Approval delay (lemm.ee)
 

Hello, should I consider my application rejected if I haven't received an email after 24 hours? :(

How does this actually work? Would it only realistically affect people with their full name on their profile or who have a profile without their full name on them but that are linked to other services that DO have it?

Would this work like an open-source strava alternative?

Good, I wish NATO would disintegrate and European defence return to the competences of the European Union. I don't want my taxes to benefit the United States neither economically nor strategically. They've proven time and time again they want to go it alone. They want to be bosses of the world and everyone to answer to them. Fuck them.

Lingonaut seems promising, but it isn't open source, or at least not yet. The creator seems open to being convinced though?

Yeah, makes me wonder how much effort they put into the cooking...

That's an insane use of AI. When will people realise that the machine is very good at coming up with things that sound true without any regard for what things are true?

And, in 2025, the Pākehā keep deciding what happens to indigenous land and indigenous resources, without letting Maori have any voice in it. Toitū te Tiriti!

Yeah! It's definitely worth adding to my list of migration contenders now that lemm.ee is closing and I have to jump ship

Question about donating to open source (lemm.ee)
 

Hello, I started donating to my favourite open-source projects a couple years ago, but stopped about 6 months ago for different reasons and wanted to get back into it.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has a set system or process they follow when donating

  • How much money do you donate? A set amount, whatever you feel like, a percentage of your earnings?

  • When do you donate? Whenever you remember, on the first of the month, Thursdays?

  • Do you have a minimum donation amount?

  • How do you decide what projects to support? Do you forego donations if you've contributed in other ways? Do you keep a list?

  • Do you donate to all equally or do you have some sort of ranking? Is it by amount of use, subjective preference, something else?

  • What platforms do you prefer using? Liberapay, Opencollective, Patreon, ko-fi, Paypal, Monero, actual post?

So far the system I've devised for myself would go something like:

  • put 2 % of all my earnings, whatever they are, in a separate account
  • every quarter (on the first of January, April, July and October) donate the full amount of money in the account (with a minimum of 5 €, so as not to lose a big amount in fees)
  • keep a ranked list of projects that I've used or deemed important or promising in the last three months (projects I donated to recently go to the bottom of the list), things at the top get more money than things at the bottom
  • prioritise Liberapay since it's open-source itself
