It started with me wanting to support Lemmy, my Lemmy instance and Voyager. Then I checked what other open source apps I had installed from F-Droid. It would exceed my budget to donate to them all, so I chose the 10 apps that I most frequently use.

This is just my personal list, but I thought it's a nice idea to share it and maybe others will do the same and donate to their most used open source apps and projects.

@squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 5$ is kinda nothing, but his 5$ plus my 5$ plus your 5$ and all the others that donates, it's something

That's exactly my idea. I could have just donated and stayed quiet, but I thought I could inspire others to donate as well.

I started pitching in when I realized others were doing it and I was benefiting when I was younger broke... So now it is my turn.

I pay for FOSS so other people have access to it in some free usable form without spying.

As middle age cuck with a job, it is my turn.
