Hiker, software engineer (primarily C++, Java, and Python), Minecraft modder, hunter (of the Hunt Showdown variety), biker, adoptive Akronite, and general doer of assorted things.
Yes. I donate to various open source projects (e.g., KDE, Sunshine, Dark Reader), the conservation fund, the ACLU, and the EFF.
As for how, I try to do it via their preferred platform on an annual basis instead of monthly (if possible) to minimize fees.
Why? I believe charity is a path towards shaping the world for the better (and I can afford to). Rule #1: take care of yourself before taking care of others.

This song. My freshman year roommate is probably responsible for a million of those plays and he ALWAYS played it at max volume on his laptop.
Either his mom filled out his roommate survey or the university didn’t read them. That was a rough semester.
I echo the suggestion to support local shops, but I do occasionally go with a larger chain… It’s not better pizza than the local shops it’s just a different pizza.
I tend to prefer Domino’s over Pizza Hut and especially over Papa John’s (something about their formulation tends to upset my stomach way more than any other pizza… Plus the former CEO is very active in politics and not in a way I approve of).
To my Domino’s tastes significantly better … Pizza Hut used to be great, but I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed every time I’ve tried it in recent memory.
There’s also local variance in these chains; some towns have a better Pizza Hut than Domino’s 🤷♂️
For me it’s a mix of what you said and how they treat their employees/where they’re making the product.
I spend extra time trying to find higher priced, higher quality, more fairly manufactured products.
ClamAV is mostly for filtering things on mail servers or uploads to a shared resource like a wiki.
You can also use it as a system virus scanner, but most viruses it detects are Windows viruses.
What companies use Kaspersky?
Isn’t this mostly a consumer level issue?
I’d settle for first party repair and a repair window of up to 20 years.
Modification is great and should always be legal… But I’d take the win to get away from so much throwaway technology.
Not as complicated, but the parts are bigger. Few would want an even bigger smart watch just to get repairability.
The memes that I remember being all over Reddit about “where did you get that code … I stole it [from stack overflow]” honestly terrified, and continue to, terrify me.
Man, that’s the kind of relationship I dream about… Though swap the climb for a hike because I’m deathly afraid of heights 😂
Just did a refresher per your request… We did not ever to my knowledge use civics tests. We used literacy tests and what made them particularly offensive was they had various exemptions for white people or simplified variants for white people.
I am very icy to the idea of tests in general due to the effects having a “test” to vote could have. However, having a very low bar test of some sort administered without exceptions … it might make sense.
We don’t let people drive whose eyes fail a safety test. Maybe we shouldn’t let people vote if they don’t even have a surface level understanding of what they’re voting for.
I’m not saying do it, but maybe we shouldn’t totally write it off because of some bad behavior without any safeguards to prevent bad behavior.
Maybe, but also maybe not. A test that’s targeted specifically at “do you understand how the government functions” is actually quite different from a lot of other tests and less likely to be subjective.
Like, if there was a question, what part of the government writes laws:
if you get that wrong, you probably shouldn’t be voting.
Calling RCS an industry standard is a bit… Questionable. Still, I’m happy to see Apple finally implementing it so there’s a good cross vendor texting implementation.
I wonder how this scales to large voice rooms.
Yeah… Even as a third party, I definitely have not been enjoying the smell when I’ve bumped into it. I don’t think it should be a criminal offense, but I hope we can move past “I need to light a thing on fire and just screw up the air for everyone in my vicinity.”
That’s really not even close to the optimistic scenario. It’s arguably not even in the pessimistic scenario if you’re not just in the “make stuff up club.”
We’re talking at most half a meter of rise by 2050, at most 2 meters by 2100, at most 4 meters by 2150. The intermediate projection is a third of a meter by 2050. The optimistic projection (which we’re not going to hit) is 3/20th of a meter.
Climate change is real. The risk of famine is real. The risk of global conflict is real. The risk of trying storms is real. However, “doomsday everybody dies” is not really on any serious projections. The worst case is “a lot of people in a lot of poor nations die and rich nations have more wars and more immigration.”
Plex is moving in the app direction… So Plex is probably moving away from what you want despite being one of the easiest options.
It would probably be helpful to know what you’re trying to accomplish beyond “what”. Like, why do you want to host your music and play it via a web browser.
It’s a shame, back when they were wikia and just hosted mediawikis with light ads, it was actually a really nice service.
FYI as someone that’s colorblind these captcha’s don’t seem to have anything specially relevant to being colorblind in them.
Now if they start showing me a dozen traffic cones and asking me to pick the green one, we might have a problem.
