I don’t think you can do recurring donations but just set a reminder if that’s your thing

what’s the slang term? “scissas?”

Ok but why are we lumping in a greedy ceo with criminal state regimes? Don’t you think it’s a little overkill to compare strenuous API costs to Tiananmen Square?

lol bro. You don’t have to like the rich class to have basic human empathy for other people

This is great, and true too, but I hate google man. Gonna wait to see when translation tools like this become FOSS. I think AI might get us there. In the meantime, LibreTranslate does good for translation and Tesseract works for OCR.

You’re probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don’t like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

Microsoft is surprisingly pro-FOSS - probably more than any of the others in “big tech.” It’s the same reason MS isn’t in the FAANG acronym. They’ve consistently forwarded and contributed to the FOSS community over the past several years. They have massive stakes in the linux foundation, which is either conspiracy or just a shift in attitude (i haven’t decided myself yet). For a more concrete example, with LLMs, Microsoft (despite basically owning OpenAI) is contributing to free and open-source language model development, with Orca and TBAAYN, as well as publishing free and open-source tooling for LLM, such as the guidance repository.
