There were some posts over the holiday season asking for projects to donate to, and for those who have the means to comfortably do so, this is an important gift to consider.
If there’s only a limited amount each of us is able to give, I assume there’s no point giving it all to, for one example, The Linux Foundation, because a small personal donation is trivial next to the ~$15,000,000 USD they receive from sponsors dependent on them[1]. I understand that funding sources can be a major and profound source of bias[2] and ideally we would be, for example, helping to make Firefox independent of Google, but until we have more collective power, it’s not worth letting smaller important projects struggle instead.
So, which important projects should we leave to the sponsors, and which really need our support?
That’s actually a pretty slick idea not gonna lie. If I ever de-Google, that might be the way I go.
I like to travel with a Chromecast and a mini router so I can do TV stuff away from home.
Now I’m wondering, I know that USB stick computers have existed for awhile. I’m wondering… Does something similar in size to the Chromecast exist? Something just powerful enough to stream whatever I want to a TV with whatever software I can load on it? Hmm…
I wonder how well it supports Debian, etc.
