It’s even worse to see open sources projects use Discord for communication (looking at you, Bazzite)

Hopefully, as a side effect of the current situation, software developers will be a bit more mindful of ram consumption. The “just buy more RAM bro” argument isn’t really working nowadays.

If I had that much money to spare, I’d split it in smaller parts and donate to smaller projects that I use. I feel like Mozilla, Signal or KDE are doing pretty well at the moment, but what about some random developer that works on, for example, an open source app that you’ve been using for years? Some of them just get a few bucks once in a blue moon and that’s it. I believe they should be appreciated more.

It fails for me (paid version).

I got to the point in my life where I just enjoy a basic Debian XFCE with no customization (except for removing the bottom bar and adding some shortcut keys). With so much going on in real life, I learned of enjoy the never-changing stability on my PC.
