Yes a very good point, the carbon footprint of the average Canadian is 10x that of the average Albanian.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.

Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).

FTA:

In response to the closure of the library entrance to Canadians—who represent at least half of the library’s clientele—the Haskell did what libraries do: found a way to serve its community anyway. It opened a back door, allowing all Canadians to continue to access the library via a small storage room, without crossing the border. Haskell also set up a fundraising drive to renovate this entrance and make it more accessible, asking for $100,000. In under two weeks, it raised $170,000 and counting. The library is essential. The community and the country at large are responding.

This is so true. Indie games are legitimately better these days. AAA titles can have a good game at their core, but it always feels like you're fighting with the game itself to enjoy it. From custom launchers and meaningless boring "side quests" and "achievements" to pad them out. Indie games are much better at cutting right to the point of what makes the experience rewarding.

This comment is conveniently ignoring the part where the developers clarified that lemmy.ml is used for beta testing in a live environment and so it would be dishonest to claim that "development costs" and "hosting costs" could be meaningfully distinguished from one another.
