Well, I did a small research and I couldn't find any cases of the US government discriminating foreign business owners by passport. There are several cases in the EU, but the US looks clear so far. Hence my interest in that location.

I was an e-resident for 10 years, had a company and paid all taxes, but this year they refused to prolong it due to my nationality. So, I don't recommend Estonia at all, they can easily screw you over at any time. :(

Since I'm looking for a replacement atm, what's the best US state to register a simple and cheap LLC for a foreigner?

I'm interested, mostly in the method though, as I also like languages.

I’m flying an ultralight in Europe and my IAS is in km/h. And to be frank, probably all UL and PPL aircraft I’ve seen nearby use km/h, not knots. Not sure why it is so, but it’s definitely easier for my brain. :)

Some time ago I've built an OpenCV-based real time masks plugin for my videoconference tool but unfortunately had to limit it to a single thread WASM version because of browser support. That resulted in 320x240 videos when mask was on. However as an experiment I also ran a 8-threaded version locally and its performance on a laptop from 2015 was more than enough for an almost 30fps stream with a standard video size.

If anyone is interested you may check it out on https://xroom.app or even contribute with ideas and commits: https://github.com/punarinta/xroom-plugins/tree/master/nisdo.... For the masks I'd still recommend a desktop browser though.

If you're curious but don't want to bother clicking too much here's how it all looks like: https://imgur.com/93YR87e

Hehe, I had to do the same a week ago. The only difference is Slack’ing instead of mailing and also cart prepopulation because those delivery slots are taken out almost instantly in my city. This is in the EU btw, not specifying the country or chain to, well, to be able to survive longer.

Regarding Whereby, I used them actively until they became paid for groups bigger than four and introduced sign-up. Then I decided to build my own free solution porting many features in a form of plugins, to keep the main tool light and fast. You can check it out if interested: https://xroom.app

Just out of curiosity, did you try it from a desktop browser or from a mobile one?

Exactly! socket.io was there mostly to speed up prototyping. I plan to replace it with vanilla code soon, to make the frontend app even more lightweight.

Right now it doesn't cost much to host. But soon I plan to create a proper plugin store (currently there are only a few plugins available to general public as you may see) and encourage people to develop and upload their own plugins, so I will have to scale up for all that. Regarding the backend, it's a node.js application.

But speaking about "different audience", what audience would you suggest? Gamers, like in case of Twitch?

Actualy there is such a mode already (without payments though). Through the server API it's possible to create a room as a webinar that behaves exactly like that.

Probably what I should do is to allow people to create webinars not just via API but also from the interface.

Thanks for the hint!

Do you mean something like using it in one-broadcasts-many-watch mode?

Oh, that's really nice to hear! Any improvement suggestions? Or maybe new plugins you'd like to see?

Sorry, what information do you mean?

Thank you! :) If you have any suggestions on improvement I'll be super happy to discuss that and hopefully implement.

When you say "if a Russian court determines" this sounds like an insult to me. Simply check out how recently lots of people have been convicted for nothing, for a poster, a like, for jogging, for trying to get elected, for a youtube video.

I kindly ask you to stop believing that Russia is a place where unicorns shit with rainbow and courts work. No, they do not. And by not acknowledging putin's terror against us you literally deprive us of a right to become a normal country again one day.

(just in case, I didn't downvote the post above)

Oh my, I still see people in the comments who naively think this is a copyright issue. Seriously? 15 years after the alleged event? With physical violence against software developers?

It's only one among thousands of cases when putinists rob successful companies. The world must put more pressure on putinism, because eventually all the stolen resources turn into imprisonments of people in the country and deaths of people in the countries attacked by that putinist machine.
