Quoting: ArehandoroNope. We don't get an ID details on Stripe for Liberapay.Quoting: Liam DaweYou can still see the account ID from the donation in liberapay, isn't it? Wouldn't be possible to map the account ID, if a user wants, to the user in GOL? If the user does not have the real name in GOL or LiberaPay the donation would still be anonymous.Quoting: GuestIf you use PayPal then yes, of course it does, you can't do anonymous on PayPal. Stripe still goes through Liberapay, we don't see any user details through it.Quoting: Liam DaweLiberapay is anonymous.It used to be anonymous when they were still working with Mangopay, but during my last tests the actual Stripe/PayPal payments gave away the donor identity.
This is one of the reasons I left Liberapay.
There must be a way I reckon. I donate, without PayPal, via LiberaPay to Codeberg [External Link] and they use that payment for my membership.

Quoting: ArehandoroAfraid not, Liberapay is anonymous.Quoting: Liam DaweI'd be happy to change from PayPal to LiberaPay, do you guys have planned including the benefits from Patreon and the "Supporter Plus" badge for LiberaPay users at some point?Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat share of donations do the different platforms actually take?Direct Stripe payments on Liberapay probably gives us the best rate. Direct to PayPal next, then Patreon. Patreon though gives us the stability.
Or, in other words, which one is the most "efficient"?
* I remember there were some benefits for Patreon users, but correct me if wrong :)

From what they said in Discord about Vulkan:
I think you're right in that I could have phrased it better. I checked with our Linux devs who assured me that it's an emulated feature level and still Vulkan, but using a pared back feature level for better performance.

Quoting: FredOExcellent news that GOL now has a Valve Index - a huge donation for sure. I've been finding it hard to get an overview of the current status of VR on Linux and have held of getting any kit for that reason, so maybe you can now bring some clarity to the topic...?An article of initial thoughts is well in progress :)

Quoting: denyasisI'm not trying to sound mean, I'm just confusedIt's a good set of questions. I assume it is very much to give a standard experience across the platforms for older titles, especially those that don't really work on modern systems.
