I had a remarkable 2 for a year and was very dissatisfied with how hard it was to modify or run custom scripts or third party gui apps on it. Then came the subscription stuff and I ditched it.

Bought pinenote and even though I'm no linux developer, I've set it up and it works very well. Been using it for 3+ years now.

The build feels cheaper compared to remarkable, but the hardware spec is much better. And the best part is I can just run syncthing or kdeconnect or any linux desktop app on it and it's great.

they laugh.

All the old people are fucked and have to fumble with (from their pov) alien technology (a smartphone).

At least thats what I've heard from the family of friends that live in Germany.

Do donations really come in all at 1 or 2 given dates per year?

I would assume non-recurring donors average out over the months. Maybe there is a bit more in holiday season.

But if I donate 200$ in May, are there no other people in the world that donate 200$ in June and then others still in July etc.?


edit:

I could not find any donation stats/charts for gnome. But assuming they are similar to KDE, it looks pretty managable to me. There seems to be a solid baseline of about 4k per month and then some months have huge extras. It does not seem very complicated to budget that.

2025: https://kde.org/community/donations/previousdonations/

2024 looks way more wild. But that is when they introduced the donation popup by the end of the year.

Battleforge is another good example. It took about 10 years for the community to reverse engineer the server and host their revived version. https://www.skylords.eu/

https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/959b6cf5eed78f108dc6e0f46b53816f5168dd3a/tools/upgrade.sh#L265-L283

The message comes from the update check. It seems there is a setting somewhere to make it less verbose. Change verbosity from default to minimal.

Find out yourself how to change ohmyzsh settings please, I gotta go now
