Let's talk about the #OpenSource software you're happy to *pay* for.

A one time "pay what you want" payment counts (such as for @thunderbird or @elementary). Recurring donations count too (Paypal/Patreon), and so do things like buying a "Pro" version.

MY ANSWER: Two terrific apps spring to mind which I've continued to use constantly.
1) Standard Notes
2) Aptik (#Linux backup software).

How about you?

#FOSS

@killyourfm I've donated to my instance admin and also to several mobile Linux related projects:

box86 - x86 on ARM emulator

tow-boot - bootloader for #PinePhone and #PinePhonePro

postmarketOS - mobile Linux distro

Also some others:

UVTools - resin printer file format converter (beats paying subscription fees for a shitty proprietary slicer)

hueplusplus - Philips Hue library I use in #OpenRGB

@CalcProgrammer1 @killyourfm box86 accepts donations? I have to take a look!
Same for TowBoot 😁

@pak0st @killyourfm Yeah through GitHub Sponsors. I sponsored devs of those projects monthly.

@CalcProgrammer1 @killyourfm that explains it. I haven't used GitHub Sponsors yet 👍
