Users will stop brown-nosing developers with ‘appreciation’ posts and begin regularly donating to projects instead

In addition, users will stop making “I’ve donated $X to this project!” posts on Reddit for karma. Just donate and STFU. I donate to hospitals yearly but you don’t see me going onto their Facebook page to tell everybody how much I donated.

Ah, I have no idea what that is. I thought OP meant building stuff directly from Github (e.g. Ungoogled Chromium). Thanks for the clarification! :)

I don’t know enough about code to verify things myself. And I assume this applies for a lot of us here. So I just pray that nothing’s fucked in the distribution chain.
