Here's what I'm planning so far:
Tier 1
Libreoffice
Arduino
GIMP
OpenStreetMap
Inkscape
Raspberry Pi
ZoneMinder
Piwik
Reprap
F Droid
Openscad
Xposed
Tier 2
Porteus
TWRP
Omnirom
Replicant
AdAway
AFWall
OSMand
AdBlock
IceCat Mobile
Conversations
Tier 3
Noscript
Xprivacy
Audacity
Freecad
FSF
DownThemAll
OpenVPN for Android
Obviously, the higher the tier, the more I will be donating in proportion. What will you be donating to?
Other urls found in this thread:
God tier
RMS
>GIMP
how about you donate to something that actually experiences relevant development
Where's Wikipedia, Mozilla, Linux Foundation, GNOME Foundation, senpai?
>GNOME Foundation
Fuck these SJW niggers
GNOME did nothing wrong besides misplacing a few hundred thousand dollars into women STEM social programs.
you can drop the whole android tier shit right away and FSF should be Tier 1
why you might ask
FSF is a umbrella that offers legal representation for any of the projects that offer software on your list
Why is most of this mobile shitware?
Here's something for you:
Wayland
Krita
Qemu+KVM
*BSD
OpenIndiana
Blender
Sailfish
Qt
i2p
>gnome
QEMU was the only thing on that list worth supporting.
>not supporting i2p so you can safely download your cp
Donate to ReactOS and open-source emulation devs too.
Easily the most worthy, yes.
I'd still donate to Krita though, I've been drawing with it a lot lately.
These, too.
Especially the cycle perfect emulators. In time, the emulator will serve as the documentation for the original console. Perfect emulation is archiving hardware.
>no Wikileaks, Tor Project, Freedom of the Press Foundation, The Courage Foundation
Your list is incomplete.
Various internet archiving projects might be worthy too.
Not Sup Forums archives, but the actually useful ones.
And open source hardware.
Maybe the donation would change that.
Wiki: Quite popular, not a priority
Gnome: More of a KDE man myself. (Forgot the KDE suite completely...)
Firefox: Do they even accept donations? I think I tried last year and it looked like they were alright with just the revenue from default search engines.
I'm aware of how they work, but I wanted to contribute to the software they represent before contributing to them.
Well someone's gotta support the shitware. Seriously though, it's mostly things I use. I think a secure mobile platform is the bare basic nowadays.

>Secure
>Android
Anyway, adding *BSD to the list. That's Tier 1 for sure. Checking out the rest, I know of them but never used them.
Wikileaks is fully funded by the Russian Federation.
>Donating to GIMP but not Blender
Dude Blender is one of the hidden gems of the FOSS world. People severely underestimate its capabilities. It's every bit as powerful as Maya and Max these days, and crashes a hell of a lot less too.
Let me guess, just won a lottery?
If mobile is what you care about, I've included sailfish for you. I'm not even sure if they take donations, but I'd like to see some accelerated development and adaptation.
It's a proper linux distro for mobile phones and has android app and android-in-a-window support.
Nobody except you since everyone who uses FOSS is an egotist who gives nothing back.
This is also why we have proprietary software. It shoves you down into that situation effectively at the cost of your freedom.
>everyone who uses FOSS
Nice generality, cuck.
Whoa, I totally had i2p misunderstood. So it's like a tor network? How does it work?
At birth, actually. That being said, the total amount is very much in line with what Sup Forums would spend on meme devices.
Yup, know it well. Would've got one if it was a tad bigger/more powerful.
Haven't they been take over by Razer though?
damn thats a fucking cool image
Added. I guess I'll take your word for it, never could make a single thing on it.
How's the development for it? Still active?
Very much so. I think far too many people tried it back in the 2.49 days and earlier. It was very confusing then, and the lack of n-gon support was inexcusable, but it's grown tremendously. Their team is also the leading source on reverse-engineering the FBX format right now, which would help other 3D non-autodesk 3D projects in the future as well.
>advocating charity
>on Sup Forums
> tarduino
The Chinese sell the same thing for a fraction of the price
They aren't a non profit like the raspberry pi lads
Didn't know that. But they are proponents of the open hardware thing which I think is very under represented.
