It probably evens out to ~$20 usd/month between recurring donations and one time random donations to the internet archive, wikipedia and some specific open source contributors. Gaming for me is usually 1-2 new games a year so likely similar in cost.
I donate $5/month to lemmy, and am considering doing more for the other important projects out there.
The open source community is one of the most important anchors in our modern society, not only do we as every day people benefit, but communities like npm, gradle, pip, etc all benefit the financial system greatly. We do not do enough.
