How do I donate with cash?

Personally I only bought licenses for Total Commander and mIRC, which still do their job flawlessly, and I believe I donated to the Miranda IM fundraiser, so that's at least once towards free software.
My employer already pays for support of software on SUSE to <strike>Novell</strike> Micro Focus. :^)

/V/irgin here, if I ever pirate a game from a smaller dev and it's not trash I will buy it. A lot of times I just flat out buy it even if I'm not sure how well it will go with me.

However, this only applies to smaller devs. I will never give money to companies like Ubisoft

The main bulk of the software I've bought is work related. I work in tv/film editing so I've paid for a bunch of weird programmes I need to be able to do jobs. Most things I can do with free or open source software but something like playing back DCP files or encoding in ProRes on Windows is impossible to do otherwise. I used to pay monthly for Premiere Pro but now get it paid for me.

I used to pirate everything and anything until I got a job which put quite a bit of cash into my pocket compared to the minimum wage/neet life I was living before. Now a $60 game and $70 worth of new movies on blurays isn't even so much as an after thought. I still block all ads within my browser because they're annoying. Although I feel guilty for doing it to Crunchyroll. I've been seriously considering getting a year membership. No ads to block, 1080p streaming. Idk

I pay for Google G Suite for my small business because it just works. Don't have the time to fuck with maintaining my own mail server, share drive, etc. I have 5 employees so it's not like $5/user/month is going to break the bank.

Also, if a piece of software is priced low I don't mind paying for it. $20-50 one time for a solid piece of software that is well maintained is ok with me. When they want you to pay $1000 or some shit for one release that's good for a short amount of time is when I put my foot down and pirate.

I paid for office 2007 ultimate (60$ student deal, commercial use included.) Got a free upgrade to office 2010 Pro out of that and probably will never upgrade until Microsoft forces my hand.

Paid for Windows 8 because the kms activator was a piece of shit. Took the free upgrade to Windows 10. Sort of regret it, but I need it for Memelake.

I pay for wolfram alpha pro, worth every penny, it taught me more about calculus than my useless professor.

I pay for Spotify and You Need a Budget. I hate recurring fees but they're just too damn good at what they do.

I own almost all of my games library. The only thing I still pirate is a few single player EA titles since I refuse to use origin. (Then I uninstall them because EA is trash.)

>he blocks ads
Only because they're intrusive.

>he pirates stuff
I pay for video games and some music, I pirate shows because there's no convenient way to pay for them.

I've never, ever and never, ever will, donate. I've bought plenty of things because the only way to get the features I want was by monetary transaction, but if I get nothing, I will pay nothing. There's no moral objection here, just basic rationale and reasoning.

Pay if you want, don't pay if you don't want, but don't get off on thinking you're better or worse for paying.

Everythig that's on my android, because I can pirate it. Everything on my Steam as well, tons of games, but no Denuvo games, since I can't pirate them. Same goes for iOS software: I'd like to throw a few bucks, but I don't like the idea of a possible Appstore ban without being able to get a software by any other way.

A load of steam games, several apps on my phone (nova, poweramp, titanbackup and some others).
Display Fusion on pc, was using a pirated version for a while and got tired of the devs baby popping up every time saying he needs cash for food. Also it was on sale on steam.
