@lucent@antani.cyou I'll be here in Chez Theo approx until 16:45, waiting for a friend to be done with her talk.

I'm sitting on the inside entrance side in front of the red microwaves.

@lucent@antani.cyou I am indeed sitting next to microwaves at Chez Theo now.

Where the fuck does one charge their laptop at Fosdem?

I'm actually kinda bummed because I woke up too late as usual and now I can't watch the talks :(

I can't believe the declarative computing room is full right now. fml

Since when are so many people interested in GNU Guix, GNU Emacs and Scheme?

You’ll pay 0% on donations and 5% on Shop, Memberships, Monthly payments, and Commissions.

@k1tteh@uwu.social This is false, Ko-fi has a %5 free.

I have also seen that a lot of people here on fedi use Ko-fi.

My first impressions are:
* Supports things I want such as both one time donations and recurring.
* Seems very proprietary.
* No anonymous donations possible.

Is there a good reason to use Ko-fi that I am missing?

I'm currently looking into donation platforms.

Patreon is obvious no no.

Liberapay is very nice and completely free software of course. But I feel like Liberapay has some very critical design issues.

For example they force people into a recurring payment model and they do not support one time donations. I think a lot more people would be willing to donate if they could just a quick one time donation.

In Liberapay the donors are anonymous for the donator. This is definitely a good thing, because you shouldn't have to identify yourself.

But I think this anonymity should be optional. A lot of people like it when their donations are publicly visible. It makes them feel proud for supporting the people that they like. It also gives receivers an opportunity to give a thank you message or a shoutout to their donators, which currently is not possible.

This all feels very disconnected.
