All about open source! Feel free to ask questions, and share news, and interesting stuff!
Community icon from opensource.org, but we are not affiliated with them.
Probably 100% Mozilla.
The free and open web is so in danger right now.
I wouldn't donate to a nonprofit that pays 5 mil a year to their CEO, it sounds to me they have the money but waste it on the wrong things.
Same reason I don't donate to Wikipedia. They act like they're running on fumes but in reality they have money.
They have a very long history of mismanaging money and wasting it on worthless projects, not to mention multi-million dollar executive salaries while laying off hundreds of workers and many other controversies.
Firefox is the only reason I don't want that useless walking corpse to die for good. And I can't even support it, since it belongs to the corporation rather than the foundation.
1k to NixOS, (my perfect distro)
500 to NewPipe (dont know what I would do without them)
500 to Bitwarden (for hosting my passwords),
500 to XFCE (for the Wayland transition),
500 to Neovim (my text editor of choice),
500 for Aurora Store (essential for all Custom ROM users, to support them in these difficult times),
500 for the core Lemmy project,
500 for my instance's maintainers,
and last, but definitely not least:
500 for The Everything Project: A project which aims to provide a unified way to access various platforms and services including but not limited to Lemmy and other Fediverse platforms, Reddit, and more. (no, I'm not a contributor or maintainer, but if you want to be, or just want to find out more: https://github.com/everything-gripe )
Godot!
Second for godot!
Gimp or libre office.
Probably either Ryujinx or RPCS3.
Lemmy, Mastodon, Mozilla (Firefox), MuseScore (music notation), VLC
mastodon (& tusky) lemmy (& thunder) helix editor lapce forgejo bitwarden alacritty linux kernel ublock origin signal
That's off the top of my head. I think I might also print a bunch of stickers promoting the fediverse.
Debian and mozilla.
Mozilla needs all they can get to compete with Google or else we risk losing a free and open internet.
uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don't take donations. So my list would roughly contain:
I'd like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it's not possible to only support Firefox development.
uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don't take donations.
You can always donate to the people who maintain the filter lists!
Kdenlive (my video editor, already donate them $40/yr)
Krita (image editing program I occasionally use)
Linux Lite (my first distro)
Lemmy (obvious)
uBlock origin (obvious)
Internet archive (to preserve what we had)
EFF (to fight against corporations trying to bend the laws in their favor)
Some Apps I've used from F-droid
KDE, Lemmy, Mozilla, Eclipse, and openSUSE. £1000 each.
1000 each to jellyfin, OBSProject, Linux Mint, Calibre, and Krita
Newpipe
Not my favourite but the most important: A proper fully integrated clinical information system. Currently all OSS are lacking behind seriously and especially the developing world but also rich countries would benefit so much from a proper system. But sadly even that amount wouldn't cut it.
This is a topic that really needs money to safe lifes and safe money for everyone.
Joplin and Lemmy.
Joplin finally freed me from dealing with the likes of Evernote ever again.
Sponsorblock
Gimp
PeerTube
Artix Linux (my personal distro)
Graphene OS (my phone)
NeoVim (my text editor)
LibreWolf (my browser)
ublockOrigin (my God)
I recently donated to immich. That project created a product that allows me to take back ownership over my photographs and no longer am I dependent on Google for my memories.
Give everything to NixOS
KiCad, FreeCAD, GIMP, Inkscape, & LibreOffice.
I already donate to one of the libraries I use on GitHub sponsors, also the box86 developer and a few others. I am donating to the UVTools developer as it was cheaper than paying for the shitty proprietary software subscription for my resin printer. I've donated to pmOS in the past as well as Debian and Arch.
Emacs/Doom Emacs, Linux foundation, VLC, Latex/Tikz, KeePassXC, LibreOffice.
Have you looked at typst? It's a very promising LaTeX alternative.
FreeCAD
Probably some others after more thought... but first off, to:
Trisquel GNU/Linux
LibreOffice
VLC
GIMP

Qutebrowser as I use it daily, and it is by far the best browser for me.
I've already done a small donation to Pihole because I'm broke. If I had 5k to donate, that money would go to them again.
