Donations and grants from particulars and organizations or funds. You can do a one-time or recurring donation directly from the app.

It's a non-profit, so they don't need to be profitable, just cover the costs.

Yes, I agree it's a lot.

I think that with "recruiting" and "HR services" they mean outsourced services, so maybe not all of it goes directly to the employees.

It's not only salaries:

about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.

It says that they have 50 full time employees.

Great game! Just finished it on the Steam Deck.

Now I'm starting Botanicula. Loving it so far

Yes!! I used Linux back then (still do) and I absolutely hated M$, but I loved the Intellimouse.

Great Scott has a series of videos about basic electronics concepts and components. Highly recommended: Electronics basics

I created a new steam account with a different email address just to order mine on a different country than my main account. You might need a local payment method for the country you are shipping to. Not sure if that's the case for Europe, but it's required for some countries.

The option was there, but it wasn't ready for every day use. The performance impact was significant. The couple times I tried it, it was practically unusable. The UI also showed a warning about performance when you enabled it

Maybe take a look at BEAM robotics. Specially Pummer circuits.

The idea of Pummer circuits is to store energy from a small solar panel during the day and flash an LED at night. Energy is normally stored in super capacitors or NiCd batteries.

Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but it can give you some ideas to experiment with.

Great game! And very playable on mobile too. I also enjoyed Shapez a lot. Looking forward to the sequel.

One of the best games ever! Doing a vanilla Royalty run now, and looking forward to try Biotech later.
