If you had/have enough disposable income, what would drive you to donate to opensource software? (programming.dev)

Scenario: you're using opensource software and you aren't donating yet, however you have enough money left over every month to do so. Something(s) is holding you back from donating. Think about what that is and what would have to change for you to change that.

Its more about having your bills paid and savings funded. The key is either increasing income or decreasing expenses.

Not everyone has it, but since I do I make sure to contribute to projects that I use the most.

When do you determine when your savings are funded?

[–] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

Having an emergency fund for a few months of expenses at the minimum.
