Why not simply say donation

It’s about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying “Here’s the software, we’ll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it”. It’s an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

In the end it’s just a semantic difference, it’s just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.

I agree that this way of displaying the data is appropriate, but it would be nice to have a very visible indicator of this. Some kind of highlighted “fold” line or something at the very bottom of the chart, maybe. If I can deduce the units from context, and the trend is more interesting than absolute numbers, then I’m not going to look at the axes most of the time

That quote is not from the first one though, it’s from the second one

having added cookies, there must be a setting to only optionally store the cookies

Setting aside that this feature wouldn’t even need cookies, that’s not how it works. Functional cookies that aren’t used for tracking don’t need any user information or consent, even under GDPR.

Why would i bother with player-specific volume controls when my OS’ volume controls are right there, easier to access and work the same across anything I’m doing?

Edit: being downvoted for asking a question, cool

This is not at all relevant to the comment you’re responding to. Your choice of password manager doesn’t change that whatever system you’re authenticating against still needs to have at least a hash of your password. That’s what passkeys are improving on here
