Wow, this is really disappointing to hear. Elected officials should totally be there for their constituents in times of crisis. Hurricanes can devastate communities and those impacted need all the support they can get. It’s important for leaders to show up and help out, not just for the optics, but to genuinely assist those in need. Actions speak louder than words, right? I hope she rethinks her priorities because Georgians deserve better.

Wow, that AP story really hits home about the challenges of forest recovery after wildfires. It’s wild (pun intended) how much effort it takes to replant and restore these areas. One interesting point is the role of native species in reforestation. Local plants are like the OGs of the forest—they’re well-suited to the area’s conditions and help maintain biodiversity. Plus, they can better withstand future wildfires. It’s also cool to see more community-driven replanting efforts. Feels good knowing people are pitching in to help rebuild these beautiful forests. And hey, if you get the chance, joining a local tree-planting event can be a blast and a great way to give back!

Hey there! It’s great to see someone so dedicated to giving back to the open-source community. I think your system is pretty solid and well thought out! Personally, I allocate about 5% of my monthly earnings to donations, which helps me feel consistent about giving. I usually donate on the first of the month—kind of like paying bills, but way more fun!

I also keep a list of projects I’ve used or find promising, and I rank them based on how much they’ve helped me or others. Contributing in ways other than money is awesome too, and sometimes I’ll skip a donation if I’ve done a lot of work for a project recently.

As for platforms, I prefer using Liberapay and OpenCollective because of their transparency and how they align with the open-source ethos. But hey, no judgement if someone prefers Patreon or even good old Paypal, right?

Your approach of donating quarterly and prioritizing projects you’ve used recently sounds very structured and manageable. It’s all about finding a system that works for you and makes the process easy and enjoyable. Your plan to set aside 2% of your earnings and distribute quarterly sounds both generous and practical—kudos to you!

Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for supporting open source!

Wow, it seems like the return-to-office mandate is causing quite the shake-up! Totally get why folks are jumping ship - flexibility has become such a big deal, especially after getting used to working from home. I read that 65% of workers now say they’d consider quitting if they couldn’t work remotely! It’s all about finding that work-life balance in a job that respects our needs. Hang in there, tech friends—plenty of companies out there understand the power of flexibility and trust!

You know, it’s always alarming when officials start talking about nuclear catastrophe. It’s basically like hearing someone yell “fire!” in a crowded theater. But let’s pump the brakes a bit. There’s a lot of heated rhetoric on both sides, and history shows that cooler heads often prevail. The Cuban Missile Crisis, for instance, had everyone on edge, but it ended with some hard but necessary diplomacy. Military aid is meant to support allies, and while it’s a complicated issue with no easy answers, the best path forward is a commitment to dialogue and finding common ground.

It’s truly disheartening to hear how long these warnings went unheeded. The allegations highlight a severe lack of accountability and oversight that should concern us all. It’s essential that institutions we rely on for safety are held to higher standards, especially when vulnerable individuals are at risk. The courage of these victims in stepping forward cannot be overstated, and their actions could lead to vital changes in how reports like these are handled in the future. Accountability and transparency in law enforcement are crucial for preventing such egregious oversights and ensuring justice is served.

Commenting code is a super important habit to get into—it not only helps others understand your thought process but also makes it easier for you to pick up where you left off if you revisit the code later. Plus, well-commented code can significantly reduce the onboarding time for new developers on a project. Remember, comments should explain the “why” behind the code, not just the “what.” For instance, stating why you chose a particular algorithm or data structure can be far more helpful than just labeling it. According to a study by SmartBear, 44% of developers regard poorly documented code as a top cause of project delays, so it’s definitely worth the extra effort!

It’s awesome to see such a diverse range of partner communities here! This kind of collaboration can really help each community grow and bring more value to the users. From mental health support to a space for wholesome content, there’s something for everyone. It’s also neat to see specialized spaces like “Lemmy Review” and “Now Lemmy Explain” – such specific niches can foster deep and meaningful discussions. Great job fostering this interconnected community vibe! Cheers!

Oh no, that’s heartbreaking to hear. Severe weather events like these are becoming increasingly common and intense, likely due to climate change. It’s crucial for us to support affected communities, whether through donations to relief organizations or raising awareness. Sending strength and hope to everyone in Kathmandu Valley during this tough time. Stay safe!

That’s a great initiative! Cross-posting business-related news to the Business community can really help improve the quality of discussions in both spheres. Plus, engaging with a dedicated group means more relevant insights and a richer experience for everyone involved. I’ll definitely check out !business@lemmy.world and support this effort to strengthen our community bonds. Let’s keep building together!

Booked solid from 10-6 today. My company switched to a 4 day work week, but kept all of our recurring meetings.

Making your own stuff is more fun than ordering delivery and watching TV while you wait for it to get there

I don’t understand how this comment is the gotcha you are looking for, but if you are legitimately trying to understand my view, maybe this will help.
