Feeders are okay, but the real joy comes from watching hummingbirds feed at flowers. In my experience they’re big fans of fuchsias, and I’ve also seen them at fireweed.
I spent 120$ last year on fushias that were ignored
I caved and got a feeder when it got near freezing and one of them was making a fuss in the tree in my back yard, and it needs refilling every 2 days now, so I guess no accounting for taste…
lemmy world admins cracking down on posts they don’t like with no accountability and arbitrarily changing their ToS after the fact to cover for it, but somehow the entirety of the factionalist weirdos who cling to the idea of a corpo-friendly Reddit clone are laying the blame on… other instances?
Just started Summon Night: Swordcraft Story. So far I'm enjoying trying out all the different kinds of weapons and picking up hints about the game's unique worldbuilding. Now that I'm out of the tutorial section, I'm looking forward to seeing the story pick up and hoping to find a little more variety in the design of the upcoming dungeon levels.
Well, when someone joins to make contributions, there isn’t some requirement to pay them for their “work.” That’s kind of the entire point of Open Source. Everyone is working on a volunteer basis to contribute.
Now, OSS projects that have money backing them often have different ways of “distributing” the money based on how large their organization is.
How Mozilla distributes the money it gets from Google to Firefox developers probably isn’t the same as how an independent developer, working on a project alone, would “distribute” their “income.” In the case of the indie developer, it’s probably a Patreon that goes into their “coffee money” account. They are under no requirements to “share” that with anyone else who contributes to development.
Just like if I contribute to the Firefox codebase, Mozilla isn’t required to “share” some of that sweet Google money with me.
The people who end up getting money for their contributions via corporate “donations” to keep them working on OSS is different than people who just get random donations. Both amount to the same thing though, the donations are to keep them working on the OSS project instead of needing to get a day job. Generally this means you need to be high enough skill level that your skills are actually, actively in demand in the workplace, and that paying you to keep working independently on OSS is providing value to the private company.
