Or give it to me
▶ No.1042031
Give to projects you use or would like to see improved. Just do a little research, you don't wanna give a dev money only to later find out they're assholes who fuck up their products fuck you emby
You could also donate to the FSF

My suggestions is to donate to Haiku, because BeOS was awesome.

Or, if you don't want that, go with ReactOS like another anon said.
Don't donate to FSF or any organization too political. Favor those who put technical aspects above everything else.

From https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/patrick-next-slackware-and-moving-forward-with-kde-plasma5/
" the Slackware Store (an entity independent of Slackware with which he has a business arrangement involving a percentage of sales profit and medical insurance) has not been paying him any money for the last two years and that most likely all the PayPal donations through the Store have gone into the pockets of the Store owners. Read that thread if you have not done so yet.
Basically Pat is broke."

If you decide to support a project do some research about the devs first. I.e. what do they spend their money on? Paying developers, paying server bills, or financing SJW causes. It's one thing what the people running those projects do with their own money, but when they use money meant for the project for appeasing trannies and landwhales, that's where the line needs to be drawn.

>Donate FSF and/or GNU and/or GuixSD.
Don't donate to Guix, the developers are cucks who will use the money to pay the bills and squander what is left on Outreachery diversity hires.
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2018/gnu-guix-receives-donation-from-the-handshake-project/
If you want to help Guix then either contribute work or pay someone who will contribute work, but don't pay Guix directly.

I'd donate to the PowerPC Laptop guys
https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/
been following that project for the last few years and they've always been upfront with their donors and contributors. Only thing holding them back is their shoestring budget. They're a not-for-profit company only out to design the laptop in a free/open source, usable (not like Novena, actually usable) and easily manufacturable way

Go on fiverr and get one of those pajeets to get code us a clone of 8chan and open source it. Make a script that will install it one any web host with CentOS and CPanel installed. Make a script to install it on Ubuntu and Debian since most Linux installs are Debian based operation systems. Then we can make infinite chan mirrors instead of putting all or our eggs in one basket.
