If you like to gamble but still get work done, I built a Firefox extension for you:

🔀 Random GitHub Notification

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/random-github-notification/

Random GitHub Notification – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Random GitHub Notification for Firefox. Firefox add-on which adds a toolbar button to open a random GitHub notification of yours! Very useful to catch up and work through notifications – with the excitement of randomness. Part of the Keep or Sweep ecosystem.

New version of https://tosdr.org just dropped 🎁

12+ years of the awesome @ToSDR community making legalese easy to understand!

Frontpage -- Terms of Service; Didn't Read

“Terms of Service; Didn't Read” (short: ToS;DR) is a project started in June 2012 to help fix the “biggest lie on the web”: almost no one really reads the terms of service we agree to all the time.
