Flattr was a kind of a version of that (although billed as "donations"), and it recently shut down. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
There was https://flattr.com/ and, more recently, https://twitter.com/coil But, yes, a complete chicken-and-egg problem. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
I think Flattr does exactly this https://flattr.com/ but it looks like they may have changed their business model recently. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
This kind of looks like https://flattr.com/ but specifically for dev/dependencies. Not sure I like that there's "only" a two-month limit in which funds can be claimed, though. Some developers could be very busy or get caught up with other stuff and not hear about their accumulated funds before the "expire". Some might also think it's a phishing scam if they haven't heard of StackAid before. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. Instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Well, I thought of that, too, but it was 100% through https://affirm.com as I can see the loan through the app and have viewed it through their website. I dont believe that brintoro couldve gotten my information as the loan is directly through their service, not brintoros. Itd be the same on any service like amazon, id imagine.

Unfortunately, I can't help much because I keep all of my development devices updated to their latest version. If I were you, during/after all this, I'd hit up affirm.com, and buy myself a new MacBook. Or maybe ask your employer to upgrade for you because it's obviously important for development.
