They are either stupid or greedy. Because either they aren't able to budget or they're trying to take advantage of people leaving the recurring payments running until it ends up being more than they would have given.

>If a business only saw revenue once or twice a year — say, in the form of $300,000 cheques — it would need to be very careful with expenses, for fear of one of those cheques disappearing.
>Financial planning that is based on big, irregular revenue sources is bound to fail sooner or later.
Stupid because they are comparing donations of hundreds of dollars from hundreds of individual donors with two $300,000 donations. There is a very clear difference between those two situations.
And a subscription donation model isn't safe either. It will make the budgeting process easier, but one controversial decision could still wipe out a large portion of the donations.
>Second, if your monthly donation is negligible, you probably won’t worry too much about whether you keep your donation going or not.
Greedy because they are hoping people will forget about the recurring donation and not realize they've given more than they meant to.

That's a long way of saying:
>We want steady income for we can be less conservative about our spending
They want a credit card for they can spend big but know they are bringing in enough to pay the minimum monthly payments. They really need to start blowing money on more black girls code in africa intitives.

Why would I donate to a corporate project lol? Is Red Hat fucking with us? Gnome and gtk people ruined linux desktop and now they have the gall to ask for more money? Disgusting/

>>105832479
I would if they fixed the fucking fractional scaling issue jesus christ

>>105831002 (OP)
bunch of ungrateful greedy faggots

Why would anyone donate to foss or even charities. Retarded

>>105832785
By giving money to Gnome they're making a statement on pedophile rights without having to come out and say they support pedophile rights.

>>105832800
>Give us money each month forever
No thank you. The money in my wallet works perfectly where it is.

>>105832785
Because I'm white and not poor. Not that I condone donating money to the footfags.

>>105832814
If you're white you should be smart enough to know that money you worked for in your pocket is better than throwing it away for no reason

is this for tax reasons?

>donate less
What they are saying is donate via a subscription service so you are less likely to cancel, and more likely to give them more.

>>105831002 (OP)
>please we need money for lawyers

That's what you get for abusing minors. Everyone using/supporting GNOME is a pedo enabler (likely a tranny as well).

this isn't news, bank kikes love predictable income streams as opposed to lump sums even if the latter is a bit more for a given period. It's less security. This is why everything is a subscription now

>>105831002 (OP)
Fine, I'll donate KDE project, Debian and ThunderBIRB instead

>>105831002 (OP)
every single company that releases software or even sells a physical product gets its money in lump sums

Ever since flatpak was added to Gnome they require constant bandwidth costs instead of just of writing one USB image to a stick and having it work for years.

/g/ makes fun of updoots but Linux updoots way much more than Windows does.

I'm not willing to contribute money on something that actively want to break my openbox install.

suck in a bunch of communist jew dev's that remove all options push gayland and tranny shit, whys no one donating anymore? oy vey give us more money goyim we need it to genocide gaza

I'll donate specifically so they can actively break that anon's openbox install

>>105840077
then donate to arch linux

>>105838561
kek

>>105831188
Seems like the best solution. They want a reliable revenue stream. By contributing 0 dollars every day, you will not impact their cash flow either positively or negatively, thus helping their revenue stream become more predictable.

>>105831002 (OP)
I'm not giving those pedophiles a red cent unless they make pedophilla a stated part of their mission in some way.

>>105841597
they already actively develop and contribute to a pedophile operating system, what else do you want?

>>105831002 (OP)
This is so retarded. Just take all the money that's donated and dole it out according to a roling averge. This is literally the point of setting up a nonprofit is GF just now figuring this out and instead of doing the thing they should have been doing for decades they are telling people to donate less or donate using subscriptions? LMAO

>>105841620
Contrary to popular belief Gnome and Gnome Foundation don't contribute to linux at all. Only to a minimally used desktop. You can think of desktop as the literal dashboard of your car. They basically customize that. While the design and function of the car. (shape, engine etc)

>>105841597
where do you think you're going?

I understand this I used to get my student loan quarterly and blow it all after 1 month getting a monthly salary is much better for retards that don't know how to manage money like FOSSfags

>>105841695
It's a simple fact that pedophiles at least culturally have been the bell weather for all great technological change. Even in the cases they didn't invent the technology themselves, if something is a superior mode of communication pedophiles will be there. Eventually sites forget their roots as normalfags appear. 4chan, YouTube, Reddit all of them had a majority pedophile userbase at some point in their history.

