Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Yep, donated/bought to Cryptomator/Fair email/Dav5x... Mostly one-time contributions, though. Better than nothing, I guess.

I did donate first to Mozilla but switched to Thunderbird because I think they're doing a better job. But now that I'm a stay at home dad for one year I stopped because I don't have any income and need to keep my money together while only living from savings until I'm back at work.

I was going to but I forgot, until recently, so I made a donation to a project that is essential to my workflow, that being Qtile, a window manager and Wayland compositor that is just amazing, has an incredible built-in bar, and very low resource usage, especially on the Wayland backend, and it keeps on getting better and closer to perfect, so my donation was to support the further development of the project and to express my gratitude for its existence.

Sometimes

Usually I think of a one time donation as a purchase price for me or sometimes an annual subscription fee depending on how much I use it

Though the amount I put down ain't much, I still think it's a good idea

Yes, I subscribe to a few on Open Collective.

I've donated to the Mozilla Foundation, Wikipedia and Hibiscus/Jameica (banking software) in the past, but haven't in a decade or so.

I have a small monthly budget for donations in general. It's often niche stuff I love to use, and/or humanitarian aid

Yes, the smaller the project, the likelier I donate (more often)

I donate to any project I use that takes xmr.

Yup, to Fediverse, this server, Calyx fondation and Signal

Yes, Syncthing, FreeFileSync, WinSCP, KeePassXC and others.

as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent

I would rather donate to Transmission.

I've donated to Ardour for years and I pitched in at the last Kdenlive find raising. I'd like to chip in more once my budget has stabilized.

Bought a Home Assistant dongle to support them and have a hopefully well supported piece of hardware. Sorely disappointed in it my my old 15 dollar dongle was better.

I'm broke

Yes, also generally I donate different project every 6 months (instead of recurring payment to one project).

I donate about what I figure I'd spend on proprietary products in a year, about $600-800. Mostly KDE and docker containers I use like piped, mailcow, nextcloud, as well as podcasts I listen to as long as they supply an ad-free feed.

not every one but the ones i particularly find useful (i monthly donate to thunderbird and firefox) or through github sponsors

I have a recurrent donation to the development of Lemmy, set up on Liberapay.

Gentoo - three digits Matrix - used to patreon, but it's dead, so I stopped Wiki - occasionally

I really need to support Postgres and Patroni. Next year's goals

No, but I don't have a credit card, so I can't

I donated to libre office recently and I want to start donating to Wikipedia yearly now that I am settled in my first job

I donated to Linux Mint once, I think it’s time to make another donation.

This time, I think I’ll donate to one of the emulator developers. I’ll have to take a look and see which platform is currently receiving updates pretty regularly. I’m learning towards ryujinx as that’s the main switch emulator I use. But I’m also considering pcsx2 as I really love that system.

When Keybase did its Stellar giveaway back in the day I donated some Lumens to the Tor Project and another thing I don't remember.

I've donated in the past to elementaryOS, other Linux projects and separately to Wikipedia.

I've tried contributing code, but it's miniscule. I wish I could give more time.

this post has inspired me to look into it! i already was a part of proton's unlimited plan, but im def gonna start financially giving to other projects (and developers of said projects) that have been life changing for me, primarily linux mint and kde!

Not directly per se. I donate to Wikipedia, EFF, and the ACLU. I guess Wikipedia is FOSS?

Yes, I donate $1-5 monthly to many devs.

I wish I could 😢
