Have I ever got a bigger paycheck I'd donate to them without hesitation. It's because of them (and formerly Cyanogenmod) I got to have my Xperia Z1 for 7+ years, and now this Xperia 1ii for 4 years, each of them were/are doing great because of it. Hope they keep going strong.

I'm still of the opinion that an Xperia Z1 Compact running LineageOS handily outcompetes any cycling computer that Germin or Wahoo has shipped in the past 10 years.

To quote from somewhere else: Just to emphasize this for anyone else who is reading this: Please do not feel obligated to donate. Yes, it is greatly appreciated, since it keeps the lights on a little while longer and allows us to provide builds and host continued development. However, we regard donations as having no strings attached, and the same applies for using the builds that we provide. We will be fine, at the very least for a while. Please think of yourself first.

  "Please think of yourself first." = \s ? Anyway ... I'd totally encourage everybody to donate to opensource projects and/or its maintainers. Whatever the effect may be, but I think that's just simply appropriate.

    Yes, donations are cool, without them there probably wouldn't be as many build servers (among other things). However, if donating means that you have to consider your current paycheck size, then it might be more appropriate to put that idea on the back-burner for a while. If you don't have to make that consideration and/or you feel strongly obligated to donate, then by all means, please do so.

      tim, this is hackernews, everybody here makes six digits! jokes aside - when donating one should of course consider one's paycheck size. you don't have much, give a little; you have more, give a lot.
