Editing to add alt text here, as Lemmy still does not support alt text in image posts: A fake screenshot of the FreeBSD Foundation donation page showing Apple, Inc. under the $5-$24 donation category. The screenshot is next to a poorly drawn four-panel comic.

Panel One: Title: “Apple HQ.” Two people sit at a large wooden table. Person one: “We used BSD code, now it’s time to contribute back.” Person two: "Hold on, it’s BSD licensed, right? I have an idea.

Panel Two: Title: “FreeBSD donation pipeline” A zoomed in view of a map with a large green line connecting the USA to Europe.

Panel Three: Three people, surrounded in a cloud of filth, scramble beneath the end of a large green pipe, reaching towards it with their wiggly stick-figure arms. One person is leaping in from out of frame. The people have bags under their eyes, many missing teeth, and are wearing sack-like clothing crudely mended with patches of random fabrics.

Panel Four: The pale face of one of the three people beneath the end of the large green pipe, mouth open revealing their jagged yellow teeth as they attempt to catch a trickle of liquid seeping from the end of the pipe. The liquid is captioned: “$24.”

      I’m aware, simply from the standpoint that a donation that small probably wouldn’t be considered worth the company’s time. Also Chevron being there is another giveaway.
