https://50forfoss.org/ has inspired me. I'm a day late, but I'm here and trying to make up for my lack or previous donations.

First up: Debian. Turns out they are the ultimate form of #OpenSource. They want you to contribute effort, not money.

Next up: Qubes. They get 14% more money when donations come in via bitcoin. No need to make Visa/Mastercard/PayPal rich! Glad to donate using decentralized money that is pushing green energy forward.

Libreoffice accepts PayPal and credit cards. https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/

I'm happy to report that they accept donations over Tor!

Thunderbird takes the same plus Google and Apple pay, and maybe a bank transfer? Couldn't donate over a mobile browser, but it worked from my desktop (and yes, over Tor)

Situation is similar with KiCAD and FreeCAD: looks like the best option is to use a credit card using Stripe.

https://www.kicad.org/donate/

It worked okay for KiCAD but said the card was declined for FreeCAD. I guess I don't have permission from Stripe or Visa or my financial institution to donate "my" money to FreeCAD. 🤷‍♂️

I guess I'll try again next month.

Anyway, that's the report for this month.
