I donate 10% of my net income to charities.

Having a budget for donations is really nice because it makes giving away money much easier. In my mental model this is simply not my money, but I can decide where it goes. This also makes spontaneous donations much easier. When the Ukraine war broke out and my employer set up a donation matching program, giving away 2000€ didn't require second thoughts from me.

Scaling your donations with your salary is nice because it gives you a reason to ask for higher salary besides becoming even richer.

With a software engineering salary, this is also enough money to support multiple organizations with a significant amount of money each. Discovering new organizations that do cool stuff and reading the occasional newsletter with positive news, knowing that your money supported that outcome, is really nice.

I give the bulk of it to the Against Malaria Foundation, drawing from the effective altruism idea. They distribute mosquito nets and score very high in the (years of "healthy" life saved)/dollar metric. The rest goes to various NGOs around human rights, civil liberties, environmental protection, journalism, and the FOSS/donationware that I use.


LineageOS does not have certification (i.e. does not meet Google's quality standards) to install the Google applications. Manufacturers who want to ship with Google Apps have to take everything up a notch to get the certification, which is a huge amount of work (on top of everything that LineageOS and the likes are doing).


They did successfully sue the manufacturer over those quality issues. The Fairphone 4 is produced by a different manufacturer and is expected to have much less of such issues.


I don't know a way to enforce this, but what may help is knowing that by default, you can push into the PR branch even if it is from someone else's fork: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/colla...


that's how the start page of Autodesk Civil3D's and InfraWork's are built (steps 2 and 3 only). Screenshot here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks/learn-expl...

There's not much more to it than you can see, there's the BIM360 tab on the left that allows browsing through a cloud directory structure, and Civil3D also has a learning content tab.

Qt-based Software uses Qt WebEngine instead of the .NET stuff. The reason we're using HTML + JS is that we wanted to share the start page between different applications and HTML + JS is the lowest common denominator so to say, something that every team could integrate.


now you ought to tell how it turned out!


Here's a collection of quotes (from another comment downthread for visibility):

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/indi...

a little teaser:

> Screaming 'racism' at people because blacks are collectively less intelligent...is insane

> The whole breeding arena of the species needs to be cleaned the fuck up

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Stefan_Molyneux is also great.


They updated the frame to be less wobbly in early 2020: https://www.fully.com/the-new-improved-jarvis/ (so sibling comment may not apply)

I own that one (extended version) and in the "sitting" position (I assume that's how you would use the wheel) I can make it wobble front to back by a few millimeters if i really lean onto it, but side-to-side i can move it barely a millimeter or two even when yanking it rather hard. It feels really solid in that direction. In the standing position, it does move more.


Good to know! I'll give Jarvis another look.


For a non-mainstream-feature I thought that rather easy. Open about:profiles, click "create new profile", enter a name, and then use the "Launch profile in new browser" buttons on that page to use that profile.

I have one for work and one for non-work and it's great!


In addition, you might want to add an entry to your system menu or place shortcut somewhere to start a new instance:

  /usr/bin/firefox -P my-profile --no-remote


If you want more fine grained control, check out https://github.com/dyne/tinfoil

I actually have some scripts for managing not just profiles but extensions. Hopefully I can get it cleaned up in time to put on Github.


There is https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript. It's not using llvm, but it's compiling a subset of typescript to webassembly.
