#githubsponsors — Public Fediverse posts

#Microsoft really doesn't want you to stop using #GitHub Sponsors.

So apparently I can't stop people from sponsoring me myself. And I can't disable #GitHubSponsors either, because I have people sponsoring me. The only thing I can do is to contact support and ask them to handle it.

Fortunately, there's a ready support link with pre-filled form. Except it doesn't work anymore, so you have to go through the new support request form yourself. And after you write the message yourself, it is fed to a completely useless LLM that tells you how to disable account. Except that the process doesn't work, because as the bottom hint notes, if you have any active sponsors, you need to contact support instead 🤦. Well, at least it eventually lets you send that support request.

At least #KoFi lets you remove memberships yourself. It also lets you remove the account entirely but apparently not deactivate it. For that, there's apparently a support request. Sent one, let's see how it goes.

I've never used it for personal stuff, only for work, but since it's always a "process" to get an organization to #donate, here's to small personal donations to support #OpenSource #OSS and say their work is appreciated.

I admit, GitHub has made it really easy with #GitHubSponsors and they don't charge individuals a fee.

Today's donation went to:

Take a look at your favorite open source project, and ask yourself:
What are they worth to you?
What can you do to support them? Are you funding them? Sponsoring them?

I've continued contributing to the Python communities because it truly makes me happy and fulfilled, and because I know I can make a difference in the Python community.

You can support and encourage me to continue doing what I do best by sponsoring me on GitHub.

@artfulrobot i am also looking to diversify funding of our work on #varnishcache and would have started a similar thread soon.
so far i found this overview super helpful:
https://paydevs.github.io/awesome-oss-monetization/
my main question: which #foss #funding aggregators can people recommend? https://opencollective.com/ looks interesting, in particular wrt open accounting. it looks like its largely #opensource - can people confirm? are there good alternatives, not #githubsponsors please?

If you're one of my sponsors on github, you should have gotten an 'Update' by email from me about #Genuary. I haven't yet found an easier way to do this, but I've sent a 'draft link' to an unlisted post on Medium, where I'll update each piece I created from each day's prompt.

A lot of the descriptions and images are still rough, so I'm only sharing them with my supporters. For now, at least.

If someone is doing stuff out there in the world of #opensource that helps your company then paying them goes a long way to help with motivating (social recognition // cash) folks get items over the line.

Thanks to #GitHubSponsors stuff like this is now possible

@rauschma there is a fundamental issue on how you would handle #githubsponsors in the EU from a tax perspective. They do not act as merchant of records but they don’t give enough data to emit proper invoices. It’s a mess pushed down to developers.

You’d need to sort it out with your tax accountant.

Since donations are illegal in my country, I cannot have a #Patreon or #GitHubSponsors. So I've spent time and effort integrating #Gumroad payments and #EthicalAds for my service, neither of which I would have had to do if the law wasn't so stupid.

Now it feels ready, but I'm scared to deploy it, because it deals with people's money and I'm afraid of making mistakes there. Annoying.
