Teams is their replacement, viable or not

It probably evens out to ~$20 usd/month between recurring donations and one time random donations to the internet archive, wikipedia and some specific open source contributors. Gaming for me is usually 1-2 new games a year so likely similar in cost.

I donate $5/month to lemmy, and am considering doing more for the other important projects out there.

The open source community is one of the most important anchors in our modern society, not only do we as every day people benefit, but communities like npm, gradle, pip, etc all benefit the financial system greatly. We do not do enough.

Nothing is a bargaining chip dealing with trump except money going directly to his bank account. They should literally just bribe him.

The verb choice of headlines is really a plague.

Slam, blast, hit, rip, and now swerve. Remarkable journalism.

When I was young, raised religious, there was an intense focus on finding purpose in life, almost as if there is no value to life itself without some end goal.

After leaving religion and superstition behind everything that is left is remarkable, fascinating, and beautiful. There's no need for life to have a purpose, a sunset doesn't need to clock in to work, a rock doesn't have an active role to perform but it's still fine for it to exist, us too.

I used to wish there was done grander purpose, but have you ever considered where that ends? Say you do have an ultimate purpose on earth, to collect all the smeeshmups, you do it and then what? Say your purpose is to be a good little Christian person and go to heaven, then what? Glorify some monkey with an anus for eternity because he agreed you did a good job? Yikes

You mean let him divest his interest and responsibility for a profit? That would be nothing but beneficial for him.

Not really misleading tbh, just because you don't have to reboot the server to get your update doesn't change the fact that it's an update?

Also per core? Jfc

Renting is genuinely the worst, some rando having complete control over your life simply because one time they happened to have or had been given enough money to cover a downpayment on a home? What a farce.

They can kick you out due to no fault of yours, they can raise your rent to any amount, they are obliged to do very little maintenance, it is literally the same as serfs of the past. You provide value to the land holder in exchange for living on "their" land.

I was lucky enough to transition to homeownership after many years of renting, it is much more expensive now but rent increases year over year forever, the mortgage is a fixed rate for however long it takes to pay off and in a few years the costs of rent vs mortgage will flip, with the mortgage being more economical.

Few people talk about the long term rent cost outlook, take a peek at what rent will be in 15, 30, 50 years and feel your knees tremble. Our system is broken and will likely never be fixed.
