@unknown1234_5 I want my software to be updated in the background but limited to using only 10% of any resource (bandwidth, CPU etc) while doing so.

I can always set it to automatic somehow, but I never saw those utilities offering a maximum download speed or CPU/Disk utilization setting in any distro.

@dansup@mastodon.social I recently read about the idea of "patron posts", i.e. giving people the option to set their profile up so people with invested interest in your work/art can subscribe to individual accounts.
This would both attract artists and entertainers (won't use "content creator", imho it's a derogative term), but could also finance the very instance they use if there's f.e. a 1% cut on every transaction.

Would be hell of an implementation nightmare to properly work with the "change instance"

@dansup@mastodon.social As long as the kind if monetization ain't morally apprehensible it's actually kind of a good thing. Running instances is hella pricy at some point after all.

I just fear the time when big companies start to aggressively join incl. their whole marketing lying schemes and exploitative behaviour…
