I'll give that a try, thanks!

My case was convenience (since I have copilot, since everybody around me uses it, since it is integrated not only in VS but also in RStudio etc.) and lack of knowledge about the alternatives. Or laziness, in other words.

Poolside looks very cool. But it seems that atm it is available only upon request and only for companies.

For now, I use GitHub Copilot. They give it for free to students, but it would be great to have an alternative once I graduate or once they stop giving it out for free.

To the photos section, you can add Polish PhotoAiD (https://photoaid.com/). One of the cool features is that for some countries, you can get a photo formatted for a document application (e.g., for a passport) out of a selfie.

But it works only for recurrent donations, right?

I know that in Poland there patronite.pl works great, but it seems to be unavailable in other languages.

Hey! I have been searching for platforms to collect money for a non-profit sustainability organization at my uni (in Sweden). If I search for options, I get lists of for-profit American companies.

I noticed lemm.ee uses ko-fi.com. It is British and my go-to option now. My pet peeve with it is that you need to use PayPal or Stripe to get money. I have no experience in (obtaining money through) crowdfunding, so idk how normal that is.

Do you know any other alternatives?

PS: We really need the crowdfunding goal (or just a count) feature for transparency.

Well, yeah, I guess they remove smoke detectors from their houses, as they could create smoke anxiety when a fire breaks out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've used Pocketbook for years. Durable equipment, good battery, simple but robust OS. The company was first founded in Kyiv and then moved its headquarters to Switzerland. Production, to the best of my knowledge, is in Taiwan. Highly recommended.

Yeah, the "secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe" are a tiny, tiny detail. The UK and France decided to declare war on Germany because it was attacking independent countries. The USSR decided to join Germany in the war efforts, as long as they could. They also made programs of ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration and mass murder parallel to the Nazi ones. (They themselves admitted they were basically the same thing, claiming for years that the Katyn massacre was done by the Germans and not the Soviets). The power in the Soviet Union was concentrated in the hands of a very few people at the highest ranks of the Communist Party. Any independent self-organization, including independent workers' unions, was forbidden. Explain to me: What was so wonderful in all of that?

Okay. Even if this is correct, then we have: If the UK and the US had not stood up to Hitler, we would have a Stalinist regime spreading across all, not half of the continent. Nice.

Also, a reminder: The Soviets first collaborated with Hitler, attacking Poland together in 1939. They intensified rather than stopped the colonial practices of the Russian Empire.
