I live in Ukraine. So I donate to lots of funds like United24 and Come Back Alive Foundation. I believe it helps stop the war and the aggressor. Thousands die every day...

#92Signal, Wikipedia, I'd consider my Obsidian sync a donation. I donate to some podcasts.
Edit: Come to think of it, these are all projects that ask for money, but not often enough to be annoying. I bet I'd donate to KDE (or Gnome or NixOS) if I'd ever get a notification and it's a 1 min click-click-click experience.

#93> With the Internet rapidly undergoing its corpocene mass extinction event What? This is news to me. Also What does it even mean?
I think it's about Dead Internet.

#94https://cachyos.org/
The fastest GNU/Linux distribution available. Amazing set of patches, optimizations and specific device fixes. The community regularly finds performance regressions in the latest versions of packages and reports them upstream. Remember the NVIDIA explicit sync flickering issues? CachyOS had pushed the fixed driver before anyone else.

#95It's mostly what I use daily or a lot (except one these are not recurring; I will try to make these recurring once I am financially there again):
- https://objective-see.org/support.html (For https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu et al)
- https://www.thunderbird.net/donate (I hope none of it goes to Mozilla or Firefox. I also hope https://thundermail.com brings something than I can instead pay for, if I can or will decide to afford, instead of intermittent donations)
- https://www.borgbackup.org/support/fund.html (I would want to support https://restic.net as well as I use it so much but they never setup a way - it has been discussed :/)
- https://syncthing.net/donations
- https://github.com/Homebrew/brew#donations
- https://cryptomator.org/donate/
- https://www.patreon.com/db4s
- https://github.com/sponsors/qarmin for https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
- https://github.com/sponsors/garethgeorge for https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest
- https://keepass.info/donate.html and https://keepassium.com/donate (Mostly the latter) (I had actually moved to StrongBox which did a U-turn on FOSS and then sold to another company. At that point I came back to KeePassium. The KeepPassium author actually took a stand a went FOSS as a principle. I think this is worth noting.)
..and few more.

# The ones I support by paying for one of its services bust mostly because its FOSS app:
- http://ente.io (But sadly not for long; because I really can't stand a non-native "photos" app. I just can't! Otherwise it's a great service!)

#96https://crdroid.net/
One of the best and widely-supported custom Android ROMs. Has a few features on top of Lineage OS and even GPay works out of the box on a rooted Pixel phone.

#97I try to make sure that I donate to any dependency that I might want to make an issue for or get support on. It feels rude to ask for help without contributing anything and I like to avoid that feeling.

#98Kagi - in the sense that i paid for a year of membership and only did about three searches. I hear great things, i love the idea behind it, a 65 year habit is hard to break. I'll be back soon.
Kagi should reach 50K users in about ten days.

#99Notepad++
Paint.NET
NetBSD
Re: Ask HN: What projects do you donate to?
#100It’s not a project per se, but one that I support and don’t see here yet is Public Knowledge[1]. They have a similar mission to EFF, but they do more hands-on lobbying in DC.
