It would be a mistake to make the perfect the enemy of the better. I won't
say that Patreon is good, but there currently isn't any better alternative
for making it easy for people to give me monthly donations without entrusting
me with their credit card information.
If a similar service without JavaScript requirements becomes available, then
I will switch over. But until then, temporarily and conditionally accepting
an unacceptable circumstance for the purpose of advancing forward is better
than insisting on absolute purity and getting nowhere as a result.
Or put another way: I am asking you to make a personal sacrifice in the hopes
that this will help improve something about our sitution (in this case, libre
games) in the future. That sacrifice is some of your liberty, because Patreon
requires proprietary JavaScript code embedded onto a Web page. If this is too
big of a sacrifice for you, I fully understand. In that case, I hope you will
consider sending Bitcoin to my public Bitcoin address
(bitcoin:1Ko772jMW2ZDXaPT4Pi9VYi8612eSXCxfU). However, please also appreciate
that one-time donations such as this are not easy to sustain and cannot
properly replace my day job, for example.
Other than replacing Patreon, one thing that you could do if you are familiar
with JavaScript (I am not) is develop replacement scripts for Patreon. You
could probably use Greasemonkey for this.
