I contribute 2% of my annual salary (after taxes) to the software I use personally, $360 of which goes to the continued development of Lemmy. The splits are uneven and depend, primarily, on how much I feel the project needs money. For example: I participated in Bonfire’s Indiegogo campaign, but I have only ever given Mastodon, like, $5 once.
Professionally, I make sure my company makes donations to the FOSS projects we use in production. It’s less than they deserve but more than I can afford out of pocket.
If you put all those contributions together, they wouldn’t sniff even $10k annually. But then again, my company and I don’t have nine figure revenues.
Remind me, how much have you contributed?

Ah dang I give 3% of my annual salary why are you giving so little? Feels low.
Perfect response lol.
That’s great! Can you figure out what percentage of annual earnings CA is contributing? The answer might surprise you!
