Don't mind donating to Linux & projects - would LIKE to - but don't trust mystery web sites (or things like PayPal and friends). Long back, maybe when Musk was still in PayPal, I started to set up an account. Halfway through I changed my mind and canceled out - nothing saved. Yet, a few days later, I was getting mails saying there were problems, weird charges, on my non- existent PP account - please contact and provide full acct number/creds !!! THAT'S how closely the evil people were watching even years ago. Likely 'insiders'.
