We still have another week before we can access the money that has been donated, so as a last push I’ve raised the target by £200. Plenty of time! If you haven’t donated and are able to please do!! I hope you will get well soon. Sorrowly I can not help with money because currently I struggle from month to month to have even enough money for buying food. No worries on this. I appreciate the concern and understand struggling to pay bills or even living with little to no money. I am 63 and have had a varied life, had periods of no money concerns at all, periods of struggling and even periods of being essentially homeless and living on the streets. Also I would like to let everyone know any amount is fine for a donation. I have got donations as small as $1.63 (someone in Russia) and currently have a recurring donation of $5 a month (thanks Moss). Anyway bernard hope things get better for you ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Wow, this is all sad to hear. And for someone living in Germany with a good (although rapidly declining at the moment) health care system and employee rights, what you describe is hard to imagine.
I hope my contribution helps a little.

Boy am I glad I visited this forum today. Although the tone of this post is serious, there is still reason to be of good cheer: the sun is out over here, each of you reading this woke up above ground, etc. But also consider this:
I do believe we are approaching our target.
Wherever you are, pour yourself a glass (or cup) of your favorite beverage. And raise it for our friend ylee, who does his best in all things. (not just Bodhi)
Cheers, mate! Help is on the way, from New Jersey

I am surprised to learn that my donation is the only recurring donation. Please, anyone who can, Bodhi needs your support in terms of dollars. My donation is only $60 per year. And you're welcome, ylee.

I am after confirmation, that for an international donation, the PayPal fee for the recipient is 3.6% of the amount received in US dollars + US$0.30. For example, if I donate US$103.90, the recipient will receive US$100. Is that right? www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/paypal-feesI also need to know if the developers would prefer a larger one-off payment, now, or a smaller regular payment? (I believe PayPay offers a monthly recurring payment option.)

Yes, I think your conversion math is right or close enough anyway. And naturally, at this point in my life, I prefer larger one-time payments. But in better circumstances, I would prefer monthly payments altho few do that or have done it in the past. Regardless all donations are appreciated. Thanks

Hello ylee,
First of all, congratulations on a fine product.
I need to point out, also, that my conversion math is incorrect. This first problem is that the rates I quoted in my above post apply to Australian PayPal accounts, not US PayPal accounts. The second problem is with the math itself (as you realised and I had a hunch something was off, also). After some head scratching, yesterday, I succeeded in working out the correct formulas for both domestic and international donations in USD to cover your PayPal fees. (I can post the formulas, if that is helpful for people who want to cover the fees, exactly.)
All right, ylee, I will see what I can do. (I had some currency set aside for another purpose, that is now available to be reallocated, so it is good timing that we meet when we do.) (It will be Monday.)
Peace,
Tom

Sorry. I just read about your health. Hope you are feeling better and things work out eventually. I will send a donation.

That's outrageous! Charging people vast sums of money for asthma medication. Inhalers are life saving. At least the NHS is better than that, although they are always trying to curb the prescriptions to the bare minimum. I will make a donation. Is there someone you can complain to? (MP equivalent?). I googled it and others are having the same issues.

Anyway bernard hope things get better for you ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Hello, Although I haven't been active in this forum for a long time, I was very pleased with your reaction and am still very interested in participating with you. However, lately, I haven't had enough strength and free resources to contribute. In various ways, things have been only moderately well for me. Nevertheless, I have remained loyal to Bodhi Linux and continue to use version 6 on my PC as well as the legacy version on my netbook, a so-called "emachine." I have not yet updated to Bodhi Linux 7 as my PC is reaching its limits. My hard drive is nearly full, and an expansion is currently not possible. I hope I am still welcome. I have thought about the Bodhi Forum from time to time.
Also I've continued to develop or enhance scripts, some of which can be found on GitHub. Recently, I created a Bash script for downloading YouTube transcripts, which is still in the beta phase. This script facilitates the download of a transcript from YouTube. It's an beta because currently it somewhat annoys me to have to develop this script to the last degree of foolproofness, as I do not intend to conquer the world market with it. (Currently also with some comments only in German.) Do you know this feeling? You write a script for a simple task, and then you have to enhance it because someone might enter their social security number instead of a file name, or the names of their cat and dog instead of a path. There are moments when I hate this. ;-) #!/usr/bin/env bash # # yt-transkript # Version: 1.0.0 # # Project Description: # Automatically gets the transcript of a YouTube video. # # Usage: # ./yt-transkript "url" # # Dependencies: # - yt-dlp # # Author: Bernd Storck # Contact: https://www.facebook.com/BStLinux/ # # History: 2024-04-10 # # Copyright: 2023, Bernd Storck # License: GNU General Public License 3.0 #

Additionally, I have created a German-language Wikipedia article about the text editor "tea." Regards
