Same. I’ve been thinking about who to donate to this year, and it looks like they’re making the cut. I’ll probably also throw some money at my Lemmy instance and a handful of projects I use, including Tor, because apparently they got caught in the dragnet too.
Which other projects caught your attention? I was going to donate to Graphene, EFF and some TOR operators
Far more than I can reasonably support:
- self hosted things I use - caddy, the document foundation, Jellyfin, Forgejo, etc
- Android apps - F-Droid, NewPipe, Signal, RethinkDNS, etc
- desktop apps - flatpak, For, Godot, etc
- infrastructure stuff - let’s encrypt, openssh, Linux distros (mine doesn’t accept donations unfortunately), etc
But the short list for now is:
- Let’s Encrypt
- Signal
- F-Droid
And I’ll probably run a Tor relay or something as well.
If only there was a decentralised tracker which would track project funding and give us metrics like which project is dangerously close to shutting down
Man, ReThink is such a lifesaver. It’s so good people at Graphene recommend it. I might give Qubes some bucks too, they are awesome
Well donating is good it’s not going to replace the government funding.
