Indeed, hence: “Support the people whose products you love when possible or fight corporate tax avoidance”.
Moreover, giving software a shout-out, a good review, reporting bugs, or contributing to its forum is also a significant method of support.

Ideally both. However, is “many” the correct word? How many proprietary applications did you count? And I'm not being ironic/sarcastic.

Seems, yes, but I've got my reasons: Money corrupts; bitcoin corrupts absolutely.

@mexicancartel @anguo I don't consider it unrelated at all: “What small-scale interaction will you make today, little firefly?”
Hence “every little bit counts.”

There's a deluge of impersonal, academic, dry sources of information out there. If I chose that road it would just feel like writing a thesis. It's on my personal website, so I hope you can forgive a touch of personality. The levity is what keeps me going; there's so much frustrating/disheartening news all around us and comedy is a crucial way of dealing with it.
Anyhow, I appreciate you taking the time to interact.

If taxes are a concern then I think opencollective.com is the recommended platform:
“Open Collective is a legal and financial toolbox for grassroots groups. It’s a fundraising + legal status + money management platform for your community. What do you want to do?”

every little bit counts.

I should really create a list of websites too actually, but I think I'd be broke after donating to all of them.
