Depending on the local laws, that's easier said than done. E.g. in Germany, a private entity (read: person) can't just bill a company. And you can't just write something that resembles an invoice either. Especially, you'

But the company wants a proper invoice. And not every single developer is interested in founding a Limited and getting the tax office breathing down their neck every year. Also, look at Gitea. People got paranoid and forked the project afte

But xx% of some amount is still better than 100% of $0. And the pure convenience of using PayPal, Apple Pay or things like Ko-Fi will probably result in more net donations.

If you’re still using tig, have a look at lazygit. Needs some getting used to (coming from tig) but supports way more git features.

I had the iPhone 3G back in 2008 and only had Android phones after that. Until 2020. But when trying to log into my old Apple account, it was asking for answers to security questions I’ve never setup because they weren’t a thing in 2008. Af

IIRC, some while ago, there was a post from somebody that recreated multiple 90s-like TV channels. Like, one “channel” would bring sitcoms, another would show children shows, etc. And it was dependent on the time of day, i.e. you could “mis

I think the Beepy can be considered abandoned by now. All the YouTubers got one, but they never came back into stock. There’s a waiting list but I’ve signed up to that list like a year ago and heard nothing so far.
