Yeah, screw em. I use mine to produce lots of stuff.
I try to avoid producing too much manure though.
I think lots of IT people have an extremely limited experience of what it is to produce something.
I mean if opening a ssh hole to the whole world to fuck with is an important part of what they consider “production” - well I’m not really into those types of websites.
“stable” release of Arch?
If I pray to you will I be able to get my printer to work?
you’d have to encrypt your messages, and manage who has the keys for it to be private.
It’s a donation so you’re never going to have perfect pricing everything down to the nearest penny or remunerating each person-hour worked. I think It’s about something rough and ready that is better than nothing. And it’s all goverened by morality anyway . . .
so doomed to failure on that side.
Buy hypothetically a simple principle with reasonable administration cost, like each 3 months, each node shoud add up all donations, slice off 25-50% , split it equally among their top 5 or 10 most important dependencies - just guess, and maybe swap from quarter to quarter if if there’s doubt. There’s some wiggle room there for small projects to do less and large over funded projects to do more.
Each node in the network could follow a simple rule like that, making a limited number of transactions each time period ,and you’d probably end up with quite a complex outcome after a few iterations (years).
The real trick would be having enough nodes in the network that actually enact such a simple rule. (Apart from having enough donations flow in to the consumer level projects of course).
But enough nodes and enough inflow and the fractal would work for you - roughly.
THe speed is an issue, the more often you settle up then quicker people see money, but the more the admin cost.
But even doing it quaterly is not slower than doing nothing.
Such a model is not something anyone will be securing bank loans off though, so if that’s the point then you probably need a paid licensing / service model of some sourt maybe Canonical and redhat.
Someone tried “April & Bob” once, but MS excel converted it to date.
When I buy a turnip from the grocery store I don’t have to pay the farmer directly.
If I donate to debian, that I depend on , then debian (morally) should disburse some of that donation to the linux kernel that debian depends on.
it is what it is.
Isn’t the whole point of git that the repo is cloned in a million places. You can switch the remote repo really easily?
Maybe i’m wrong; I stopped using github years ago. And I don’t do a lot of collaborative stuff, so I’m happy with just local git + rsync, local backups for most things. Maybe it has loads of unique features I’ve never noticed.
I’m sure there are ways to scrape other data off the platform too. For example:
https://docs.codeberg.org/advanced/migrating-repos/
I’m not saying the alternatives are necessarily better for every project. Maybe github really is best for some - but it is a choice of the project to use github. They can move if they prefer the set of features of another repository.
I’m not convinced by anyone using “critical mass” justification for choosing github, that sounds like stockholm syndrome even though you have a key to the door.
“Too lazy to switch” that’s legitimate; if a wee bit dissapointing.
“Doesn’t allow my special sauce proprietary licence” - well . . .
Crazy.
It’s not too much of a stretch to apply that to selling a CD; the vendor would have to prove that they didn’t make a copy?
Guilty before proven innocent.
This could even go as high as a ‘don’t buy’

not all of them.
some of thm are grumpy loners - at least in terms of humans.
some are skittish around humans (probably a good trait in general for such a creature)
some are friendly to humans.
some are more curiois and inquisitive.
some are quite stay-at-home / clean freaks.
some are more agressive / territorial,
some are ingeniuos and have better problem solving / building / physical manipulation skills.
quite a range of different personalities.
and their behaviour often also relates to their group dynamic and social standing - as they’re social and rely on each other in complex ways.
I’m sure we’ll never know all the psychological and social complexities of other species of life (or even our own).

this is a sometimes useful website for sharing logins - especially for websies that shouldn’t need logins.
Their “own interests”
this is a key phrase here for me.
Once a person has a modest amount; is it in their interests to eat more and get fat, or to live in a place where other people share in having a modest amount, or, at least have a fair oppotunity to get a modest amount.
A person’s morality will influence the scope of their concept of “own interests”.
And therefore how much they want beyond meeting their “own basic needs” before they start caring more about neighbours with unfulfilled “basic needs”.
I don’t really know how oil corps are going to be “held to account” at an international level in any effective way. Who is going to do what to them? for how long? with what mandate? Edward Norton with some home made soap?
Oil/coal corps seem to be better at creating laws for the benefit of them than democratic processes are for the benefit of people. Even in countries that they don’t operate in (especially if they want to operate there).
I think underlying it all is a prisoners dilemma / tragedy of commons type situation - co-operative solutions can sometimes emerge and even persist, but they can be unstable or easier to destabilise than would be nice. Coupled with a large power imbalance (since wars, military and oil are all quite closely related).
If a person can reduce the amount of fossil fuels they use directly and indirectly, or modify their lifestyle / environment to use less of it, then that might be their best (only) method to actually erode their power (however slightly).
I think I’d quite like to try out a society that praised things like humility, modesty, selflessness
and vilified things like, gluttony, vanity. envy, pride, greed.
I’m not sure where i’m going to find one of those - it’d probably get attacked by some international agency that claims to have intelligence.
i have approximately SD card amount.
if i were to rip it all lossless or higher bitrate then i’d have approximately, "larger sd-card " amount.
sd card slot plus headphone jack is necessary for me.
why is my 10 year old second hand phone better at basic music + video tasks than almost anything currently available , for the sake to a couple of quid worth of parts?
Things like freetube seems to be basically a simple yt front-end.
I don’t know what happens if a significant amount of yt users used freetube. but that probably won’t happen.
I find it a lot more pleasant to use than yt.
