Kalamatee Needs Support

[Terminills]

Competing articles to the contrary, there is no shortage of work out there.  I can't even walk down the street around my office and not trip over help wanted signs.

Must be nice in my area you can't walk down the street and see a single one.

[Terminills]

i dont want to speak for anybody, especially as im not really informed. but think of what might happen if the community so to say "hired" someone like that for their benefit, a work he obviously enjoys. this obviously addresses aros community in first place, but who knows. wile i doubt it a little, but what if enough funds might be gathered this way to guarantee stable income and steady development, rather than looking for some dumb job?

I know more about his situation than most but it's not my place to say.   All I can say is some things are hard to move away from.

Not trying to be flip, but maybe time to move?

Well since I personally don't need one I have no reason to move.

I that was the case Hyperion, MorphOS devs etc all would be working full time on their respective OS with all of our support.  It's time for a real j.o.b.  We'd all love to work on what we love, at home, our own boss etc.  Sometimes that doesn't happen.

I see we view this differently... you view it as a handout I view it as payment for services rendered.

But he wasn't charging for the services,  so essentially you'd be bailing him out.  Either way, I don't care.  I'd just go look for a job.  If there isn't one in my city,  then it's time to move.

Ahh gotcha so if someone doesn't put an actual price tag on their time it holds no value?   You are free to consider it whatever you want.

I wholly agree.
I'm about to head out in an hour for a job interview (an upgrade, I'm already employed, just not earning as much as I want).
If only a few hundred of us only gave this guy $5 a month, he would be at least able to make ends meet.

So, I'm in.
It isn't "get a job, mofo", its "thanks for the work, hope you can continue".

Besides, I WANT better AMD gpu support.
Its my preference over Nvidia.

If you expect money for work,  ask in the beginning.   Don't expect money if you've been working all this time for free.  An individual's lack of finances isn't the problem of the community.  AROS doesn't pay the bills.  A real job does.  I dunno,  I guess I'm more of a guy that is in line with reality and knows what will pay the bills and doesnt.

If that community pays him enough,  good for him,  but if I was him I'd be lookin for a real job.  Good luck.

No, your just another Texan with an opinion.
The father of my best friend growing up was from Texas, I've learning not to ask Texans' their opinions (as they will offer them if you're in earshot either way, and when you don't agree with them, they'll just repeat themselves :hammer:).

Its funny to read replies like yours.   When people dont agree with you, you have to result to a half-baked attempt at an insult.  LMAO.

Its ok, I'm not offended.  Enjoy and Good Luck!  :-)

[Niding]

We shouldnt get all wired up if people are not willing to support. Thats fine.

I just posted it to raise awareness of the situation, and those that feel they can spare some cash, and they feel it worthwhile, good stuff.

If not, thats fine too.

Sorry, offending you wasn't the intention.
It was for the amuzement of others here who have had the same experience with Texans (and I have relatives there, so...).

BTW - I didn't think the Republican party could come up with someone that would make me miss your village idiot (W.), but they've managed to do just that.

And - The last good argument I had with a Texan, was about sucession (and how well THAT worked out the last time).

Although...you seem pretty level headed, so...good luck to you too.
We're all going to need it.

Just to help derail this thread even further.

Unfortunately I'm not into politics.  I dont vote.  All politicians are garbage, even the current POTUS.
You're not trying hard enough.  Still not offended, just laughing my ass off over here. :-)
