I'm sad to say that I am in need of financial support again.
My weekly work hours at my day job will be reduced soon, leaving me with less money than I already have, and I am looking for a second job and a few helping hands.
If you have enjoyed my work on Ubuntu Touch over the years, please consider donating via PayPal or Liberapay. I only hope for donations for the short term, long term I want to be able to stand on my own again. Links over at https://fredl.me
@Logical_Error @craftyguy @cas @silmathoron When I first learned about open source, I thought Request Bounties were a very promising approach. But after understanding better, I have been less optimistic about request bounties.
There is a great video at the Dan on Open Source Software channel that is a great discussion of request bounties in open source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOdvlBBe4fA

Absolute banger of a post shared by @tarakiyee on another network. Every other paragraph is quote-worthy.
"That impulse to scour away the messiness that makes life resilient is what many conservation biologists call the pathology of command and control. Today, the same drive to centralize, control and extract has driven the internet to the same fate as the ravaged forests."
