Very true!
I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

Very true!
I’m not quite that organized,
I’ve donated around 2 euros to huge projects like Wikipedia when they have a donation campaign, or 20 euros to projects like draw.io when I notice on github that they haven’t met their monthly goal yet.
The amount and frequency completely depends on my financial situation at the time and I only donate when I am using a piece of software/project (so when I remember, basically) on my free time and decide to check updates/state of the project.
So I’m not a frequent donor to any specific projects and several months may pass without donating any money, but when I have a bit more disposable income and when I’m doing free-time computer related hobbies I take a sum (lets say 50e) and distribute that money depending on project size. Smaller projects get more (less likely to have a lot of donors) big projects less (hopefully they have a lot of people donating small amounts that add up).
Agreed, but I must admit I haven’t dug deeper so I have no clue.
IIRC lemmy.ml is the showcase server for lemmy software as a whole, so the organizations and individual donors who fund lemmy development also fund lemmy.ml
They mention the bigger donors here
Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I recall that one of the platinum donors gets their money to fund open-source software from EU.
+1 for voyager. I like other apps too but voyager has felt like a fresh breeze.
Off-topic but don’t want that link go to waste: your link is broken! (very cool project btw)
I would have given it a go, but reading their terms it seems they don’t like people having non-foss code there, and I would like to have both my foss and non-foss projects together on one platform.
I’ve been thinking about self-hosting forgejo though!
Edit: I did move from GitHub to GitLab, but don’t really wanna stay on GitLab either.
I also use lemmy (voyager app is awesome) but kbin also has an awesome app called Artemis, which got inspired by apollo for reddit.
Didn't know about this project, thanks for the tip!
Loved Kbin, but yeah the slow development made me come back to lemmy as well.
Thanks for telling me about Voyager, I feel like I finally found the app for me!
This whole quest scene was so unexpected, disturbing, hilarious and made me fall in love with the game. The timer for this choice makes the situation feel like a real intense JESUS FUCK WHAT DO I DO moment
I feel so hopeless, so pissed, all these news and how these corporations are destroying open web. I really had hope with new generations being more tech savvy and more online would push for openness of web, instead I’ve come to realize that new generations are really into apps and not going beyond that, not interested in deeper look into software and tech - as long as the gadget works and no matter any subscription cost or microtransactions or surveillance.
I try to be hopeful, but damn it is hard to stay optimistic. I’ve been trying little by little to push friends and family in a nice way into using Firefox, alternatives to big corporate software and so on, but I understand it takes too much effort for someone who is not really interested in these things. But I will be advocate of open web forever myself.
Edit: okay unfair to expect anything from new generations, and of course there are more tech savvy people than there probably use to be, but had hoped for a huge change in that demographic.
Okay, well hope a lemmy dev sees your request! :)
Ahh sorry now I get it, settings inside posts! I have to admit I have no idea how those work, I suspected that the language options you have inside a post are community specific settings that mods of a community control, or maybe they only offer undetermined and the language the post was made with? Hope someone who knows gives an answer!
Sorry not sure if I’m understanding your comment, but you already can multi select languages, the way I stated in the comment above: in the web UI go to your profile settings and hold CTRL to select another language you wish to see. You can choose as many languages as you want while holding CTRL.
I had that too. Was wondering why I don’t see posts in a community while logged in (I thought selecting only “undetermined” in your account settings shows you posts and comments of all languages), but someone told me you can select multiple languages in your profile by holding CTRL and selecting more languages. Suddenly started seeing MUCH more content.
Would love if this was developed further, for example actually making “undetermined” show all languages.
This comment, I felt a call to it, like I need to comment: now by two active users.
Oh no, not sure I want that.
The reason I’m not sure, is because I woke up at 5 am to do my morning run while making cold calls and preparing to open another business because my baby was born 2 hours before and taught me about B2B marketing in AI powered age.
