For me I used to donate to Mozilla about £10 a month but have since stopped.

    KDE is one of the few I always have in my list. No matter the OS I use, I always end up using KDE and highly prefer it over anything else I’ve tried. So it’s my way to contribute to not hate the time spent at my computer in the near future.

    Local food bank is a good one around where I am located

    Edit: didn’t notice the community

    Privacy wise I donated to Signal for a bit. Hope to donate to more things eventually

      I’m in the same boat, biggest donation by far is to my local county charity, with a focus on food security and childhood development. Other than that I donate to Lemmy and Bitwarden (I kinda earmark that as a donation in my mind?).

    Not entirely privacy related but: The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Wikipedia, Doctors Without Borders, The National Park Service, RAINN, and Red Cross

    There’s a bunch of other little ones through Humble Bundle, but there are too many to remember.

    OpenStreetMap and Internet Archive because they are operating with a small budget (as opposed to Wikipedia).

    Time or money?

    Time to openstreetmap, i2p, Wikipedia and others. Money to KDE, UN, Amnesty, and others.

    The Internet Archive. EFF. Wikimedia. My local Fediverse instance. Pretty much every F/OSS software project I use more than once a day at least once a year that happens to accept funding.

    Donated $20 to GrapheneOS when I first installed it. $5/mo to Signal. Local charities in my hometown.

    EFF, Signal, Wikimedia, and ACLU.

    IRL, local foodbanks, MSF, school, and environmental causes. My wife and in-laws, we pretty much just gift each other donations to charities we each like for holidays and birthdays. Other than an odd book here and there, none of us want more stuff to clutter and toss into landfills.

    So far our oldest kid is heading the same way. Lectured us when our 20-yo fridge leaked and we had to get a new one. Asked why we couldn’t just fix it and keep using it :-)

      Because a 20 year old fridge is much less efficient than a modern one. A fridge with A+++ rating is now a B or so in Europe. Get a new fridge. It’s better for the environment.

        We did. Made sure it had a good EnergyStar rating. Not putting major appliance purchase decisions in the hands of a kid :-)

    RedoxOS, an open source operating system written in Rust that aims to improve correctness and safety by picking up innovations made by experimental operating systems over the years while not reinventing the wheel and trying to be source compatible with Linux.

    QubesOS, the most secure open source operating system making it easy to use security by virtualisation, splitting your activities, peripherals, drivers into different virtual machines.

    I paid $50 to Wikipedia recently. Will attempt to donate to Void and Slackware and opensource projects like Jellyfin. Plenty of places to donate
