damn

even hacktoberfest is going woke this year

no more t-shirts

some stupid digital pin probably that can forever spew out CO2 somewhere on some server farm in iceland or something

to be clear, i'm not a climate change denyer. but it stupid shit like this as to why we can't have nice things. all the incentives are backwards. change my mind

would have been the 5th shirt too... 😉

i'll probably print myself one anyway

The electricity sector in Iceland is 99.98% reliant on renewable energy: hydro power, geothermal energy and wind energy.

So, how has your preptember been? What projects are you looking a?

@electrineer are they using the volcano as the source?

@iiii

Not like they only have one 😂

From their website:

"producing over 50,000 t-shirts and shipping them around the world has become logistically challenging"

"almost all of the program’s operating budget in past years has been allocated towards these physical rewards"

"many countries with participants being required to pay customs taxes and import duty fees which often exceed the value of the gift itself"

- that doesn't sound woke, but perfectly reasonable arguments against t-shirts.

@CoreFusionX eh? Wasn't Iceland just one large volcanic island?

@iiii I think @CoreFusionX was amused with your phrase "THE volcano" as if there were only one

@black-kite yes, I was under impression there's only one large volcano

@iiii

Yep, Iceland is a volcanic island but there's a whole chain of volcanoes.

Should've released digital t-shirts for your metaverse character, best of both sides and the CO2 would be from meta's servers, which is carbon neutral, so it's all good :^))))

Not sure they're being woke. They're just using that as an excuse to save the cost of producing and shipping shirts.

@ostream private cars

@asgs i typically rip through open issues on DefinitelyTyped to get my PRs

but sometimes i find a cool seperate project to contribute to
