"Every developer has a 'Buy Me a Coffee' link. I already have plenty of coffee—so 100% of sponsorships for my open-source projects go directly toward my daughter's college & future fund."
Building free, open-source Linux, Wayland, and systems software across @UberMetroid, Studio 2201 (@studio2201), and IdleScreen (@idlescreen) is a labor of love. If any of my projects make your desktop faster, your pipelines safer, or your servers cleaner, skip buying me a cup of coffee and invest a few dollars in my daughter's future instead.
