In principle, asking for donations for free software is fine.
However, we can't promote Patreon since that site requires nonfree
software to donate.
One thing we can do is ask people to develop free replacement JS code
to talk with some of these sites.
You could ask people in the US to snail you checks, or postal money
orders.
