thanks for this suggestion. like one-time-use cards? nice. this is new to me. i will ask my bank if they offer this service.

guess i can just use my credit card details. i trust the devs more than paypal. hahahahaha. i mean, they have done so much good already.

i was thinking of donating to the projects i use a lot - inkscape and kdenlive. thanks for suggesting Monero, which was also suggested by another user. unfortunately, i dont have cryptocurrency. maybe i will just use cc for these donations.

thanks for suggesting Monero, however i dont use cryptocurrency because we are still very cash dependent where im from.

Have considered this but i have not yet started looking up anonymous ways to donate. Suggestions where i could start - eg how to anonymize credit card information online? If not anonymize, minimize personal info at least?

last i used it, it became a slow, resource-hogging, ad-riddled, bloated mess.

i first considered this when maps.me went to shreds. for a while, i used both organic maps and osmand for my cycling trips. the cleaner interface of organic maps won me over. my main gripe at that time was the absence of a route import function. the dev team added that recently. now, i can import both kml and gpx formats.
now, if there is a way to save the in-app planned routes, that would be a huge help.

my first foray with linux was Xubuntu. transferred to MX Linux since but stayed with xfce. looking into having a go with xfce Debian. so satisfied with this DE, am not even tempted to try others.

in my country too. and whats irritating is that most businesses and government services use it too . instead of, you know, improving their websites?

for a moment there i thought you were referring to the Karen population of northern Thailand. great post, this is indeed an unpopular opinion.

i sort of get them, actually. as a nontech person who shifted to Linux out of necessity, i just wanted it to work.
i dont have to imagine not knowing what a kernel module because i still dont, despite using it for years.
