I gave 5 euros to Qbittorent
I come from a low-income country. Europeans can afford to give much more.
Last year, the CEO of Adobe earned 20 million dollars. He only travels in an armored SUV with bodyguards. He has been described as completely obsessed about money and power. If he could get away with it, he would murder open source developers.
With very limited ressources, Inkscape, Krita, Gimp, Kdenlive are doing fantastic work, offering alternatives to Adobe.
Please support open source software. You don’t have to spend fortunes. Just adopt one software.
I donate more for opensource software than I ever would’ve paid for proprietary software - and I’ll keep doing it as long as I can. Opensource could supplant proprietary software if people donated instead of giving money to shit companies like Adobe. This video (1 billion dollars for opensource)convinced me how much opensource is worth and how much more it should be getting
