   Come on everybody, If we just get let's say 4 million people paying 10 dollars a month for Firefox, we can replace the revenue that Firefox gets from Google.

     @sun @hfaust i'm getting upset with the free software / privacy movement more and more because nobody wants to put their money where their mouth is. kagi costs $5 a month? nah i'd rather stay with google who i hate. Conversation charges for their build on google play? SCAM. Gitlab gives out 90% of their stuff for free but needs to find some revenue to actually pay devs? Clearly they want to SCAM poor users. thank you for reading my blog post

     @lain @hfaust @sun free software advocates are all freeloaders now. They don't care if you're homeless and your family is starving, they just want your code for free.
     
     "But what about Aklilu in Ethiopia, he can't afford $10/month"
     
     No, but you definitely can so fucking pay for it already, you already had 20 years of it for free. Trade the cost of two candy bars per month for software that people put MILLIONS of hours into. It's the best fucking deal for technology in the history of mankind and you're crying about it being too much

     @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world I happily pay for Kagi.
     
     I have an aversion to giving Mozilla money because their browser out of the box is horrendous. All the Pocket, recommendations, and such are annoying. Also, my image of Mozilla is mostly negative. It's not substantiated by anything concrete. But there seem to be a lot of criticisms of them.
     
     The Mozilla Developer Network site is an amazing resource too. But I still have no interest in donating money to Mozilla.

     First, there's the fact that it's a crypto browser, and crypto is largely associated with scams of various kinds.
     
     Secondly, they whitelist a ton of ads from facebook and twitter. Not good.
     
     Thirdly, they spend a lot of time adding features nobody cares about and doesn't give people ways to disable them (VPN, some of the crypto stuff, etc).
     
     Rewards is not opt-in, it's opt-out? except apparently the opt-out doesn't work?

     Looking to migrate my assets to a realcoin like the yuan but need a way to simplify the process.

     @feld@bikeshed.party @lain@lain.com @hfaust@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world Louis Rossmann in a video said something like you should pay creators whose content you find valuable to you $1. Because viewers are worth like a few cents to creators due to the little ad revenue they receive.
     
     I think this is a very good idea. I like something, I give a dollar to a few bucks. It's basically nothing for me. But that pays for a lot of views from me. Same thing goes with open source software. If I find it useful, I see if they accept donations.
     
     I know if I made something open source and someone sent me a dollar, I'd be ecstatic that someone cares so much about my software to even think of giving me money. I once received an email thanking me for like $2 from a dev lol
     
     Granted, I know not everyone has disposable income to do that. But I think it's a good idea if one has the means.
     
     I refuse to give Google money for YouTube. I don't think they deserve it with how they treat content creators and users. I'd rather skip them and directly pay the creators off platform

     @redneonglow @EdBoatConnoisseur @neo I don't understand it either but I have worked for a nonprofit before that did it.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @sun @neo How is it even legal for a for-profit corporation to own a non-profit corporation?

     @feld@bikeshed.party @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world Software in the Public Interest accepts donations via Zelle which I think is great for people in the US since with most banks, that should be free for business I believe. It's useless everywhere else though.
     
     When I needed to send money to someone internationally, I chose a stable coin on a network with a fee that was less than a penny. And that worked really well

     @nav yes!, you get it.
     
     We can't get there until there's a ~free way to send money to other people on the internet.
     
     We can't fight back against the existing system unless we directly fund en-masse the things we care about.
     
     You could change lives with 25 cents if enough people are donating... allow people to work full time on these things they're really good at.
     
     I see two main hurdles: getting people to understand the value prop of this new form of p2p internet capitalsm, and getting people to mentally accept a digital currency.

     @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world @hfaust@shitposter.world People can start? People have been doing their own Firefox since literally forever. We literally don't need Mozilla.

     @SuperDicq @lain @sun You quite do, at least you'd need Mozilla as an upstream. Specially if you'd rather avoid launching effectively chromium or a webkit-gtk browser for the vast majority of webapps and mainsteam sites (which is where palememe, waterfox, SailfishOS browser, … falls off).
     
     Mozilla is likely a better upstream than Google but it's still a pretty bad choice, it's one of the many reasons why I picked WebKitGTK.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world Why do you need Mozilla as an upstream? My favorite Firefox fork is Palemoon.

     @SuperDicq @lain @lanodan if you plan on never syncing back with blink/webkit then it may be okay but chrome is completely saddled with google's business needs as an ad company
