SPC has (almost) never actively asked for donations to keep afloat, and for the forseeable future we will continue to not do so. But if everybody did, like a simple foundation or something could be established to keep it running. But I just don't think it would work out without a serious reduction in operating costs, which would be impossible to implement since I would be dead.
The best thing I can do is to keep the software maintained so it could operate as long as possible without intervention and maybe you guys would get an extra six months to find a new home before the site crashed forever.
Trivia: there was exactly one time that I e-begged for donations, because I was locked out of our paypal at the time and needed to pay for hosting. Exactly two people stepped up to donate, one person not even on SPC paid the bulk of it. I returned their money after I was able to get back into Paypal.
We've received free donations since then, some to a monero wallet I can't find anymore.
if you want it for like, education and becoming a better person and stuff like that, well, it's reverted back to only rich people being able to do that like it used to be I guess.
@cell@moffintosh I have tried to negotiate with employers but they have all the power and they know you need a job so I don't recall ever getting anything. A couple times I tried to negotiate for better vacation, I even said "I will take a lower salary if you give me more vacation days" and they literally would not do it.
Things are bad but you can probably go back to any major thing like the Cuban missile crisis and people weren’t as fucked as when they had a glowing sadness box taped to their head all day every day
