You can start with The Uber files, which “is a global investigation into a trove of 124,000 confidential documents from the tech company that were leaked to the Guardian.”
Summary
Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals
Some examples:
- The cache of more than 124,000 internal Uber files lays bare the ethically questionable practices through which the company barged its way into new markets, often where existing laws or regulations made its operations illegal, before lobbying aggressively for those same laws or regulations to be altered to accommodate it.

As Bonus some older articles about their overall ethics and practices:
Yes indeed. It would also work (at least similarly) for the VIC-20 and other Commodore computers 🧑🏫
Or … 99 has a more uncommon meaning for me 🤓

Setenil de las Bodegas is a town (pueblo) and municipality in the province of Cádiz, Spain, famous for its dwellings built into rock overhangs above the Río Guadalporcún. According to the 2005 census, the city has a population of 3,016 inhabitants.
[…] The town extends along the course of the Rio Trejo with some houses being built into the rock walls of the gorge itself, created by enlarging natural caves or overhangs and adding an external wall.
also nice:
Setenil has a reputation for its meat products, particularly chorizo sausage and cerdo (pork) from pigs bred in the surrounding hills. As well as meat, it has a reputation for producing fine pasteles (pastries), and its bars and restaurants are among the best in the region. Its outlying farms also provide Ronda and other local towns with much of their fruit and vegetables.
Me too, I really like the concept, also have demo-purchased by app with it. Hope it will become usable reality at some point.
GNU Taler. Ah, question was rhetorical :)
It is a small world in the Fediverse :)
You can use the same Windshield in winter and summer (I did many years). When it is used from outside, it helps even more against the temperature.
It is a bit more fun though, to use one with big eyes to be positioned inside and make your car look like from Cars movie. Example on Pinterest
We have the red version (strangely ours was much cheaper here in Germany than what I just found on Walmart website) in our little red Toyota and aside from keeping the car cooler it is looking really cute.
:D sorry, of course the coal guy, not the one with the fancy hairstyle.
They (Mr. Oil, Mr. Coil and Mrs. Nuke) explained to him that they are loosing $87 from your electric bill what will effect their profits and donations to him.
Came here to mention “Pi”, too.
A movie I would like to watch.
Funny that the original post is 3 years old but it is still so actual :)
Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately I do not know a FOSS alternative for this purpose.
Is google pay similar to PayPal?
For micro-transactions I stumbled over the GNU Taler project a while ago.
Last time I checked it was not production ready, but maybe it is worth a look?
As save-games and configs of my GOG Linux games are normally(!) outside of the installation folders (found them in my home-folder, under .local or .config), I simply install such new version .sh file into the same locations (overwriting the existing installation). But I do not know for sure, if this is the best solution in all cases.
Anyway you can easily try it by yourself after backing up your game-folder (simply zip it). This way you will not lose anything if overwriting game files will mess something up.
EDIT: maybe it is worth finding the save-game/config folder and back it up, too. Just in case the new version messes with config files.
