Just a reminder that those #linux and #opensource applications you use daily require people to keep them alive and working. In a world where everything is driven by monetization, it is important to support the people who do it purely for the love of the project.

If you can, consider supporting your favorite app or service with some cash.

so nice to have a fixed bill not go up for once. 1 euro less even!

I think the escalating jankiness of GitHub over the past several months is an omen of what is to come for computers in general.
