DigitalOcean is hosting another Hacktober fest, giving away free t-shirt to those who make pull requests to any open source project.
Hacktober fest is only a corporate-sponsored spam fest that gets abused by people who wants everything that's free, even though they don't need it.
The creation of one t-shirt uses 4.5 kg CO2e, 0.8 kg chemicals and about 2600 liters of water.
We have already drained the forth largest lake in the world due to cotton production. When are we going to learn?

@logrus1 same, all I have is a diploma and some experience. Finding a job is hard without a degree even if it's just web development.
@aseem Any purchase using credit cards demands identification. I would rather not use them unless it's bill payments or airline travels where they need identification anyway.
You will eventually start seeing personalized adverts because of this.
Try going to your bank's website with the no-script add-on installed if you want to know who tracks your activity. (for example ICICI Bank has both Google and Facebook analytics in the login page)

Web developers:
If your page is nothing but
<body>
<noscript>JavaScript is required.</noscript>
<script src="/app.js"></script>
</body>
then you have failed.
I feel bad for all new hires during this COVID-19 crisis, they don't know who will be friendly or who is jobless enough to chat on random topics and have fun.
Let's try making them feel at home.
Sometimes I just want to dramatically come out and say "I QUIT" and walk away...
But I don't think it'll be the way I imagine in my head since our daily stand-up is done in an audio conference :/

I wonder what's the click through rate on this book cover? 🤣

@badrihippo @fdroidorg
Yeah, I know... But we can push it as much as we can. at least a few will learn about free software…
I Just got to know that #india is planning on developing an App store for their own use.
There is no way for it to end well.
Why not use @fdroidorg or fork a version of it with the same philosophy?
A year and half ago I made a toot on something called open-brain-internet-thingy. I wrote an article about it then in LinkedIn, I think it's about time to re-visit the topic and improve the article.

Might as well write an article that no one will see...
