I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

every little bit counts.

You bet it does: https://ncase.me/fireflies/

I should really create a list of websites too actually, but I think I'd be broke after donating to all of them.

I think thats quite unrelated as its about synchronisation not about "every bit counts". Great website though

Yep. Fascinating read, completely unrelated.

@mexicancartel @anguo I don't consider it unrelated at all: “What small-scale interaction will you make today, little firefly?”
Hence “every little bit counts.”

I see it more like the opposite. Even if you made some difference in timings it still syncs. Even if "firefly you" didn't exist, it makes no difference...
