You should donate to free software you like because you like it.

We should stop using memes of a hateful and abusive douche
Just curious, who is this guy, sounds like you knew about the original picture? I’ve been curious
Why?
And I do mean that honestly, it’s not like he’s empowered by people making memes of him. He receives no benefit, there is no gain. If I used Hitler in a meme because he made a funny face, that isn’t an endorsement of his actions or beliefs, sometimes a meme is just a meme.
I know you weren’t asking me, but to chime in, it’s safer to say that the circumstances of memeing are actually way more complex than we give credit. I’d argue that it’s rarely the case that a meme is just a meme. Situations where an event or a person becomes a meme can be totally misinterpreted, reinterpreted or otherwise change from reality. Memes are used tools, many times as propaganda, and who is in a meme possibly, does have an effect. Memeing is actually a big complex part of the human experience! Especially since proliferation of the internet.
Anyway, it’s interesting to think about.
With how few pixels left of his face this has, is it really still of this douche?
Id pay taxes to support open source projects.
Those in the EU do with NLNet! (Although arguably not nearly enough)
Yeah def not enough. It’s funny how governments and companies are willing to pay overpriced proprietary software that even comes with no or horrible support, but when they use OSS they hardly contribute and sometimes even get great support via github. But sometimes that’s also the other way around. You pay for expensive license and get shitty support even if it’s OSS. Looking at you Teleport
As European, thatvis not true in my case! (I get funded by them)
Stop using this bigot’s picture to smug up a lukewarm take.
Nah, keep using it so we can point and laugh at the moron.
Eight fucking years of fascists’ jeering faces every god-damn day is more than enough, thanks very much.
They don’t always make it easy though. I’m not signing up for Patreon just to donate a one time amount.
What ways do you recommend?
I like Patreon because I trust it and it provides a subscription-like service. And having a way to communicate and engage is really nice.
But the “buy me a coffee” and the direct PayPal, I’m rarely getting any kudos.
Direct PayPal is my preference, but I know PayPal does dumb things with people’s money sometimes.
You can try librepay
This is not for everyone, but I like when they post their crypto wallet address, because then I can send them money anonymously (especially if it’s Monero), it can be a one time donation and I don’t have to create an account on some website.
I know, it’s a real pain sometimes.
Downvote cause calvin should have been used instead
Fuck Steven Crowder. He does not deserve this meme format.

WinRar is proprietary
It would be nice if I could quit making proprietary software for a living. Maybe some day I will try making some commercial libre software and will see how it goes.