>>105841741
>if something is a superior mode of communication pedophiles will be there
You make it sound like every pedo is a 190 IQ genius. Most of them are diaper wearing retards who can't tell a 40 year old from an 8 year old.

>>105841741
one of reddit's founders used to brag on twitter about how much he enjoyed moderating the then jailbait subreddit. not to mention moot and lolicon

>>105841760
The vast majority of pedophiles are around 140IQ. You are talking about child molesters. There is a reason "the elites" are also majority pedophiles.

Define "Posting, requesting or advertising" tranny janny

>>105831002 (OP)
use case?

>>105841796
>"the elites" are also majority pedophiles.
The elites are child predators because they're above the law and that makes it a power move. They abuse children worse than anyone else.
You also make it sound like these elites are smart, when most of them are too stupid to use their fucking twitter account without drawing anger from their constituents.

>>105841833
Total horseshit. The elites contribute more to society than anyone. 99% of their efforts are on improving society 1% on cunny and bribes. And they don't abuse any children. They love them with their full heart!

>>105841838
>99% of their efforts are on improving society

kek now you're just trolling

>>105841847
Never have I seen a mind so poisioned by jewish subversion.
Love is hate
Hate is love
Effort is rape
Rape is diversity

What they're really hoping for is that you set and forget.
$10/month for 2 years becomes $240, over 5 years it becomes $600.

>>105841932
>passing gigantic bills without even boterhing to read them
That is correct, if you pass bills without bothering to read them then you do in fact not love your country. If the bill is too big to read, you vote no on it and make them propose a smaller, less fucked bill.

>>105841932
Have you? Because the people who's job it is to read sure as fuck haven't.

>>105831002 (OP)
Say less

>>105841969
>the people who's job it is to read sure as fuck haven't
If it's their job to read it then why aren't they getting fired? Sounds like they're doing everything the American people wanted them to.

>If it's their job to read it then why aren't they getting fired? Sounds like they're doing everything the American people wanted them to.

BINGO!

>>105841995
It's all so tiresome.
Those goys boast about how smart and above-it-all they are, by pointing out that politicians don't read the bills they sign, but never fail to stop right before it gets juicy. Who is writing the bills? Ohhh... lets not think about that, we don't want to be antisemitic!
Even the ohh-soo-darring students protesting against genocide in Gaza, will NEVER mention that they are occupied and that jews rule them, while the police beats them to a pulp and deports their friends.
Because mentioning, what is known by everyone and right in front of your face, is too much for those rebels.
The goy knows which line not to cross.

I can't take anyone serious who doesn't openly say: "Yes, the jews rule the USA".

Didn't these idiots hire a Shaman with these donation funds?
Are they not user hostile and need to be strong armed to do the role they so desperately want to be which is the main desktop that everyone uses?
Use case for funding the biggest burden on linux desktop?

>>105842067
Almost as if representative democracy is bad, while an absolute democracy is a ruse full of piggy-back bills!

Oh wait!
Saying that democracy is bad and that it has to be abandoned, wasn't your intention!
Your intention was to show how super smart you are by realizing that politicians are scum. And the only solution you allow to be proposed is to replace that scum with scum of different color.

>>105842133
Is everything okay at home?

>>105831002 (OP)
If I could donate less to Gnome, I absolutely would.
But sadly, Gnome doesn't allow for negative contributions.

>>105842291
>Gnome doesn't allow for negative contributions.

You have to be a witchdoctor or some shit for that.

Gnome is the worst desktop in the year of our Lord 2025. Made by a bunch of trannies and phone oriented. pic related. Start menu is just windows 8, impossibly bad.
But KDE is made by trannies too.

mods and jannies on this site are embarrassing.

>>105837970
Which makes payment always unenforceable resulting in it always being done for free.

>>105842357
The workflow is pretty amazing. You're supposed to basically only use the super key for navigation plus window snapping. I tried KDE but it isn't that simple and just werks.

On the other hand they removed minimize/maxmimze buttons and expect you to use gestures, because they are trannies. They also have no interest in attempting feature parity with os x's desktop.
