OpenSource softwares needs funds and it's simple:
- You can't help or you don't want to help? No problem you can still use the software for free
- You can help? help :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

If developers put a simple banner in software for donate campaign, what do is cost to you? Nothing

Especially if banner is not blocking and not visible when you start to use software

But.. :ablobcatknitsweats:
github.com/xTibor/kra-adblock

I can't understand why
Seeing this make me feel 🤮

@davidrevoy @grum999 what if you already support them or just unable to? You don't seem to be able to dismiss it, so plugin is the only way. It's an eyesore, too.

@hj @grum999 Mmm 🤔 . Ok, fair point.

I guess a plugin like that is ok as long as the message was sent in the first place and then it let the users decide what to make about it. Maybe offering a little 'close' button could be ok too.

I was probably mostly incomfortable about the symbol: removing this part of dev asking for support.

@davidrevoy @hj Source code is open and by default anybody can fork Krita and remove unwanted things, so what happened here is not forbidden but I just feel really sad to see that instead of contributing to help to improve Krita, some people contribute just to help users to remove dev support

No dev support, no fund = no software

If Krita stop due to a lack of fund, then, users will be happy: they won't have any more banner :blobcatgooglytrash:

@grum999 @davidrevoy don't jump to conclusions, it could have been made by people who already contribute but anonymously or in a way that krita doesn't track. IMO you're overreacting - it's a plugin that users have to install manually, it's not like it's a virus that automatically injects into every krita installation it can find just to do this. If some distro or someone bundles it in by default - that's a different question.

Remember than not everyone can contribute financially, not everyone can contribute in a meaningful way at all. Banner serves two purposes - deliver a message and be a link/reference for contibution/donation page. Once message is delivered some people might prefer to not see it again and I see nothing wrong with that.

>If Krita stop due to a lack of fund, then, users will be happy: they won't have any more banner
quite on the contrary, the banner will remain forever but will be useless, necessitating the existence of plugin for those still using in this apocalyptic scenario.

@hj @davidrevoy Yes I probably over reacting and yes it's just a plugin...

But it's just not possible for me to understand and I'll probably never understand

So just enjoy your day and forgot me and my point of view about this
