I would welcome a utility that makes it easy to find donate links for my software packages, based on my Apt, Flatpak, and F-Droid package lists.

The picture was slow to load for me, and I expected Beanie Babies or some kind of precious metal or BitCoin.

Have you considered turning it into a paint ball arena?

It probably wouldn't be a good investment, but it would make a great story.

I'm a developer, so my chances are pretty good. But I take your point.

Even if I weren't, there's enough software options out there that I don't have to pick between paying for proprietary software and living with abandonware.

So I think the need for this security is exaggerated.

Of course. I used proprietary software for a long time. Having things I relied on get abandoned got old, but it worked.

I just expect more from most of my software, now.

I'm happy to pay for software, but I want more than just permission, I want long term security that my investment in the tool will last.

If IntelliJ would open source their oldest versions, I would make my boss buy me a copy of the newest version every year.

the smog monster voiced by Tim Curry. His song made me feel things.

You're in for a real treat if you haven't seen "The Rocky Horror Motion Picture Show" yet.

I hear you. Gadget Hackwrench is the one. I'm actually a little afraid to watch the 2022 movie in case something bad happens to her.

It was fun, and Tress delivered another delightful performance. Her total screen time was less than I expected, but I guess the movie was trying to fit a lot in.

And to every other bidder, too, of course.

Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it's totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?

That's how many of us upgraded to Linux.

There should be a setting for enabling or disabling every single system call under the "advanced" permissions menu for each app.

That's what GrapheneOS adds.

It's interesting that Google hasn't merged those features back into Android, itself.

I can explain this chart: SO and AI both give me questionably useful example code, but AI isn't as much of an asshole about it as the average SO user.

The time you “save” in the beginning, you’ll have to use it later to rewrite the code to do what you intended in the first place.
