Same reason NFC payments on Android were super niche for years before Apple finally implemented it

I'm very interested in why you think that. Do you have numbers?

The concept of a mobile wallet was invented in Kenya in 2007 with no input from Apple. That then spread to East Asia where in China, not NFC payments but QR-code payments have been a thing since 2011 and they have barely caught on in the West. There are massive developments and usage of different technologies happening outside of Western countries of which the majority are now on Android simply due to price.

Or why so many apps don’t use Android features that would improve them because iOS doesn’t offer that feature

Which features are these?

Are you an Android user? And which continent are you on? I'm guessing your views are very much centered around a personal experience in a single country or even region, but I may be wrong.

I've had multiple responses asking to take a test before any call or interview. A fair bit, actually. Only agreed to it once and won't do it again either, but in this economy, it wouldn't surprise me if desperation drove people to just do it.

Hmm... OK. Not sure you're right in this instance. PWAs have been shit on iPhones for ages due to everything being forced to use Safari on that platform. Probably less people use PWAs on iPhone than on Android. Most people probably didn't even know of PWAs (as seen right in this comment section in a tech community).

Is it possible to comment on it from the fediverse?

I wish you strength, my friend

Maybe it's the instance I'm posting from, but it doesn't work.

Broken or broke?

Thanks Carl.

My search query was "financial report" and I stopped scrolling after after a few seconds on the page. Maybe working with tabs on that page or having a table of contents would help. I was honestly expecting a PDF 🤔 I find the way wikipedia does it really good https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/financial-reports/ . A simple "wikipedia financial report" query brings me to their page.

this is because giving money individually to a KDE subproject is a lot of logistic and unless the project is big and receive a lot of money, the amount collected for the individual project won’t be enough to do anything meaningful for the project. But we had a trial with Kdenlive specific fundraising, which worked reasonably well last year so maybe we will see more subprojects specific fundraising in the future.

I kinda understand. As said before, I do trust KDE more than I do Mozilla, who uses the exact same response to say "you can't donate towards Firefox" and then you see what they do with the money - it doesn't go to firefox.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but seeing a moneyflow graph, diagram or just simple table of how the pot is split by project would be amazing. The current table doesn't mention a single project. Maybe personnel just jumps between projects as they see fit and don't contribute to a single project, which would make tracking difficult? I assume that's the case.

At the very least adding the option for people donating to say "my money is for all of KDE, but I'm donating because of project XYZ" would give you data on which projects people really value and a bit of a reason why they use KDE.

This developers accepting donations often have this info on their website

I would very much appreciate a section on the donation page or even a separate page of "Contributors", projects they are involved in / function / what they do, and official links to their donation options (liberapay, github account, paypal, website with payment information, crypto address, whatever).

Because liberapay is a third-party website and I'd have to first verify that the in the search query actually does contribute to KDE.
