minus-squareTobias Frisch@wehavecookies.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months ago@wiki_me My point is that the funding is optional and you can track all of Purism’s efforts via their Gitlab instance. I agree that you don’t have fine-tuned control on what they should focus on. But I’m also not convinced users need to have this control. Obviously it’s more transparent when you donate to individual developers manually instead of going through a company. I don’t disagree with that. But in my terms it’s still an improvement.
