  • When raspis came out like 12 years ago, I was still in my teenage years, and I wanted to keep one on the network. My mother was fucking terrified because it generated heat.

    5V 1A means nothing to these people and no amount of facts will shut them up. Some people just inherently fear the unknown. Mixed with willful ignorance, it can be an infuriating combo.

  • Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube

  • What are you fucking on about lmao? Most channels that run a patreon, use it as their main source of income unless they also sell merch.

    Everyone from giant channels like Linus Media Group, to medium and small-sized ones like Technology Connections, and Cathode Ray Dude.

    I mean pretty much everyone I watch that has talked financials has mentioned how important patron is.

    Some of them like Botgrinder literally for the most part, only make money through patreon because of YT's restrictive demonetization guidelines. Yet despite the lack of ad-revenue the guy is able to live off of a 50k sub channel where he pretty much smokes weed and flies FPV quads.

    As for FLOSS, that heavily depends the projects. Huge ones used by corporations sure, but who's footing the bill for newpipe, Yt-dlp, Jellyfin, Pihole, And pretty much every video game emulator ever written? People like you (probably not considering your attitude), and me.

  • This isn't some magical world, this is how most open source software projects and even online content creators make their money.

    Creators make way fucking more from patron than AdSense, even if its only a percentage of their audience. Do you know how much fucking watch time it would take to match the $5 a month I give to several of my favorite producers of online video?

    A lot more than either your or I have time for, certainly more than the content they create.

    You need only a sliver of your audience to pay, and platforms like patron prove this works.

    The fact you're baffled by even a small percentage of people donating to gratis projects says a lot about how you value volunteer labor, and its pretty fucking sad.

  • You don't need all, or even most users money. Plenty of people make enough money off of the portion of their fanbase that pays them to not only survive, but thrive and grow.

    You don't need all, or even most. You don't need this to be the norm for it to be sustainable.

  • Third of people in Spain say local area has too many foreign tourists

  • I'm sympathetic when this happens to a small village in south america or something, or even just a natural resource.

    Europe has pulled far too much colonialistic bullshit to whine about tourism in their cities IMO. Your culture got into everything, you can live with other cultures too.

  • Glad I run everything in a VM. If you want my money you can accept donations, and sell support contracts.

    The moment you hide features or code behind a paywall or proprietary license, is the moment you no longer get my fucking money.

    Granted random weirdos who donate to FLOSS projects probably weren't paying dockers bill anywho.

  • Giving it a once over with a soapey sponge to get the gunk from what you just made off while it's still hot is fair game.

    Make sure to rinse/dry it immediately, put it back on the burner while its still hot. Rub in a small amount of olive oil into the surface w/ a paper towel while still warm on the burner, then let them cool together.

    I'm garbage at cooking, but that's how ma taught me to take care of them, and shes very much not garbage at cooking.
