I absolutely do, not necessarily on the pirating tools I use , though.
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.
Every Christmas, to the most used projects of the year (that are not rich already).
I’ve donated to KDE before and plan on doing again. I plan on increasing the frequency when I graduate and have a job.
Yes, usually at the end of the year if there are funds to spare I'll donate to a bunch of FOSS projects, other non-profits, websites, etc. especially if I use them year-round.
I give $10/month to RiseUp for their VPN service.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I wish I could 😢
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 have a recurrent donation to the development of Lemmy, set up on Liberapay.
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.
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.
not every one but the ones i particularly find useful (i monthly donate to thunderbird and firefox) or through github sponsors
