there is also gratipay, but if you're looking for a single aggregator of every good cause, you won't find one.

singpolyma commented on Is there a way to tell if an element is of a certain type? at Reddit, saying
As long as your types implement Typeable and you're ok constraining to that, you can.

But any solution that uses Typeable is the wrong solution.

singpolyma commented on TIL that Linux Foundation pulled funding for SFC because of their VMWare lawsuit at Reddit, saying
Since VMware is an LF member, it seems pretty clear.

No one wants to say anything official of course, but friends of mine who should know aren't saying no…

singpolyma commented on Some things I'm doing with X right now that aren't possible on Wayland (yet) at Reddit, saying
Maybe. This seems pretty unnecessary, but is certainly gaining popularity as a model.

Random programs running as you knowing everything about other programs running as you is obviously a security risk

s/a security risk/the whole point of having them run as "you"

singpolyma commented on Quick question, how will people make money? at Reddit, saying
They could, and they do. You can even make and distribute binaries for free. But if you make the easiest/most obvious way to get something to pay, most people will.

It turns out that laws don't prevent you from being able to get most proprietary software gratis. But people still don't, because buying is easier.
