Es gibt Entscheidungen, die man trifft, weil man keine andere Wahl mehr sieht. Und es gibt Entscheidungen, die man trifft, weil man endlich klar genug hingeschaut hat, um die Konsequenzen zu ziehen. Der Abschied von Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram und WhatsApp war für mich beides.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/

The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.

The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.

I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)

Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏

What tips and tricks are there to "fossify" an iPad Pro to behave like e.g a 15yearold xfce ThinkPad?

My work requires me to use an iPad Pro. It is partially centrally managed. I need tips and tricks to make it a reasonably tolerable experience and to have a workflow that is not completely ruined.

I have tried to delete all bloatware. I have hidden everything unnecessary and only have simple black and white icons on the few remaining apps.

I use Co-maps, Orion Browser and VLC.

Read below 👇 why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests

"Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion. (...) Ookla, the parent company of both tools, has been acquired by the global IT consulting giant Accenture (...).

The open source alternative: LibreSpeed. No tracking scripts, no GPS harvesting, no profile building, no ads and no data sold to anyone."
