Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Every Christmas, to the most used projects of the year (that are not rich already).

I'll soon have a salary and, as I mainly pirate music, I'd like to donate to SpotiFlyer and the artists I listen to the most. However, so far I haven't donated anything.

No, but I plan to as soon as I can financially afford to.

There are countless Foss tools I'm using that deserve the money.

Currently I try to "contribute" by releasing my stuff into the open source space for free.

I have before and likely will again, though I don't on a continuous basis.

I give $10/month to RiseUp for their VPN service.

Debian project once a year, I also donated to Mozilla and Libreoffice last year.

I donate to Linux Mint every now and then.

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

Yes, I subscribe to a few on Open Collective.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

I donate to any project I use that takes xmr.

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.

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

I'm broke

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

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

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

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

Not yet, but I will when I get a job. I want to give back to the community, but I can't afford it right now.

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.

I wish I could 😢

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.

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

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!
