I think spending all of it on feeding people who are starving. You could keep a lot of people alive on a million, even if it was just for long enough to give them a second chance on their own. And even if that second chance failed, then at least all of the goodness of those people would have more time to be in the world.
Are you planning to build an aquarium by any chance?
By the way; which messaging platforms, protocols or ‘services’ are currently supported by Pidgin? I haven’t looked at it in a while.
Was the plugin open source?
Edit: looks like it wasn’t and the incident has prompted more more transparency. Good stuff.
That’s really cool :D The creative photography that I’ve rediscovered has given me a reinvigorated sense of my artistic self-woth. The Hi-8 tape footage i’ve processed so far is more candid and bit of a mind-warp though…
Just the other day I came across some CDs that I used to back up some important data about 15 years ago (and which I thought I’d lost). They were absolutely pristine 👌
You are a true martyr my friend and I feel you!
Sweet! I’ve experimented with installing a few bits from gnome look but haven’t made any of my own. How difficult is it? I’ve managed to theme my favourite terminal applications though. A big part of my satisfaction is based on feeling, a large part of which is visual. Diehard instrumentalists may look down on me for it but I am unashamed and not alone.
I’m at the point in my Linux journey where I have settled into a stable system, configured 99.9% how I want it. Seeing diminishing returns on effort put into tweaking it. But I just keep looking at window managers. I have people who need me in the world but I just can’t stop looking at them. I don’t know what to do.
Does XMPP support voice/video calls?
Hey, I came across this site today which sells FOSS merch (including stickers) and thought of you:
I would be interested to see how the numbers of black people addicted to crack in the 80s compares to the number of white people addicted to prescription opioids today.
I am totally cool with F-droid.
The usual stuff I guess; keeping minimal or no customer data, located in a country which isn’t participating in international surveillance agreements (Five Eyes et al), no wishywashy privacy policies etc.
Would peer to peer apps be resistant to this sort of thing?
I want stickers too but have struggled to find the ones I want (FOSS software and privacy/digital rights organisations). I do have access to low-cost sticker printing though. I thought a nice setup would be to start an online shop selling these kinds of stickers and use to proceeds to cover the cost of printing + running the shop and to send money to the developers of the applications/organisations.
I haven’t been able to find a dedicated shop for this. Wanna start one?
Canada should agree to do it but only on the basis that the US starts paying its way as a member of NATO.
I’m aware I’m not properly answering your question here but it sounds like you might be better off ditching Adobe and using something like GIMP or Krita. I went through a period when I was struggling with my cracked version of photoshop and not getting anything done and discovered it was much more efficient and relaxing to spend a couple of hours learning GIMP.
If you’d rather use photoshop that’s fair enough but I thought I’d just share my experience and offer a nudge in a different direction :)
