I know he does. I was saying that the code getting taken down from GitHub would be nowhere near the "end of the battle". He would just rehost it elsewhere.
The former poster was incorrect in saying he was asking for donations (he was asking for people to say they would donate, if the need were to arise)
However, a few hours ago, he uploaded a followup video stating he has uploaded the code in question himself, and is inviting Bambu Labs to challenge him legally. In the video he did mention where donations could be made but I don't recall him specifically asking for donations for this particular cause.
People feel uncomfortable when faced with situations like these. It sucks that none of your friends or family are able to push past the feeling of discomfort to tell you that you're ok. But, people are people 🤷🏽♂️
I went to a Twenty One Pilots concert in like 2018 (I know, not nearly as cool as some other shows listed...) They were my favorite band at the time, and the show was super cool. The arena had a main stage in the front with the screens and special effects, and another stage in the back with practically nothing on it. At one point in the show, both band members dropped below the stage, and like 5 seconds later, were performing on the other stage. We were on the floor, so we got to be a part of the mad dash to get to the other side, and then back again.
They pulled a fan out from the crowd to play N64 Mario Kart with the drummer on the big center screen.
Then towards the end of the show, the drummer climbed into a giant inflatable hamster ball and crowd ran across the floor.
I'm lucky in that my hobbies and interests were able to secure me a decently well paying job and I don't have any major ailments or dependencies (no kids or family to take care of beyond my dog). I'm certainly not "heterosexual white male" privileged, but I can't say I pulled the shortest straw by any means.
Sorry to hear you've been in worse straights. I was on the brink of homelessness for a month or two like 2 3 years ago and the thought of living on my own or with people I am not compatible with was terrifying. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Somehow someway, man. That's been the motto since 2018.
I appreciate the advice. I could get fired tomorrow and be mostly ok for the rest of the year. But I don't think I'll ever shake the, "are you really spending $20 for a single meal? That won't even give you leftovers?" mentality.
Those simple designs are the foundation of the more complex ones you will create in the future. If you have need and determination, you can design anything!
I have over 200 games (not the largest library I know but still sizable) and most of them are unplayed and never will be. A majority of them come from the monthly Humble Bundle subscription that gives me like 7-12 games a month. I haven't redeemed any in a while, I mainly keep the sub for the store discount, and the mild feeling of goodwill I receive for having donated to "charity" (since Humble's acquisition by EA I question how much of this goes to charity).
I haven't been in debt for like 2 years now and I still tell myself that I don't need to spend more money on food. I probably skip dinner (that I can afford to eat) 2 or 3 times a week because the only way I'll eat something is if I pay for it.
I do the first one all the time. I'll be in the middle of something while talking, or struggle to remember the correct word, and I'll just kinda trail off. Then maybe 10 seconds later I'll remember that I just stopped talking mid-sentence and try to pick back up.
He certainly can be off-putting. The two videos related to this topic were pretty good though, imo
