The FOSS community is very fragile.

First and foremost, this is because many FOSS developers have a mental block about making money from their projects.

Another group of FOSS developers either fears cryptocurrencies or despises them for religious/political reasons.

As a result, we have great FOSS that survives on a bowl of rice (without butter - that's for the bourgeoisie) and a slice of 3 days old bread.

In my lifetime, I've paid more for FOSS than some people have paid for proprietary apps. I'm not complaining. I'm proud of it.

But, it's not always easy… I have to go to GitHub, open an issue, and directly ask them to add a Monero and/or Bitcoin wallet - and offer to make the first donation myself…

And how pleased I was (and at the same time surprised) to see that some of the FOSS developers whose work I use were happy to receive a ~200 USD donation via XMR!

So, if you're a FOSS developer for Linux/Android, please don't make me waste my time asking you to accept a donation from me!

First things first, publish your FOSS on @Zapstore and be sure to add your Monero wallet address to the README - trust me, people will donate to you!

A colorful meme that sums up most of the FOSS community (unfortunately).

p.s. Thanks @Max for shilling to me ZapStore. I'll keep shilling it to others.
