Understand I this well very
If I had this I'd probably just become the neighborhood ISP, sell 1 gig symmetrical to 49 houses for $100/mo and you're no longer paying for that connection after 9 customers
Permits, a mini JCB, buried fiber runs and stuff would be expensive though... as well as routers for each customer... ah maybe I'd pass on that business opportunity actually ๐
I do the same
Another option i'm aware of is CTRL+C, T, V and enter (Keyboard combo to Copy, open new tab, paste, go)
This article basically saved me leaving a longer comment ๐ this used to happen to all my steel cookware, but I've changed how I cook with them now and haven't had it happen since
As for "supporting the dev" I don't really get this concept. Do you know them personally? Surely the point would be to support development of something you want rather than the people behind it. I'm in favor of supporting software development if it doesn't violate any of my principles such as being adware.
The following is my opinion ๐
If you're familiar with software development, for these apps the dev is the "product owner": they have a vision for the direction of the app/project, the look and feel, the purpose, and the experience. The project is essentially no more than an incarnation of what that product owner wants, and they are likely the most active (or sole) code contributor. Without this product owner, the project can start to stagnate, deviate, or begin to make trade offs. In most cases, the project may serve as the product owner's primary source of income. These projects are where youโd be supporting a developer
This kind of thinking doesn't really fit into every project though, which is probably the perspective you're looking from: e.g. Debian, yt-dlp, and various other open source projects that have a set goal or purpose, and guidelines/rules for volunteers on how to fit their contributions into this puzzle. There may still be product owners here, but things are much more democratic and open. A product owner, if present, may also have a much more hands-off role. These projects are where you are supporting the development itself
Apparently I can't count ๐ณ
Just three for me:
- Niagara Launcher Minimal launcher, a nice FOSS alternative is Kvaesitso (hope I spelt that right lol)
- Grayjay Multimedia platform that aggregates video and text content from platforms like Patreon, Nebula and YouTube
- Nebula Streaming service owned by creators
- Plex & Plexamp
Everything else is mostly either FOSS, proprietary selfhosted, or a stock app
$69,420 is a very Nice salary
When a human solves a problem, we like to think that it occurs in discrete steps with simple goals: "First I will draw a diagram and put in the known information, then I will write the governing equations, then simplify them for the physics of the problem", and so on.
I wonder how our brain even comes to formulate these steps in a way we can comprehend, the amount of neurons and zones firing on all cylinders seems tiring to imagine
SMS is pretty useless for exfiltrating data, however it's very useful for charging random individuals if you have remotely infiltrated their device IMO
In some countries, special SMS messages can charge you money (billed to either your contract, or withdrawn from your call money immediately if you don't have a contract)... They are usually used for gambling and TV competitions though
Several years ago on YouTube I was watching people rig up their own disused rail carts using battery drills, lawnmower engines and all sorts lol
Why the abrupt ending? Where's the rest ๐ญ did Britannica launch their own competing product? How did they react to Encarta's success? Where are both products today?
