Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects? (lemmy.ml)

If so, how do you choose which ones to donate to? Do you prefer regular or recurring donations? What payment methods do you like to use?

I use monero to donate monthly to projects I use

  • Grapheneos
  • Molly.im
  • Divest
  • Tor
  • Free tube
  • Keypass
  • Qubes!!
  • Privacy guides

I use monero to pay for services i use

  • Mullvad

For the projects that don't accept monero I use Libre pay

  • Briar...

Why briar of all projects doesn't accept monero I will never know....

.....

I tried to drink the Kool-Aid, I have to use the ecosystem if I want to support the ecosystem, if I want it to grow. The same reason I'm using lemmy

If you want to see options I recommend https://monerica.com/#non-profits

Qubes is so cool. The most under-rated Linux distro imo. Not my daily driver but a very cool concept.

Yes! They're my kind of crazy.

I run it on one of my machines all the time. I'd say after about 3 weeks it's totally usable, you get used to the quirks. Framework is such a good pairing with qubes.

There, fixed that for you.

It wasn't broken. But thank you for letting people know it works on platforms other then xen.
