Part of the app resides on the GitHub infrastructure, where GitHub stores, processes and displays results. So their costs are not zero.

But GitHub could take a “tax the rich” approach to pricing by charging enterprise customers more for self-hostingand leave it free for others.

A lot of open source is funded like that— most funding for a project comes from a very few companies and everything else uses it free or for very low donations or costs.

My job involves maintaining Linux servers so there are no problems with Linux as my desktop.

Currently Arch Linux as the desktop OS.

Years ago I used a voicemail to text service that worked like that— It was powered by human transcribers.

You have never had some family member experience a broken website that they needed to work but you were not around to fix it on the server side?

This is better than directional arrows or alt tab because you can go directly to any window with one binding to open the utility and a second key to type a window label.

The beauty is that it’s the same short process to go to any window no matter if if you 15 visible windows across 3 monitors.

You don’t have to conceptually switch to an output and then to a window or type a string of directional keys like Super+LLLLLJJ

On a 4k monitor, I sometimes have 6 or 8 visible plus 3 or 4 more on a second and another on a third.

So something like sway-easyfocus for direct jumping via keyboard is quite nice.

Sway does not allow you to jump directly to a non-adjacent window natively, no.

But find sway-easyfocus which I contributed to. It does exactly this.

That’s real engineering when you throw away the first draft and start over.

As opposed to quitting or trying to force the first approach riddled with problems to work.

But companies like to make money default though.

Let me get this straight, you want to suspend AND resume?

Many smaller projects not explicitly supported by the vendor only make new releases and don’t also maintain a stable version.

$70 if you hand deliver it to me. It’s my final offer.
