    Yeah, this is the way to do it. The best way would be a system where I can donate a set amount each month, and have it distributed to xyz, and all of xyz’s dependencies. The dumbest part is I can’t set an annual donation to anything except via patreon. I have to set myself reminders and manually donate yearly to every single project, individually.

    Until that set and forget “minimize bank fees” system exists, the next best thing is each of us allocating recurring funds to the shit we care about. Fuck every company built on unsustainable expansion and growth. All they need to do is achieve and maintain x amount of supporters, at y $ per month, with z amount of attrition… everything extra is a bonus.
