Goddamn that takes me back!

Ye I know that there’s a lot of self-fulfillment coming from FOSS work. It’s why I do it even though I’m not getting paid. However being in Luxembourg, even market competitive rates are barely affordable, and good vibes doesn’t pay my rent, so alas if our org had enough money to pay someone, I would personally still have to continue with the wage work.

It’s unfortunate that people give so much to for-profits, but people doing things that are objectively better for the world, have to tighten their belts to get by.

Anyway, thank you for your time. You explained pretty much what has been my observations in the FOSS space. I agree with all your takes. Perhaps in the future Framasoft and Haidra might be able to collaborate.

Sure, it does look like you were at the right place at the right time indeed and then could continue from there. Having a dedicated communications person is also in my impression very important, but alas they’re not as easy to find for FOSS projects.

Could you be able to elaborate what kind of wages you pay your staff? Are they market competitive, or below market rates for the same roles?

Note that comment federation can get a bit weird between lemmy and mastodon. Replies from mastodon might only be visible from the instance of the user’s you’re replying to directly, if that instance is not the one owning the community, because of the way that mastodon tends to send replies to the user’s instance, instead of sendind them to the community’s instance (which would then forward them to everyone)

It see it both from lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemmy.world. Where do you not see it?

Hey thanks for doing this! Impressive that you can support 10 paid staff. As someone also doing FOSS development in Europe, it’s inspiring that you managed to achieve this so I’m hoping you could share some light. How do you have so many people donating? Do you have dedicated outreach people or just people donate on their own. My own FOSS projects typically just get enough donations to cover their hosting costs and not much else.

Did you start as a big team, or just kinda grew from one person’s projects starting 20 years ago?

Any tips and strategies to other FOSS devs in Europe would be greatly appreciated.

It’s why all my friends are ND. They understand, and I understand their needs as well.

Nrxn has already voluntarily moved instances

Once I start regularly communicating with someone and they keep doing this “hi” business, I just start replying with this link https://nohello.net/

Also monster train 2,just came out.

For solo boardgames, it really depends on its age, but if old enough to play complex ones, there’s some ones with almost infinite replayability. Spirit island, Dune Imperium, mage Knight, voidfall.

I was wondering why you posted it in general gaming and not here :)

It’s not a big deal to crosspost immediately. It’s not like I don’t know you’re a meme addict :D

Oh gawds, I thouht the vid was a takedown, based on the initial ridiculous clip. but no he’s actually serious.

I can never play solo boardgames tbh. If I am going to play something solo, I can play something more complex on the PC. In fact, many of the most popular BGs have very good apps for themselves too. And if one wants to play something specifically boardgamey, things like Slay the Spire exist.

happened to me 3 times in a row two days ago

Prince of Persia on 2x 5.25 floppies needed about 8 floppy changes to load

Find a book that really grabs you. When this happens, I usually don’t know how to stop reading it.

I don’t know about AAA games, but I play mostly indies and I never have this issue.

Hm, probably something that can encompass both 3rd party instance and comm matters

I’m trying to prevent confusion with topics about this comm
