Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:
A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.
Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.
Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA
need mutual aid, urgent, please boost
Every month on unemployment is making things harder. Staying in my apartment is becoming less and less viable over the months, and at this point I fully rely on mutual aid to help me get through this. I can move back to my parents but my boyfriend (who contributes as much as he can) might struggle finding a place to live and doesn’t have a safe family to go back to.
I’m still looking for jobs. Refusals are piling but I’m going strong. I’ve ramped up sending my CV even to things I’m overqualified for in the hopes of landing _something_ that will pay more than unemployment. I’ve also sent it to highly paid things I’m slightly underqualified for just in case they might want to consider anyway.
I haven’t paid rent yet this month. I’m prioritizing food because I don’t want to starve, but if I don’t pay rent it’s going to backfire. I badly need your help, please.
I would need at least 700€ to fill up my allowed overdraft + pay rent + bills + debt + stay comfortable with food for the rest of the month.
Any amount helps, even single-digit donations are appreciated. And if you really can’t then a boost for this post to reach more.

If paypal doesn’t work for you but you still want to give, please reach out.

Per TTC CEO Rick Leary’s latest report, the TTC has a shortage of space to store its growing streetcar fleet so they’ve decided to… just keep more streetcars in service overnight in lieu of parking them in a yard somewhere. Radical thinking. https://ttc-cdn.azureedge.net/-/media/Project/TTC/DevProto/Documents/Home/Transparency-and-accountability/Reports/CEO-Reports/2023/CEO_Report_August_2023.pdf
@mcc she's hilarious! she guested on a bunch of episodes of the Spontaneanation podcast a while back, so I knew she had some serious comedic chops, but it's a whole other thing to *see* her be funny
I'm a little late getting started today, but going live with some more J.B. Harold: Murder Club! Will today be it? Will we finally catch the murderer? Let's find out!
It's also on #Bandcamp, if that's more your thing. 💜

Help me get a trans femme a new home in the Seattle area
I have a friend (details omitted for privacy) who is looking to #GTFOMyState (currently the Southeast US) and move to Seattle or the general area. She's just getting her bearings around her identity and wants a safe place to do that journey.
We're trying to find housing options for her; aside from basic utilities and a place to park, the main need is to be fairly low-cost. She has employable skills but isn't going to be making a ton, at least not at first.
Roommate situations are a possible option but obviously safety is a very high concern so there would need to be some trust established first.
Any resources/suggestions would be super welcome, and boosts are appreciated.
Let's get her a good home!
Thanks!

@deejvalen my piercer made sure to use bars long enough to accommodate more growth and it worked out just fine!
Please boost, need financial help with student loans and debt from social security overpayment
Hello, I’m in quite a lot of financial trouble atm:
I’m going to have to start paying the second part of my student debt because I made the mistake of getting into a private school in 2015 (it was split into two as a former agreement so it would be easier on me since I changed where I was studying and would take longer to not be a student anymore). The loan I have calls for monthly installments of 389€, which I cannot affort at the moment. I called them to revise the installments so I can pay less every month, but they told me I need to pay at least one installments before that can be adjusted. So I’ll have to shell that out at least next month
In addition, social security has overpaid me for 391€ for three months last year and is asking for that money back. They’re going to hold it from my payment next month and I’ll only get 12€ or so from them, so the timing is extremely bad
The financial strain of all this is way too much for me and my current income as I’m still an apprentice and I’ll be until June − I’ll have to line up a job then, and I really need any help I can get.
Any amount is welcome, but if you can’t donate, boosts go a long way too
