Hey #hacktoberfest beginners. I'm a very small scale maintainer and here are some things that you could do that I, personally, would value greatly! I suspect most maintainers would too. 1/s

#Hacktoberfest is intimidating and self defeating in my opinion. How is a beginner strictly expected to contribute to a thing that makes an impact? I say this as someone who figured how to make a pull request a month ago

How people choose to grieve & process their loss after a miscarriage is no-one's business but their own. Miscarriage is already not talked about enough so anyone brave enough to share their story & grief openly, & initiate conversation about it, is to be applauded not criticised.

Chrissy Teigen choosing to share her story, talking so openly at this stage in her grief takes courage, but shockingly this honesty has resulted in criticism. We'd like to look at some of these comments and explain why they are so hurtful. Read our blog: bit.ly/36oZK7K

Chrissy Teigen won't see the nasty shite you write about her, but your pals who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, and baby loss will.

A popular coding TV channel in India also mentioned, while talking about it, that all you have to do to get the T-shirt is add, "Awesome project" to the Readme. Literally telling people to do this BS. Source: Someone else on Twitter who is from India.

They seem to have tools built to allow repos to opt out, and opt-in got nowhere. Is it because they're afraid maintainers will get burdened with pressure to opt in? Can't be worse than the spam they've got now? twitter.com/MattIPv4/statu… https://t.co/4dXtO24W4q

:nod: I voiced internally last year that repos should be opt-in, it never got anywhere sadly.

Idea: make PRs not count towards #Hacktoberfest by default. Allow Projects to opt-in (either project wide, or per-PR)?

Someone invent this. Please. I'll pay anything.

Ahh yeah. #hacktoberfest2020 bringing the quality PRs again (not my repo) Note: I'm not saying docs PRs aren't quality, just that being innundated with low quality PRs like happens at the start of Hacktoberfest must be a nightmare for people with more popular packages.

Matt Brunt (@Brunty)Wed, 30 Sep 2020 20:37 +0000

So yeah this is why I've been talking about streaming so much. SOOOO who wants to watch me slowly unravel over the course of a month as I partcipate in 66 (SIXTY SIX) streams? It'll be a blast and I'll only cry a little bit

I only remember unobtainium because its the dumbest fucking name for a sci fi mineral ive ever heard. Might as well call it Greedstone or Capitalismium.
