The problem with the money problem is the money part. As much as I actually do want to donate to ALL the open source platforms I use, I don't have enough to do that equitably between platforms and even cover processing costs of the payment. 25 services split $100? Why bother?

A foundation with an endowment is actually the solution. The Open Source Foundation (or someone like them) needs to become a neutral arbiter and incubator.

But also - I would, and can, provide labor. I would love to give anything FOSS 20-30 hours a week of my time. But doing what? Should I get a part time job to support 25 FOSS services? Take Fivr gigs and donate it all? Or can I just directly hustle a part time work week somehow?

Rural poor checking in.

I've lived in a camper, and then in the back of a convenience store my patents ran. Eventually upgraded to a doublewide. But I went to a rural school with like 40 kids that were all also poor. One kid and his family were miners living in a series of vans upon blocks by the mine. My best friend and his family lived in a half used rundown motel, the other half too broken down to bother living in. The richest kid was a rancher's family that lived in a barndominium.

So every family on TV was rich to me, but it was TV, so I figured it was all fantasy land anyway. Star Trek wasnt real, either. I had seen a "normal" school before 3rd grade, but by high school and college, people that thought Nickelodeon (which I didn't see until college anyway) shows were relatable at all just seemed like space aliens to me. I was likely more the space alien to them.

Sorry if it seemed smug at all. The "My my" was more being happy that the Fdroid app repo is pulling it's weight and a valuable resource that fascists seem to over look.

I do like this a lot.

Since you sort of need to be there with the hat, it makes me wonder of you might get more response and/or geographic spread if you has some sort of leave behind. A sticker, or a card that you can slot in places.

I do think that leaving it as the gpg key is better, not a QR code. It helps ID this for nerds like you and me. I would never scan a wild QR.

My, my. Look at all the open source, privacy focused period trackers in the Fdroid store.

When they're born, they're called foal slippers.

But just in general, horse hooves are amazing and so weird. It's literally if your middle finger was half your leg, and the nail was a huge wraparound thing. Then plus you grew extra keratin on your fingertip like a mega callus from birth. Because why not?
