Gotta support the developers!

The developers of what? Is this a project to get Linux running on iPhones?

This is the tally of how much I had donated to the developers of mobile Linux distros and apps.

Ohhhh I get it now. Got any favorite devs/distros/apps to shoutout?

I also need my next phone to be a Linux Phone, so I'm into this strategy.

Nice, I'm already donating to some of those but there's plenty I've never even heard of. Thanks!

What is this? How do I donate?

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 4 points 19 hours ago

It’s my custom amount in the app counter.
