Fantastic, I did the same thing at work. Donating a little to the FOSS projects we used is a pittance compared to overall development costs.

Sadly many projects don’t take donations or aren’t able to provide a proper receipt for a donation.

It’s easiest to convince corporate payment, if it’s called professional or enterprise subscription or something like that.

How much is that in hot dogs and football fields?

Somewhat, but it’s not on the same level. At a church generations and families come together and are in contact for many years, if not whole lives. A hobby group doesn’t run that deep.

For a hobby group you might have to drop out, if you don’t have the money to participate anymore.

It’s okay to care more about people you actually know in person.

You can have an oppressive communist regime

History has shown so far, that that’s the only version available. Many in Europe have experienced this and don’t want it back.

He materialist approach of Marxism misses far too much of what motivates humans to be viable.

Lord of the Weed is worth checking out.

Spreadsheets are actually running the world.
