Technology

I bought a ticket, thanks for the post. I don't expect to win, but it'd be cool if I did and it's a good excuse to send $10 to some cool projects

I really hope Ladybird is able to eventually become a strong alternative browser engine to Chromium.

It’s a great idea for a way to encourage donations to these projects.

I've once bought lifetime service - couchsurfing. It didn't stick foe less than 1 year. I have second life time account for 2600 magazine but still I'm skeptical to "life time" promotions

Right now we need organisations fighting for software and media freedom more than ever. The unholy alliance of big corporations and far-right politics is just getting going, and if we don't have alternatives to communications run by unethical corporations we'll be driven into silence while they control all messaging. So this seems like a worthwhile donation.

Got my tickets a few days ago, hoping for a win!

I remember one time I criticized proton for positioning itself as community oriented while still being a for-profit corporation. I pointed out that as long as it’s a for-profit corporation, it would have not have any financial or legal incentive to continue pursuing its mission if it ever achieved a certain level of market share. But then several months later, they actually announced that they were going to put their money where their mouth is, and transition to a nonprofit structure.

I think that proton is perhaps the greatest example at the moment that to oppose capitalism does not mean you have to be opposed to free enterprise, and people should always think about this sort of thing when they listen to any kind of business leader try to convince them that it’s actually really important that they be allowed to cash out whenever they want.

I can’t imagine that their set up is perfect, but I definitely am going to have to give this offer serious consideration.
