That’s awesome, thanks! Especially the Chess24 link, the only way I ever manage to follow tournaments.
Yeah, that’s what I haven’t figured out yet either. How do you make it a fair amount between a content creator and an email client developer, between one person, a corporation and a non-profit?
I have settled on not trying to make it a science. I can only give what I have, so always when I feel that I have financial breathing room (paycheck comes in and no urgent payments due) I am going to the relevant places and donate what I feel I can afford. While not perfect, I feel I should be proud about doing what I can rather than beat myself up over whether I could spend more, which a lot of free users will never think about in the first place. Otherwise I’d only go crazy.
The donations will go to what/who I feel like I have used/appreciated most since the last donations. So it’s mainly donations, not subscriptions which also helps not losing track and giving more than you can afford. Come to think of it, I also do not donate to the big creators whose content I consume as I guess they are rich enough. If you want a number, my last donation was 20€ to a small ASMR content creator. And for stuff that I use regularly like programs and apps (e.g. NewPipe 4€/month and KeePass 0.5€), my OS (3€), the hoster of the Piped instance I use (4€) etc. I have set up regular payments on Liberapay and such according to their tier system. I cannot afford all that much, so I am going for the small/medium tier according to my amount of usage (and I guess you should think about if they have running costs or not). If you are not constrained by money I guess you can just go for their higher tiers and vary them according to usage.
I realise it does sound like a pretty bad science now as it’s both complicated and does not sound fair at all (e.g. OS gets too little, no?), but well… This write-up actually helped me understand my own ‘system’ better, so thanks for asking! :)
Really fitting news for sh.itjust.works. Or not.
Hier geht’s übrigens zur zitierten Studie: https://www.netzwerk-steuergerechtigkeit.de/milliardenvermoegen/
Weir! Though I am currently reading Martine myself.
Hat nur so halb was hiermit zu tun, aber mir war selten jemand so unsympathisch nach einem Interview wie Schreiner nach ihrem Auftritt im FAZ Podcast für Deutschland mit ihrem wiesligen Politiker-Ausweichen.
Finally a bit of Counter-Strike 2. Almost felt guilty for not being able to play much despite getting the coveted beta invite.
If you want the chess24 live boards to check the games, here you go. I always find their (otherwise terrible) UI to be the best for that.
Also, very happy for Svidler!
That was a strange final with all those inaccuracies. Very unlike a normal Carlsen match. And still he’s winning, the beast that he is.
Shameful stuff, telling her to be mindful regarding policy violations and their (invisible) processes when speaking up about the issue.
