I object to notifications in general, not just ones asking for donations. My software does not get to interrupt me.

If you get to pop up notifications on my screen asking for my money, then I get to require you not to 'deprecate' and delete every single feature I need and use on a daily basis. Get fucked

Use case for retarded questions like yours?
>>
The bigest cope of all the FOSS retards is that they free work is a pilar of modern computing and internet. While the only reason people still use they code is becuase its free. If the foss disapear over night then corpos would have to spend around 1% of their budget to do their job with the better end result.

1. Received donations per month need to be public and displayed clearly otherwise people will assume some whale (e.g. corporate sponsor) is already donating enough.
2. I only donate in crypto, no way am I using my credit card or scammy middlemen like Paypal. Bitcoin and USDT addresses should be the bare minimum provided.

I think that donations are fine.
If the software asks for it, it doesnt speak against it.
It says they would rather gain respec and advance themselves, rather than be sneaky and steal/rat you. Thats unethical.

Its like with data sharing. You should have the right to opt out. So you opt out, thats only fair.

When you opt out and they continue tracking you, that is when the law is broken.

I opted out. Of many things.

As with politics in videogames, leftists will fail to understand the differences between those two things.

a donation notification is the same thing as the annoying windows 11 notifications. they're both self serving popup ads.

If you need to be paid to maintain a hobby project you're not employed to maintain you've got the concepts of employment, payment and hobby all incorrect.

And big corporation donates millions of dollars on FOSS projects anyway because they are essentially getting paying jeet wage for non-jeet code.

They make a good program and have an option to pay and all you get is a version that has a line in the about box thanking you for the donation? Fine, I'll pay.

They interrupt my workflow with a popup begging for money? Fuck you, no.

Hope that helps clarify it.
