I am into Counter Strike and I love watching the majors, but it seems like my entire feed is full of betting ads for Polymarket now. Before I had actual counter strike casinos but those are long gone in favor of these prediction markets.

It is a popular client mod that adds many quality-of-life features not found in the normal app, but no such thing existed for Slack in a way that did not feel full of jank.So I decided to make my own.

As someone who is part of the Hack Club community, I would urge caution before blindly trusting this account.

- This person has also used their access to attempt to extort the admins and their Airtable data, demanding a bounty payment for access they were previously given. - In her arguments about the program leads earning higher bounties, they had said that they both did bounties for Coinbase and Google, neither of which being non-profits - Many of her arguments are flawed in other ways.

>We made a mistake. >This was the result of an oversight in our billing process, and we are returning Hack Club to its previous nonprofit pricing while we work with them directly to ensure their workspace remains fully accessible. We value the work Hack Club does to inspire and educate young people in coding and technology, and we regret the concern this situation has caused. We will be reviewing our billing and communications processes to provide nonprofits clearer guidance and adequate grace periods as they grow.

Great stuff, just wondering how fast there will be a major security hole. Has HCB been audited by any third party security vendors yet?
