    So, asking you to VOLUNTARILY donate IF YOU WANT to with a pop-up you can simply ignore and/or disable is advertising? I don’t understand… I mean, they give you a product for free, full of good features and updated regularly, and the moment they ask you to donate, again, IF YOU WANT to, it’s considered 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…
