There are more ways to help Open Source and sometimes opening well documented bug tickets with information on how the devs can replicate a problem or by improving the publicly facing documentation or opening a PR request is as valuable or even more valuable to the project as money donations.
My point is even if you guys can't have the financial means to donate, you can still help by spending some of your free time to help an open source project and that would be equally valuable!
i can't code for shit, but i am willing to help in any way i can. at the moment thats money and bug reports.
Sometimes the documentation is a big one. A lot of good devs can't write help files for shit.
Hey!
...
Okay.
Awesome!
Yup. So true. I haven't paid for films or series ever full stop (although I have used a streaming service my parents have paid for a few times), and the only times I've paid for games was when I've bought them from a second-hand reseller (and often sold them back to that reseller).
When it comes to donating however, after forgetting for so many months, I finally pulled the trigger on a donation to an Open Source project I use almost every day, qtile (Link: https://github.com/qtile/qtile )
