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

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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.

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

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

Well donating is good it's not going to replace the government funding.
