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.

If 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.

You 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.

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: TheSHEEEPWhat share of donations do the different platforms actually take?
Or, in other words, which one is the most "efficient"?

Direct Stripe payments on Liberapay probably gives us the best rate. Direct to PayPal next, then Patreon. Patreon though gives us the stability.

I'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?

* I remember there were some benefits for Patreon users, but correct me if wrong :)

Finished my first run of Cyberpunk 2077 over the weekend. Contrary to most people, I loved the game. Will continue doing side missions and eventually seeing the other endings too, but at much slower pace -Hoping to see some DLC throughout the year-

Armello is another game that has been getting some playtime lately. Very well thought and great to relax and play online with some friends weekly. Happy to play with "GoLers" if someone is interested too.

Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster is coming in a month, so RPGs are out of the question for now. I might try to start The Council or some others slow paced/narrative based games for the time being.

I use Pop_OS Theme on my fedora 33 work laptop. Automatic tiling, and the launcher -with the ability to search for files there and run terminal commands- are very well-developed with sane/helpful defaults. It doesn't work on my home PC with fedora 34 due to Gnome 40, and was looking forward to having a working version for Gnome 40 soon.

The delay on 21.04, and potentially 21.10, is a long enough time for me to try make Gnome 40 behave like Pop_OS by changing/adding shortcuts. COSMIC will probably be great, etc but as @wvstolzing has mentioned their efforts should be focused on improving GNOME/GTK rather than dedicating the time into a "massive" extension for GNOME. Same reason I stopped using PaperWM, to be honest.

Quoting: BielFPsNot sure if works for you, but Chromium-based browsers and Eletron apps (compiled with a recent version) can already share screens using xdg-desktop-portal, so I believe you could share your screen on teams if you access through the browser.

Unfortunately, no. Last time I tried didn't work.

There are only 2 issues, that I know of, that prevent me from using Wayland full time. The first one is Teams, under Wayland the screen can't be shared. The issue is more due to Teams being an Electron app, and until recently (version 12 if I recall correctly) it was not possible. Now it is, waiting on MS to build Teams with the new version.

The other one is FreeSync, with Wayland on Gnome the max Hz on my screen is 60 instead of 144 that the monitor is capable of. There is to fix this Sway, but Gnome is my favourite/most at home DE and I really dislike Sway's dev so not really an option for me.

Regarding Ubuntu... They didn't take my application as Cloud Engineer the other day, and I'm now bitter until next week or so that I forget about it, so rather don't do many comments :D

Quoting: ArehandoroWhen it comes to drinking and socializing, chatting hours with friends and family over small drinks and food, I must say we Spaniards do it pretty well. One of the very few things we might actually excel at xD

Come to think of it, I rather like Spanish bars too. My Spanish isn't up to snuff, but you're OK as long as you can point at things and say "tinto de verano" and "jamon". :grin:

Hahaha that's so true! :D

"Una cerveza, por favor" is the only phrase I ever learned in Spanish, and I've been there on holiday twice. :whistle:

That phrase will take you from South to North without issues at all though! :D

That's pretty much all I can say in German*... and my partner is Austrian :shock:

* OK, she just passed by and said I can say few things more... but not that many haha.

This really made me chuckle!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyTinto de verano is wine mixed with lemon fanta or sprite, and ice; especially when it's hot, it's way better than it sounds.

Agreed, very refreshing. My friends in London were very sceptical about it first, and now whenever I do a summer BBQ is the first thing they mention :) Well, I call it BBQ but it's more a paella themed party. My partner's mum got me a paella pan for up to 25 people because apparently, without it, I wouldn't be Spanish enough lol.

Oh man, I do miss pre-covid times. And summer weather!
