Comment on Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects.

Same. I’ve been thinking about who to donate to this year, and it looks like they’re making the cut. I’ll probably also throw some money at my Lemmy instance and a handful of projects I use, including Tor, because apparently they got caught in the dragnet too.

Well donating is good it’s not going to replace the government funding.

Which other projects caught your attention? I was going to donate to Graphene, EFF and some TOR operators

  Far more than I can reasonably support:
  
  self hosted things I use - caddy, the document foundation, Jellyfin, Forgejo, etc
  
  Android apps - F-Droid, NewPipe, Signal, RethinkDNS, etc
  
  desktop apps - flatpak, For, Godot, etc
  
  infrastructure stuff - let’s encrypt, openssh, Linux distros (mine doesn’t accept donations unfortunately), etc
  
  But the short list for now is:
  
  Let’s Encrypt
  
  Signal
  
  F-Droid
  
  And I’ll probably run a Tor relay or something as well.

    If only there was a decentralised tracker which would track project funding and give us metrics like which project is dangerously close to shutting down

    Man, ReThink is such a lifesaver. It’s so good people at Graphene recommend it. I might give Qubes some bucks too, they are awesome
