Hey! #Outreachy applications for the next December-March round are now open! https://outreachy.org 🎉

They offer three month internships with free and open source projects — #FOSS. Interns are paid a 5,500 USD stipend and have access to a 500 USD travel allowance.

I can't recommend this program enough. It's such a rich and welcoming experience, in addition to being a great way to start working in tech.

Start your application today!

Constraints of social media affects #photography posted in it. Images are small, both in terms of the resolution (allowed by platform) and size (of the screen). Some photos works. Some, like this one, doesn't. This poses the question through. Is the photo on social media the photo itself, or its representation... or a social media #photo the same medium as a print photograph at all?

A tale of two browser companies:
1. Google purchases your credit card history from Mastercard to link ads you saw to offline purchases. https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/30/17801880/google-mastercard-data-online-ads-offline-purchase-history-privacy
2. Firefox goes full anti-tracking https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/08/30/changing-our-approach-to-anti-tracking/

Woahh! That's nice 😉 😉 😉

@nextcloud Big shout out to the #Nextcloud team,you guys have an amazing / open source product! I have been looking at the latest version for pi, and I am impressed. The moment I saw the ebook reader (.epub) app availability in this open for development environment I was dancing! I simply wanted to replace my google drive usage with #FOSS, what I see here is MORE than what gdrive offers! Thank you and also huge thanks to the #Pi nextcloud community, that is the version I am using. Amazing product!
