It’s an issue but its a pretty niche one. Even software that works great on most distros might misbehave when you have multiple desktop environments installed. And http_proxy use doesn’t appear to be standardized by freedesktop, LSB, etc. Though it is pretty well adhered to: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/27/we-need-to-talk-no-proxy/

So yeah, I agree with the spirit of this but its tough to follow the standard when there is no standard

ehhhhhh no its a genuine issue to honor gnome settings when gnome isn’t running IMO. That isn’t the correct system/user configuration to load if you’re running under sway…

wonder how it is on aarch64, I might try it

I can see how that would feel good, but unless they were selling ads directly to friendly companies (and even disregarding the fact that it seems unlikely there would be many/any given their anticapitalist bent), this would make the project almost no money, while annoying users and opening them up to a lot of criticisms and a lot of overhead work building it and keeping that system running. Plus the vast majority of instances would probably not willingly run ads to benefit the devs, either due to not wanting ads or political disagreements with the devs, so it’d be only lemmy.ml and some micro instances. A nominal donation of $1/month from users like you, who may not want to spend much but does want to support in some way, would make them more money than a years worth of browsing

liberapay is probably the best. For payments processed there by stripe the fee avg is around 3.1%, and there’s no additional fee to the platform. Patreon ends up being like 15-20% iirc when you add up all fees. Unsure about opencollective or ko-fi

this was a good way to find out my former liberapay had crapped out over a year ago. Renewed now, thanks for what you do

my thoughts exactly. I’ll stick with sway
