Just yesterday I used Jellyfin2Samsung to install Moonlight on my TV. After the installation, the app shown a popup to donate to the author ("buy me a beer"). And I figured why not? The software turned a tedious process into a one-click solution, letting me do what I wanted to do (stream games to my TV) rather than spending an evening messing with Tizen Studio. Absolutely worth a few dollars.

KDE's Plasma will popup a notification every once in a while asking for donation. When you close it, you won't hear from it again until the next fundraiser. I almost always donate as well.

If a software asks in a non-obtrusive way, ideally after I used it (either for a while or like in case of Jellyfin2Samsung after doing the one thing it's supposed to do), I don't mind at all.

I dislike apps (mostly websites) that keep asking for money, regardless of whether you already donated or not every single time you visit them.

Came here for this. In one of Nathan's blog posts he describes the notification as noticably driving the donations. Personally I haven't seen it ever myself, and what I also haven't seen is any complaints about it.

Would have been a better comparison than Wikimedia I guess, but aside that, the LibreOffice team still has a valid point that the reactions are unjustified.

In a week nobody will talk about it anymore though, so LO team, just sit it through :)

I believe Jellyfin recently made it onto the tizen app store, fwiw.
