how much do you donate to the apps you use? (lemmy.zip)

I've got some standing orders of 1 or 2 euros every month for bigger projects like grapheneos and kde. And for small apps that I actively use, I try to donate 5 or 10 euros now and then. It's not much but I believe if everyone is doing their part we succeed in the long run

Nothing because I literally have no money

I don't have "literally no money" but yeah I'm in the same boat. Used to donate but with the price of everything going up the last couple of years, it's drained any and all discretionary spending...

Look on a price comparison site. Most of the bill increases are due to the loyalty tax.

huh?

Companies always give their best deals to new customers. You are likely paying way higher than market rate for your bills.

That's not the issue, I promise.
