I put sponsor information on my open source project, and it has been giving me $600/mo in the past few months. There are only a few thousand stars on GitHub, but it's already the most popular tool in a paticular niche area.
Show it off!

I really wanted to like penpot, but when I tried a few months ago, simply navigating between pages (even on the example documents) was causing parts of the document to change in bizarre ways. I didn't want that level of risk with documents I actually cared about, so continued to use figma. I guess it's time to give it another shot.
EDIT: still broken 8 months later :(
I think you should post a issue at this point D:

This system won't run FIFA, GTA Online, Battlefield, Valorant or CoD, it's a nonstarter for many.
Sure you don't need to subscribe to PS+, but that's somewhat easier to swallow since PS+ gives you games with the subscription.
I'm still interested in this for playing older games but I have a Steam Deck and it still isn't remotely as seamless as my Switch or PS5.

That's largely known now but still a bummer. I wonder if anything will ever change in this area and if Valve will be able to pressure game editors or create an anti-cheat so good and for any platform to be able to change something.

Me too. When they removed the option to download books I liberated everything I had ever bought, moved to Kavita+koreader and will never buy a kindle book again.
I jailbroke both kindles. And use koreader on them which now supports progress sync with Kavita which is amazing! So I don't really lose functionality.
Okay, but where do you buy your epubs? IF you buy them?!

A little bit off-topic but so called president of the EU is not elected, nor are the figures in so called EU commission :)
That's not true. They are elected but not directly by the population but by the representative of each state.

Very cool. Should flush out a few bugs.
I'd be interested to know why Valgrind vs the Clang AddressSanitizer and MemorySaniziter. These normally find more types of errors (like use-after-return) and I find it significantly faster than Valgrind.
I'm interested too. I'm using a Go program that call a cpp library with SWING and I was interested in find out if that library had a memory leak, or maybe the SWING wrap I wrote. But this kind of problem can't be detected via pprof, so I tought, what if Go support Valgrind?? and find out this changes.
I'm not sure if this will work though, will it @bracewel?
This is how I feel about my Honda, and to some extent, Kubernetes. In the former case I kept a 2006 model in good order for so long I skipped at least two (automobile) generation's worth of car-to-phone teething problems, and after years of hearing people complain about their woes I've found the experience of connecting my iphone to my '23 car pretty hassle-free.
In the latter, I am finally moving a bunch of workloads out of EC2 after years of nudging from my higher-ups and, while it's still far from a simple matter I feel like the managed solutions in EKS and GKE have matured and greatly lessen the pain of migrating to K8S. I can only imagine what I would have gotten bogged down with had I promptly acted on my bosses' suggestion to do this six or seven years ago. (I also feel very lucky that the people I work for let me move on these things in my own due time.)
In the meantime you had for years a car without connecting your iphone, so you completely didn't have that feature!
There are pros and cons everywhere, but I'm more prone to change often and fix things that wait for feature to be stable and meantime do without them.
Of course, when I can afford it, e.g. not in changing my car every two years :')
