  • Maybe a survey can disprove my opinion. but i would argue the option of having ads plus paying for the ability to remove ads is something most users would accept (even if there is a vocal minority). especially if you explain that researching and developing some forms of content (documentaries, video courses, investigative journalism) can take dozen of hours and is not feasible to do without getting paid when aiming for the highest quality.

    That could be better then just restricting videos (mitra could also be a open source alternative to patreon).

  • The future of Flatpak - LWN
  • Flatpak top contributor by number of commits works for collabora, so i think it is a matter of just getting funding for work. no need to start an ugly fork. its a question of how badly people want the work to be done.

    I wonder how well collabora would do if they started a subscription for regular users that could vote on what issue to work on (and maybe delegate their voting power), the issue that he mention that is "not great" sound like something a lot of people would be interested in fixing. and in general with so much of our lives documented on our computer more security enhancement work could be great.

  • In blender for example you receive prioritized support when you sponsor them.

    There are also various rewards (like voting on features, exclusive access to discord channels, having a sponsorship section on the website that acts as something like an ad).

    There are various guides for this. but that's the shortened version.

  • Lemmy Release v0.19.11
  • Graphtreon says their API is $760 / month.

    didn't even know they have a API. i meant parsing the HTML with something like selenium, there are probably lighter options. if you will do this once a day or week i can't see why your API should be blocked (its like some developer repeatedly checking that in his browser).

    Patreon isn’t going to do anything for us specifically

    They probably make something like 80 dollar a month of you. maybe a tech support representative just needs to input your IP to their system. it takes a couple of minutes for someone who makes about $20 an hour so not unreasonable . especially if you will warn/threaten them that you will remove patreon.

  • Lemmy Release v0.19.11
  • We had this automated, but patreon blocked our IP, so I’ll update it manually rn, and try to do that at least once a month.

    Did you try sending them an email or opening a issue asking them to to whitelist the IP? . this is completely unreasonable. you are a paying customer.

    graphtreon is making a ton of requests so i think there should not be a problem. or maybe you could parse graphtreon instead.

    You could create a repository with just this data and be liberal when giving out access.

  • Lemmy Release v0.19.11
  • Implement donation dialog

    isn't it suppose to pop up for me? i see nothing.

    so far no change on the reported donations when comparing to previous reporting which is actually down.

    maybe have somewhere a dashboard graph of something like "revenue per 1k active users".

    active users are higher then on march 2024 yet donation are down from 3,9K to 2.3K.

  • Debian APT 3.0 Stable Released With New Package Solver & Refined Text UI
  • We really need a user friendly way to show packages that are really manually installed by the user (some automatically installed package are marked as manually installed, see the answers to this question).

    even nix interface is known as being kinda bad but you still have a easy way to do this.

  • Piefed has feeds now!
  • Have you considered a UX similar to old reddit for this? where you hover over the join button with the mouse and it gives you the option to create a feed or add and remove to a feed?

    I actually checked multiple times and could not find it (but admittedly maybe that is my mistake and not a real problem with discoverability).

  • MeroChat is a open source website that helps you to find people to chat with
  • The only thing certain is death and taxes . but unlike for example omegle and it's successors you have to register so if it will be detected that it is a LLM it could be banned (eventually people will find out because LLM are not that good). Also i assume someone will have a incentive to do that so eventually it will try to get someone money or something like that and will probably get banned.

    You can also say the same thing for every platform you communicate with people like lemmy . you might even wonder if a for profit company might have better resources to detect bots.

    Hachyderm admin: if we were to cost of the people working on this instance, it costs $1.50/user/month, $8.50/active user/month.
  • meta makes 156B per year, assuming 3.98B users per year (average monthly active users). that's about 39$ revenue per user per year and 3.2$ per user per month.

    If you want to make that kind of money, i think they only realistic option adding ads with an option to pay to disable the ads. i never saw a open source project raises that kind of money with fundraising. even then i am not sure it will work because i think i read a report that people who block ads basically don't read them when they can't block so those ads will make no money.

  • PieFed development update Dec 2024
  • added a ‘not joined’ filter to communities list to help find new communities

    I think a "not visited" filter will be a lot more useful.

    I also noticed there are no open issues for the beta test project on codeberg. maybe we can have a fancy release announcement and submit a news tip to alternativeto hoping they will report it on there front page?.

  • You could have a multi-paradigm programming language and use FP techniques in the code. And at least in my university there was an introduction to FP and i assume that is true for most CS degree programs.

    Anyway no offence but i wonder how many of the people who upvoted you actually programmed in a purely functional programming language . i read and did the exercises for real world haskell and i don't think purely functional programming language can create the clearest code. i can see the advantages but a language with a strong support for FP and OOP would be better IMO (Ruby?). I also can't think of a popular FOSS project that uses a purely functional language (pandoc is an exception, but that seems like a sweet spot for FP).

    But it is a cool project and i like the endeavor.
