@Laurelai as in creators give, say, 2% extra if they want to, which goes into a fund to cover any chargebacks they may receive

@Laurelai that is the motivation behind the insurance feature

@Laurelai

what i would like to do is have a single withdrawal from patrons each week, like liberapay, with a calculated fee based on expenses and margin. that way the processing fees are low.

would also like to have an open balance sheet (as much as legally permitted), so that people know where the x% fee is going, with open discussion of product changes/roadmap.

offering chargeback insurance for an additional % also seems like a nice feature...

@Laurelai

that can probably be arranged and is something i am looking into, actually.

@Laurelai

well i do not care about adult content. in what ways is the website unaccountable? what would be good transparency goals?

#pkgconf 1.4 is starting to get some nice additions: https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/blob/master/NEWS

@elomatreb i showed that to one of my business partners and his reaction was essentially "crytek can fuck off"

@Elizafox

yes, franken was kind of a 'bro' comedian tbh

let me tell you, typing on a mac keyboard is fucking garbage, need to fix my real keyboard asap

what types of features would people want in a #patreon replacement?

what things about patreon are terrible?

what things are good?

obvious concerns: not allowing donations to terrorists (but seems that all we have to do is investigate/shut down any accounts that are reported to us from what i see)

looking into what would be involved to make a patreon replacement from the legal end (code end is easy, they are simply using Braintree's reflexive payments solution), please stand by

@cwebber @gamehawk

oh.

what about...

Alyssa kicked out Ben because he didn't pay his rent on time. Now she is angry that he didn't return her book either.

@gamehawk @cwebber

clearly, Alyssa kicked Ben out at some point because Ben sent another ActivityPub message from "the club" and tagged Janice in it.

there. plot hole fixed.

pkgconf 1.4 has new feature: --env

by using --env=LIBFOO, PKG_CHECK_MODULES autotools macro and other similar use patterns can be replaced with a version that only forks once.

@baerlinbaer @paulfree14 @status

by the way, i'm not defending jester, i am advocating for being transparent in blocking him instead of using his about page.

THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER REASONS.

thanks for the ad hominem
