Sometimes

Usually I think of a one time donation as a purchase price for me or sometimes an annual subscription fee depending on how much I use it

Though the amount I put down ain't much, I still think it's a good idea

Every Christmas, to the most used projects of the year (that are not rich already).

I have before and likely will again, though I don't on a continuous basis.

I’ve donated to KDE before and plan on doing again. I plan on increasing the frequency when I graduate and have a job.

Yes, usually at the end of the year if there are funds to spare I'll donate to a bunch of FOSS projects, other non-profits, websites, etc. especially if I use them year-round.

I give $10/month to RiseUp for their VPN service.

No, but I plan to as soon as I can financially afford to.

There are countless Foss tools I'm using that deserve the money.

Currently I try to "contribute" by releasing my stuff into the open source space for free.

Bought a Home Assistant dongle to support them and have a hopefully well supported piece of hardware. Sorely disappointed in it my my old 15 dollar dongle was better.

I've donated to the Mozilla Foundation, Wikipedia and Hibiscus/Jameica (banking software) in the past, but haven't in a decade or so.

Yes, I subscribe to a few on Open Collective.

I have a small monthly budget for donations in general. It's often niche stuff I love to use, and/or humanitarian aid

I donate to any project I use that takes xmr.

Yup, to Fediverse, this server, Calyx fondation and Signal

I've donated to Ardour for years and I pitched in at the last Kdenlive find raising. I'd like to chip in more once my budget has stabilized.

Yes, Syncthing, FreeFileSync, WinSCP, KeePassXC and others.

as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent

I would rather donate to Transmission.

When Keybase did its Stellar giveaway back in the day I donated some Lumens to the Tor Project and another thing I don't remember.

I'm broke

Yes, also generally I donate different project every 6 months (instead of recurring payment to one project).

I donate about what I figure I'd spend on proprietary products in a year, about $600-800. Mostly KDE and docker containers I use like piped, mailcow, nextcloud, as well as podcasts I listen to as long as they supply an ad-free feed.

this post has inspired me to look into it! i already was a part of proton's unlimited plan, but im def gonna start financially giving to other projects (and developers of said projects) that have been life changing for me, primarily linux mint and kde!

I have a recurrent donation to the development of Lemmy, set up on Liberapay.

Yes, I donate $1-5 monthly to many devs.

I donated to libre office recently and I want to start donating to Wikipedia yearly now that I am settled in my first job

not every one but the ones i particularly find useful (i monthly donate to thunderbird and firefox) or through github sponsors

No, but I don't have a credit card, so I can't

I donated to Linux Mint once, I think it’s time to make another donation.

This time, I think I’ll donate to one of the emulator developers. I’ll have to take a look and see which platform is currently receiving updates pretty regularly. I’m learning towards ryujinx as that’s the main switch emulator I use. But I’m also considering pcsx2 as I really love that system.

I wish I could 😢

Not directly per se. I donate to Wikipedia, EFF, and the ACLU. I guess Wikipedia is FOSS?

Not yet, but I will when I get a job. I want to give back to the community, but I can't afford it right now.
