I donate hundreds of hours of my time every year maintaining several open source projects. Does that count?

You're kind of Robin Hood if you steal software and give the money to FOSS projects. 😄
I'm broke
Not too broke to own a PC or smart phone to be here, so easy excuse imo. Small bits also help, it's the gesture that counts.
Don't shame others into donating please.
In order to participate in modern life you have to own a device which is able to connect to the internet. Also older devices get often gifted away to those who can less afford them.
Debian project once a year, I also donated to Mozilla and Libreoffice last year.
Of course. I donate to the Lemmy developers, Wikipedia and a few others.
But donating is kinda hard sometimes because I would really like a system, where dependencies also get some.
Take Lemmy for example. It's built with rust and uses lots of crates (libraries). So why not give like 50% to Lemmy and the other half to the used crates. And those also split with their dependencies.
