Re:Ask HN: Best way to “donate” dev hours to charity? on Monday April 03, 2023 @10:29AM (#35424177)

Digital Candle is a great service for providing free tech advice to charities: https://www.digitalcandle.org.uk/

You can sign up for a one hour call with a charity which has a problem/needs advice. There's no committment after that but you can get more involved with that charity if you like/it's appropriate

I've volunteered with it a few times, all felt productive/ hopefully helpful to the charities involved

"Apple is notorious for swiping design and elements" They even patented swipe to unlock, probably swiped that one too.

Re:How many Ubuntu Phones there are? on Monday September 28, 2015 @07:21AM (#10289824)

One more than there should be by rights! Mine fell in a river at night a week ago, I thought it was gone but then I saw a light flashing from the bottom.. It was the screen flickering, coming and going for about a minute like it was calling to me. By the time I got in it had gone out but I found it by diving and feeling around on the bottom.

Packed it in rice and 4 days later it came back to life :) I'm very happy, great phone and surprisingly hardy!

Thanks! I'm signed up. Philip Morris vs. Australia sounds like it should be satire :(

Thanks, very informative - I see why this is a problem now!

Re:European Citizens’ Initiative against TTIP and CETA on Wednesday July 16, 2014 @08:35AM (#8041665)

I agree, could someone please explain why CETA and TTIP are worth stopping? Given that the link doesn't seem to, and I don't have time to watch the press conference.
