Hi there,
I fell guilt for not being able to donate anything, I never accepted the philosophy that motivates other desktop environments developers, why do they want to create a desktop the forces the user into buying a new computer every couple of years? are they even aware that they're taking it away from the hands of the poor? those who can't afford a latest generation computer. they are following Google's martial design crap, creating a GUI that you will never be able to use or understand unless you are experienced with android! teaching people's brains to follow pictures not words, impacting the society in a very harmful way.

please let me talk about the society that I live in, I live in Egypt, do you know what happened after people started following each others like a Herd buying "smart phones"? porn became a
phenomenon! in an unbelievable way each and every one started browsing, sharing, and using porn on a daily basis because the "ease of access" that smart phones provides, I saw people who are over 60 years old who never knew the existence of "porn" become daily visitors of pornhub, and of course, other porn-related stuff are now spreading, divorces, home-violence :(

again, I'm sorry that I can't donate, but I'm motivated to change our modern world, and I see technology and free-as-in-freedom software to be the way to go; all I'm waiting for is to finish my finals :)

respectfully

I think the same as you do. PayPal / BitCoin is better option.
