I try to support all the open source projects I regularly use with small but recurring (ie predictable) amounts. Liberapay is great for this, but not everybody is on it yet unfortunately.
Some of the projects:

• Arch - no easy way for recurring donations but every time the aur has gone down when I needed it during the recent attacks on archlinux.org I just go throw a financially unwise amount of money at them again to spite the attackers
• KDE - I don’t even use plasma anymore (switched to hyprland but I’ve heard enough of the controversies that I’m not donating to them lol) but I still love KDE
• codeberg - they host a lot of my projects so at the least I wanna cover what I cost them plus a bit
• matrix.org and my matrix server specifically - both put out great services for free and my homeserver specifically hosts the absolute fuckton of pictures and videos I regularly send/receive so I owe them a lot
• piefed - piefed is sick as fuck and @rimu does a good job
• lemmy.zip/piefed.zip - great homeserver and extremely transparent
• voyager - my fav piefed app so far, and hopefully with more donations it’ll get even better
• probably more I’m forgetting rn

I’m not sure this last one counts as an NPO but it’s relevant here so I’m including it anyway: @[email protected] puts out the best OC I’ve come across on lemmy so sometimes I throw money his way to help pay for knives lmao.

For anyone else who wants to support the projects they use and keep the internet free, definitely check out liberapay. It’s still a bit clunky, but it lets me budget a monthly amount I can afford and then split it however I want among all the projects I use no matter what that overall amount is. Smaller donations can be paid in lump sums for many months to cut down on processing fees, and liberapay tracks it for you and more importantly lets the recipient know what the giving schedule is so the project/person you support can have a clear budget rather than unpredictable bursts of money with no guarantee there’ll ever be more coming.

If it’s not clear yet I’m super passionate about liberapay and also donate to them 😂

For me (safari on iOS) a long press brings up an expanded title, although that song’s title is so unusually long I had to drag it to the far corner of the screen to see it all lmao

When I’ve seen you post before I assumed it was an eragon reference, what’s the real origin then? Is that Esperanto or something?

Damn I was ready for this to be some pop culture dude who made an annoying song or something, but I support your hatred even more if he was the final boss of colonialism

I have genuinely no idea who this person was but I uncritically support your hated of him just cuz you’re so passionate about it

You could run the crack in a vm without networking if you want a safe way to test it, although even if it appears to work I’d personally prob just keep the program in the vm to be safe

I saw a husky and assumed your title was for husky screams 😭

For anyone else who’s thinking the title is a joke, IT IS NOT

You commenting with interesting bacon trivia is nominative determinism at its finest lmao

Steak is a really good example of what I’m talking about, thanks for adding this

Probably the most relatable one around here is the way people on reddit used to talk about bacon - in like 2010s reddit it was almost mythologized, which was weird to me even back then when I still ate and enjoyed bacon. There’s a bunch of other small examples like that I’ve run into pretty regularly that are each innocent on their own but taken all together are just… odd. “Cultish” was probably too strong of a word but I couldn’t think of a better alternative (then or now) for the way some people treat meat so differently than any other type of food, including ones you might expect to be more exciting like deserts or something.

I’m not one to try to tell people their opinions on subjective stuff are wrong and that’s not what I’m trying to say here, but I just do really think there’s more to the way some people treat meat than just it being a type of food they enjoy. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense lol

For me, it’s delicious in dungeon. I’m vegetarian and generally very weirded out by the cultish behaviours people have around meat, so a show about people killing and eating monsters should definitely not be as enjoyable to me as it is, but here we are. Very fun and cute show tho so I’m not complaining

I’m shocked nobody has said game of thrones yet

We both shit on people’s lawns

As long as votes are tied to your account they won’t be private, because at the least the admins of your server (whether lemmy, piefed, or reddit) can see them. The difference with lemmy and piefed is that because of federation, the admins of any instance can see them - so anyone interested could just make their own instance, federate with your home server, and then see your votes.

As long as this is the case, it makes more sense to not try to pretend that votes are private and make ineffective attempts to hide them, imo.

If this isn’t something you’re on board with, though, you may want to look into piefed cuz iirc @rimu was working on a way for piefed instances to only federate a vote total and not individual user votes. AFAIK your votes would still be visible to your instance admins, which gives it an equivalent level of vote privacy to reddit (except that you get to choose who to trust, which is a pretty large benefit).

If we’re optimizing for cheap and nutritious a lot of the existing answers are probably pretty great, but if there’s no other restrictions on the diet I think we could optimize a little further.

The cheapest way I can imagine to get a nutritional meal is to find someone who eats fully nutritional meals, and then eat them.

I wish I could say I commented this late at night or something, but nope I’m just dumb lmao thanks

the only* non-zero function whose derivative is itself

* except its multiples such as −2 𝑒𝑥, which are… just… uh… derivative works

I think you forgot about e^x + 1, and e^x + 2, and … …

(My profs always dunked on me for forgetting the + c and I can’t resist doing it to someone else, I’m sorry)

For real tho, great explanation

If a community looks empty it may just be that nobody on your instance is subscribed so it hasn’t federated - looking at the web frontend of the host instance is a good way to check for real. If you like what you see on the web, subscribing from the app should bring new content in as it’s posted

I’m a fan of the c/whatever terminology personally

Really? I could’ve sworn I’d played that on Linux before, unless it’s been a lot longer than I thought since I touched it. Are we talking BTD6 on steam specifically?

I’d put the unlimited budget to work miniaturizing a drone fleet powerful enough to maintain position / reliably follow the user thru storm winds that hold a large umbrella-style cover over you.

I never use umbrellas cuz I feel like they’re annoying to carry and you still get wet, but if it just reliably kept me dry with no extra work on my part I’d be more interested.
