prefer AUR packages, but it depends on how many AUR dependencies it uses and how well maintained and used by others it is, I rely mainly on the official repo and try to use AUR and others in a complementary way, I also don’t run any AppImages, just the ones from open-source applications and that I trust minimally.

Why do you consider AppImages as last resort?

I can understand that in a distro the main repo need to be prioritized to avoid bloat of repetitive dependencies that could happen with a lot of AppImages.

I can’t understand why so many people are opposed to it as an supportive role from a practical and complementary perspective.

Canonical sure know how to name them.

Don’t give scientists ideas, the somewhat dire wolfs are already here and all.

Does the cable is okay? It could be a bad usb port or cable, also it’s better to use usb 2.0 for this kind of thing.

You can use adb with the phone turned on and unlocked with developer and debug mode enabled in configuration or you can use it in the recovery screen if the current recovery image allow it, fastboot only works in fastboot mode.

Don’t worry about bricking if your phone is detected in the computer and accept meaningful commands in adb or fastboot, even if the system loops or the screen is black or off, the system do not starting could just mean you missed something or made some mistake, in the worse case scenario.

If you have no idea what happened just try to go back to stock rom(the main system) and try to install /e/ os again.

About the change in windows working one night and not over morning could be windows updates or drivers being installed automatically by your system and overriding something that was working.

I wish there was a way to filter all sites that block me like this, at least my search would actually show results I can read

The red ball is socialist thus very radical…

I’m surprised that people consider Aurora store inferior to PlayStore. I’m not familiar with k-anonimity, but you can run aurora through a proxy.

That’s a big one, you can disable it, but if the other person has it enabled there is a possible leak after decryption also.

Both signal and molly are considered safe, a lot of apps use the same protocol as signal, most risk come from messages leaks before the encryprion happens.

Unfortunately, I’m not aware if they did external audits, but both codes are available in github.

The status quo isn’t proof that controlling what people do is possible?

Seems like a problem of logistics, the controlling of public opinion.

I understand that is hard to not carry all the world problems, specially for empathic people.

There’s a hardened “version” of signal called molly

It’s a competitive salary, because it is a salary and you have to compete with others to have it.

Now just go to work and casually say " I’m feeling very senior today" .
