I have about €10 in Proprietary software purchases, and €1500 in donations to FOSS projects.
This is the way
This is the way, my bruthas
Would you accept sloppy mouth kisses from a basset hound in the form of thanks? Because though I am not affiliated with any foss project, I am affiliated with some charitable corporations and this makes my soul happy. And my neighbor’s basset hound is really cute.
Yes I will accept kisses.
I’ve given a lot more money to the Krita Foundation than any other graphics applications combined. Every time there’s an update I’m like “woaaah awesome taek mi monies!!”
My life.
I have voluntarily donated more to Free Software development than I ever allowed myself to be forced to pay for proprietary software.
Feeeeeeels good.
I donate to the most important projects out there: Servo, PostmarketOS, F-Droid, Signal (from time to time).
What’s “Servo”? Searching all I find are, well, servos lol
New, open source rendering engine. It’s our best chance at getting multiplatform, web based apps that don’t depend on Apple or Microsoft. Hopefully also new web browser that can be an alternative to Firefox.
Hey, random question here. Is there a project or a website where you can specify your Foss projects which you want to give money to and how much and you only have one payment? In my head I think it would be cool if I could split 50 euros in percent or something like this and target my favorite 20 projects. Obviously this project or website should and must be secure and trustworthy.
Just do it
I remember buying a CD set of FreeBSD 3.3 back in the day. Partially to support the project, and partially because the alternative was to download it over 33.6baud where I paid per minute.
Buying
$10$1000 Proprietary SoftwareDonating $10 to FOSS SoftwareSubscribing to the FOSS Software Patron Tier for $10/moBuying software for 10 bucks isn’t even bad. Buying a license, which can be revoked at any time, is.
Template for those that want it.
Thanks!
