Why do we ask for donations so often? Because it’s important! As KDE becomes more successful and an increasing number of people use our software, our costs grow as well: Web and server hostin…

    So, asking you to VOLUNTARILY donate IF YOU WANT to with a pop-up you can simply ignore and/or disable is advertising?

    You’re so sad, dude.

      Yes. It is literally impossible for an organization asking for money not to be an ad.

      And yes, showing me a single ad once means I never give them money again. I am not OK with ads.

        Don’t use KDE then🤷‍♂️

        Those assholes! They should make an OS for free!!! How dare they ask for support?!?!

        No one forces you to support them, if it’s so annoying just disable it. I wonder if makes you happy work for someone for free… Hope it will happen to you so you’ll understand how bad it is :)

        That’s an interesting logic. You do realise that at least 50% of the groceries in your local store are likely to have been advertised somewhere. Guess you should stop buying groceries too…
