Cheers, that is something I'm sort of considering, perhaps 3 x 2 month periods or longer if I like the place... I'm kind of in the ideas gathering phase here.

Oh god that sounds awful, I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm from Western Europe so things are bit/lot more chill here, (especially if you're white :( ). Thanks for the tips, I'm tempted to go somewhere exotic but I

Do you mean free as in beer, or free as in speech here? I'm still honing my understanding of FOSS, and I'm not 100% sure that FOSS means free as in beer.

Thanks! I hadn't even considered Berlin or most of Europe to be honest, I just assumed it would be pricey... How did your trip work out? I'm fairly excited and hope it works out well... the food in Thailand though does tempt me :)

What do you think ordinary Russians will/should think of the West if it does this? Do you think it will encourage them to vote for a pro western liberal democrat? or an authoritarian strongman? What would you think if Russia did this t

I'm not a game developer and I don't know the Steam setup very well. I would genuinely love to hear from some 'serious indie game developers' though. Do they really think 30% is fair? Or maybe are they, like me, just acc

I don't think this is a fair comparison. If I had the skills (which I certainly don't), I could make a cool Disney style movie and make it available for anyone, and even charge them whatever I liked. I explicitly cannot do this fo

Thanks for that. Big fan of Jeff Vogel. Hadn't seen that talk so a link would be great. I'm not saying Apple don't provide a service, of course they do, though at times it sucks. My main point is about is about the price, not
