@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

@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

@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.

@sun@shitposter.world Taylor Swift is fasc?!?! UNACCEPTABLE. No more plays on Spotify

@lain@lain.com I was paying a foreign language tutor who I'd meet with online in USDC on Solana because it cost less than a penny. Because they were outside the US, alternatives included Paypal and Western Union. But, those would've cost more. Cryptocurrency has a lot of cons, but for international money transfer, afaik, nothing beats it.

@sun@shitposter.world Skibidi toilet is commu-anarchist! Because under capitalism, no one is free!!!!!

The fascists can stfu with their colonial bs

@kaia@brotka.st I'm curious how this would increase costs per person though. Like a $1.25 USD candy bar would probably be rounded to $2. That difference could add up over time. Our currency is really inflated though. Individual pennies are not worth as much as several years ago

@sun@shitposter.world @mono@shitposter.world it sounds like a peppy female voice too and then the actual employee gets on who has a different tone lol

I went to a Wendy's drive through and it had something similar and I asked the drive through employee about it and he said it was his manager's idea

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo I tried watching that movie for the first time maybe about 6 years ago and found it to be the most boring movie I've watched in a long time and I like sci-fi

The book was an improvement, but confusing. I still don't really understand the ending.

@sun@shitposter.world I'd rather use Linux even though every so often I get a bug where I must force restart my machine (but I'm on Fedora, so I guess it's par for the course since it's supposed to be somewhat bleeding edge - I think I had issues on Ubuntu though before). Most of the time, it works fine

@kaia@brotka.st lmao
dumb but funny. what is this from?

@kaia@brotka.st nvm, looks like scary movie 4

@Tsuki@amami.paradigm-x.tokyo does the FBI have graphic designers? Like who's making these?

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com @sun@shitposter.world I got a CODE V2B (ten-keyless) on Craigslist some years back for $40. It's a decent keyboard. It doesn't look or feel premium like the Ducky 3 - there's no metal top plate and the CODE uses ABS keycaps. But, I'm happy with it. Maybe I'll change the keycaps sometime...

@kaia@brotka.st this is awful. If you request the desktop site, it won't give this pop-up. They obviously just want money/data. It's completely arbitrary

@kaia@brotka.st weird. I can find year round collection sites here. We have seasonal collection sites too, iirc. Some public works in my county has a drop-off site I went to once

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com I got White Rabbit ice cream from Costco. All I can say is glory to the CCP!

Jokes aside, it was really good ice cream and I'm disappointed it's gone. Interestingly, it really is state owned by the Chinese gov iirc

@kaia@brotka.st the woozy emoji really is good though 🥴 That and the clown emoji 🤡

@sun@shitposter.world I think I'd honestly trust you more with my DNA than 23andme
