Do you donate to FOSS projects?

Hello.

Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

Yep, monthly towards Mozilla and Wireguard.

Not a big anti Mozilla guy but have you seen their earnings? You could probably put the Mozilla donations to better use elsewhere imo

Mozilla needs to stay alive no matter what. If they go away there is only Google browsers left.
