That depends, how much do you make each year? If that question seems out of line, effectively that's the question you're asking Github.

I make about €120,000/year.

This is the part where I can take a page out of your book and laugh at the paltry sum of your donations in comparison to what you earn..

Or..

I can say "thank you for your supporting open source" and skip all the stuff about acting like a sanctimonious jerk on HN for magic points.

Right now, you're being that guy in a lot of these comments.

It seems like you are pretty angry at me trying to get the notion across that this is good, but they could do better. That’s okay, I can deal with that.

But I want to make one thing clear: I’m not doing this for HN karma. I haven’t commented on here in years, and this article prompted a reaction. Trying to somehow shoehorn that into "you’re only doing this for points” is invalidating that in a way that I find troubling, because, really, how can I prove you wrong? I might just have an opinion on something and wanted to engage with a community about it, or I might not. Only I can tell (and you, apparently).

EDIT: Correction. I submitted two comments 2 months ago that I forgot about, the comments before that are from 2019.

They donate $1 in $60

Microsoft revenue is $160B. Have they donated $2.6 billion to open source this year?
