Imagine using this stuff

I am all in favor for spreading donations across many - especially smaller - projects. I think that there are two levels to donations:

• The monetary one. Donating helps fund development either by paying for a full-time dev or by helping the dev stay financially stable to do a bit less work hours so they have time for the project.
• The psychological one. Most people that publish their code online are not expecting this to become big. And when a stranger from the internet appreciates their code enough for a donation this is a huge motivational factor.

I even tend to think that donating 5€ more to GIMP is less valuable than giving the money to some random project.

But Linux consists of more than 1 GUI?

I disagree with the other poster. Work isn’t (shouldn’t be) a place that is disjoint from the rest of our time. Making such an effort can be worth :)

No, sporadic bugfixes if the “maintainers” feel like it. It’s dead. See https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/

Stop recommending OnlyOffice.

Rather skill than distro

I hope that you will never publish a book.

How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn’t.

I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.

Windows 7 -> Windows 10 -> Mint -> Kubuntu -> Arch -> Fedora -> Mint -> Fedora.

I am aware of that possibility, but a truly FOSS MOBA would be amazing. Custom balancing on different servers, different queues, etc.

I noticed a few users starting to do this and it annoys me to no end. You don’t need to put a link in every comment

That’s fair. I feel like that would be a more valid criticism.

Not to mention anything posted on the internet is effectively public domain

Well, no.

• Linux in name
• Disrespectful towards copyleft licenses

WOW YOU ARE SUCH A NICE PERSON

a) Your license footer is really cool! I will start including it as well.

b) Aren’t quotes a bit problematic, as you include them in your work? This one is probably fine, as you (quite artistically) paraphrased it but direct quotes would be a problem, right?

Unironically thank you for licensing your comments! :)

I guess it is somewhat like paying in cash for your groceries: While anonymous, only you buy at this time of the day your favourite 3 food products, a cup of gluten-free instant ramen and a period product.

I would be concerned about this scenario:

• Company X has your TV data (but doesn’t know your name, etc)
• Company Y, Z, … know your name and have data on you.
• They buy/share/whatever data and intersect it. Now they can probably connect the data they have on you.
