poverty wages

Citation needed.

Across patreon, opencollective and librepay they make a combined total of recurring $3507.66 per month, plus undisclosed amounts in crypto and ko-fi donations.

According to the post, less than $100 go towards hosting .ml, so that's an even 1700 bucks (plus x) for each of the developers.

They are budgeting in EUR, else I believe their origin country is undisclosed, meaning it could be double the national average (Kosovo, Montenegro, Greece); average (Italy, Spain, Portugal) or below average (France, Germany). Just to highlight a few, here's a full list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage

That's of course under the assumption that they reside in countries that officially use the EUR and not merely use it as a common currency. In Bulgaria, Albania etc. they'd be quite a bit above national average as well (the source I quoted converts all domestic currencies to EUR).

I've installed a reverse osmosis filter for my entire house at the public water inlet, and chlorine levels are near undetectable.

I switched to outlook in browser only because their native windows software is so terrible. Wish I could leave that shit OS entirely.

As good as it gets, if you can't get around using Windows.

Unfortunately that requires a full reinstall, I wish there was a way to upgrade from 10 pro to 10 enterprise.

Is that hawk tuah chick still around? I saw some Instagram clips showing her trying to sell some shit on a podcast I never saw before, and then literally never again.

I was a paid patreon member which was supposed to give you access to the dev chat on discord, but despite asking a few times and paying for almost half a year, it just never happened. So I couldn't take them seriously.

Since I blocked .ml I can't leave a reply on the original message, and I'm not going to unblock them just because.

Meh, you can block the instance and still see the value in the project. I'd rather have both than neither.

Yep, agree. Heat Signature was also fun, but getting rather repetitive.

The key feature of Skype for me was always calling international numbers and/or home numbers while travelling.

Since they've killed this feature, I have requested a refund of the money still in my account, and of course keep being ignored. I've now escalated this to consumer protection in Germany, luckily we got some institutions with teeth.