Could you cite a few open hardware projects?
The biggest differences between i2p and TOR are that TOR has lots of outproxies while i2p has only a few and you're adviced to not use them. Meaning that you can't use i2p to anonymize surface net traffic.
i2p's userbase is way smaller as a result.
i2p also supports more protocols, there are fully anonymous torrent trackers and irc servers that are fairly active.
There are also various technical differences the user doesn't generally need to care about. And, it's not developed by the US military.
What do you mean with Sailfish and Razer though? I haven't heard of anything to that effect...
Hello newfriend, did you know that Sup Forums is neutral in nature and has done a number of charities before?
Blender is definitely worth donating to, it's near industry standard, with their only issue being commercial support licencing.
> FSF
> no EFF
Not even JUST blender
>OpenShot
>KdenLive
Blender is fucking powerful, but I think at this point it might be better to donate to individual open plugin projects. Can't seem to find a lot of donations for them though
>TuttleOFX
Bad bumper sticker this year, sorry.
Nvm, it's Nextbit that's been taken over by Razer. Not Jolla.
Has Blender been involved in anything in the range of hollywood?
> but I think at this point it might be better to donate to individual open plugin projects.
TFW you'll never see a full release of Cosmonaut Laundromat at this rate
What's Sup Forums's thoughts on Libre/Coreboot etc?
I think it's a serious privacy requirement, but do they even work on anything but used thinkpads?
>Has Blender been involved in anything in the range of hollywood?
So it seems.
youtube.com
I only just opened this video though, not sure what it contains just yet.
As I said, Blender's problem is not being able to provide support or marketing for large studios. You can't have your whole studio watch Rajeesh tutorials on youtube for a few weeks after adapting such software.
By the way, are you the same dude asking for wishlists on /ic/?
This goes to
Blender has been used in hollywood but not for anything production-quality. They generally use it for pre-pro stuff, animatics and the like.
That said, things like the Open Movie projects show you how powerful it is when used for that sort of stuff.
Look up Big Buck Bunny and Cosmonaut Laundromat for a couple pretty good ones.
>not for production
it's the entire workflow for a lot of things, they do use homebrew/commercial plugins/code on top of blender though.
What have they done for open hardware? nothing
if they released the Arduino board design, then it's because the people who buy Arduino care about that type of shit and they have no reason to care anyway since it's so trivial and obvious
No mention of Let's Encrypt?
Anything Bunnie is attached to, like the novena. There's really little else except people who PROMISE open hardware but then also promise shit like
>nvidia GPU
Probly some decent FPGA projects out there though.
>donating to garbage
lmfao
OpenBSD
Tor
Coreboot
CopperheadOS
I hadn't heard of anything specific or big-name in that case. I usually hear of it being used for more minor tasks. Cool to know a few people have realized its power then. I personally use it all the time. I found it more stable and quicker to use than Maya which is what they had us use in school for the stuff.
>LetsEncrypt
>keeping CAs alive for another generation of failure
I am not a fan, even though it's a good project in the current DNS infrastructure that infrastructure is bad to the core.
>Self Signed Cert
>WARNING THIS SERVER IS MISCONFIGURED BUY/GENERATE A CERT OR DONT GET ENCRYPTION AT ALL
>>Self Signed Cert
>>WARNING THIS SERVER IS MISCONFIGURED BUY/GENERATE A CERT OR DONT GET ENCRYPTION AT ALL
Things that never happened.
That's the legit warning they give (almost) word for word.
>Add exception
They basically steer you away from excepting anything. Lets encrypt is fine BUT firefox does hate on self signed certs for no good reason.
Nope, only ever visit /ic/ if I'm looking for design inspirations.
Also, open firmware is no substitute to open hardware. I reckon if the latter was open, the former would be easy to develop. Sadly, there's no open hardware that isn't some silly expensive niche thing.
We need free hardware
Vulkan stuff for gaymes
Unified and polished linux os would be nice, but the project doesn't even exist at the moment
It's called systemd, it will be great and terrible.
