I am one of those guilty of always intending to donate, but never really getting to it. But now I sat down and took the time to donate to some of the projects that provide great value for me, and also listed the ones I did not donate to now for future donations. I also set up an overview to track where I donate to, so that I make sure to spread the donations well over time.

Just a friendly reminder to consider donating to the projects that provide value to you if you have the means!

but I’m still pissed off at their stupidity.

? what did I miss?

Them allowing unlimited book checkouts during covid in defiance of copyright law, resulting in them getting sued and losing bad in court. They knew it was going to get them in trouble and proceeded anyway.

I'm not saying it wasn't a noble thing to do, but it was stupid and they knew better. So now they are just paying off the fine and I don't want my money to go straight to the publishers and lawyer fees.

Some things are worth paying the fine for.

I missed this somehow. Donated to them repeatedly because of the wayback machine, which they created.
