A lot of people here have such a bizarre stance.
People have put work into this, for free. And the moment they ask for support, you immediately bring the pitchforks out, over a singular pop-up you can permanently disable? That’s just plain disrespectful, at the very least
The one change I would make would be adding a “never” button to the notification so you don’t have to disable it in the settings if you don’t want it
Or actually “Don’t show again” would probably be better phrasing
Now this is much better than getting ads in your Start Menu.
I do suspect a small but vocal crowd of people will spread doom and gloom about it on social media anyway, of course.
I see they’re here already
As long as the “No Thanks” button is a one and done go-away button, I think this is a decent idea!
It’s once per year, easily dismissed, and can be permanently disabled. Seems entirely reasonable for a piece of free software that someone would use everyday
cool and good. thunderbird is also very good about this and more projects should present their donation stuff just as tastefully
Instructions unclear, blood is spinning down in the centrifuge.
FOSS in general needs better means of financial support. While the software is free and libre, developer time is not, and ultimately they gotta eat and pay bills. I hope they get positive results and don’t catch much unnecessary flak.

It’s open source. You could go in and just edit the code to show some ASCII porn if you want. Or just disable it.
