You can always just buy the loss leaders - win-win!
Things I’m into: All things IT (also professionally), social and environmental justice/volunteering/activism, cooking, baking, eating, music (listening, singing, string instruments), fantasy books, audiobooks, PC gaming, parenting, Germany, Bavaria, Seattle/Washington, and, ADHD 🥲

No point in talking to you if you can’t even understand the article you yourself posted.
So they bought one mansion with donated money legally and then had a private birthday party in it? I’m guessing it wasn’t your money they used lol.
If the IRS finds that wasn’t proper, by all means, go after them, like any tax cheat.
That doesn’t invalidate the cause. Otherwise, you’d have to claim the same about preventing kids cancer, after the Trumps used that donated money for their private funds.
Been working in IT since 1997. Imposter syndrome sucks.
That being said, contributing to FOSS can be as little as helping others in a Linux forum, validating bug reports, etc before you file your first pull request 😁
Making claims to the contrary is a pretty good indicator of ones media diet…
We also know they stole a ton of money to buy mansions.
Who is they? Where are those mansions?
I read about this hobby project yesterday and thought it was very inspiring. This guy wrote a scraper that compares the prices of groceries and it made a big political splash too. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@badlogic/111071396799790275
Personally, I also wanted to try some new tech, and created my first android app for my daughter to practice her basic math operations many years ago.
Another option for you would be to find a FOSS project you like and contribute there (fediverse? Hint, hint).
At least the employees feel bad lol
Stolen comment from the article, which exactly reflected my thinking on this story:
[Reads the headline]
“Hmm, that sounds bad. Maybe it was slightly better with context?”
[Reads the post.]
“Ah no, context actually makes it worse.”
I wonder if someone told CGPT ;)
Wouldn’t it be great if didn’t just have to fear school shootings, but also kids getting accidentally tased because they popped some bubble gum?!?
Blocking search terms is not a substitute for proper content moderation.
Meta acknowledged in a statement to The Washington Post that Threads is intentionally blocking the search terms and said that other terms are being blocked, but the company declined to provide a list of them. A search by The Post discovered that the words “sex,” “nude,” “gore,” “porn,” “coronavirus,” “vaccines” and “vaccination” are also among blocked words.
That doesn’t count, those were brown people!
I’m sure 1 in 100 TikToks are probably good, but I just can’t make it through the amount of bad videos on there… the good stuff gets shattered on other platforms anyway.
By the way, I was helping a buddy job hunting… holy cow, TikTok has a huge number of open jobs, like 650 in Seattle alone.
The “necessity defense” stuff: I tried all the other avenues and nothing happened, I had to turn off this oil pipeline.
Am I the only one who gets 0 benefits from CBD?
A vehemently disagree with any statement that claims PDF made the world better.
OK, I can be a little more nuanced, the many ways PDFs are used today, for anything but printing something, are making the world a worse place.
unhealthy or dangerous behavior
We’re talking about a mobile game here…
Obviously one can use Zelle legitimately, but somebody requesting online payment and then sending somebody else to get the goods is like 95% a scam. I think the more common Zelle scam is that they fake a Zelle email that only looks like they paid you.
That 5% would be great, if WF wasn’t like 50% more expensive LOL
