Idealist.org has been a job board for non profits for decades, and you can find volunteer positions there at times. Once upon a time I even worked at idealist itself when they had grander dreams

I can tell that most of you don't live in Oregon. When I had a gas car up until two years ago, and I mostly got gas at CostCo. I did live in Virginia for three years. And I would say getting gas at CostCo in Oregon was 80% of the tim

Urgh. I have an open source hobby endpoint hosted for free on heroku for many years. Used by a bunch of websites / discord bots / desktop applications as a REST backend. Annoying to have to open a case just to continue operating.

I used to feel that way, then I got an electric car with a 250 mile range last year. I really have not felt the desire to ever have a gasoline car since. Hybrids have so many more parts needed, that I feel like they will simply have more

I agree with the annoyance at the change. I would recommend BetterTouchTool ( https://folivora.ai/ ) to get back the ability to maximize windows with a click. Also you can drag windows to the right or left of the screen, and
