I used to think I would donate 100% to software with my leftover money. Which is still true to a large extent but nowadays I feel like the real value for open source to succeed is not software, but hardware. We have significant amount of momentum in the software space and it would be wise for us to develop an opensource alternative to the industry with a good hardware base for {Desktop, Server, Mobile} with mobile being the most difficult to enter what with licenses to be obtained for closed source SIM Card drivers.

That said, what's holding me back right now is that inflation is biting all of us in the ass and it seems prudent not to give away money in the off-chance that "What if I need it for some random expense?".

I wish I could contribute my time in open source but between work, health and social obligations there's hardly any time or interest left to be excited to open up the text editor for a coding sesh at 9.30 pm in the evening, especially when video games, movies or fun with the spouse are the competing activities.

Edit: On pressing the button to publish my comment I felt incredibly foolish as server is already a won space I reckon. Even desktop is fine i guess, only problem is mobile right now.

"Romantic Interests" A.k.a stalking children because they're pedos.

No part of what Trump is involved with is poorly understood except for his supporters.

I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously... the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it's more apt to say this is "virtualbox-ui"

That takes reading from existing users.

Also not all answers are perennial for a question. So it makes sense to ask them again. In that case, closing a question as duplicate is absurd.

Warming isn't the only thing to worry about. Pollution needs to be reined in too. So does it really matter that global temps increased in the short term? Dirty emissions contribute to long term global warming. So it's better to curb them at the source than to bet on dodgy carbon capture promises.

My longshot hypothesis: White people generally don't face the same hardships that marginalized groups face.. i.e. unable to realize presence of any glass ceiling of their fellow POC or women cohorts.

So their experience filters out candidate problems that require their immediate attention. POC or LGBT fight for their community of POC or LGBT people as they grow up facing the same problems.

White people probably don't have most of the people problems and thus turn towards Animal or Environmental welfare.

Can we petition to rename it Missipississipy?

Yeah but the right way to do it is to stop oil subsidies

If you need something in a pinch to substitute a tool you memorized, skill issue is a valid excuse to reject Linux.

Rent seeking should be banned unless there is significant continued investment by the owner.
