Urgent Mutual Aid! [215/600]
I'm currently broke and unemployed.
Two months ago, I lost my job, and despite constant searching, I haven’t been able to find another one yet. I’ve burned through all my savings and had to move out of my previous place because I simply couldn’t afford the rent anymore. I’ve managed to find a cheaper room, but now I’m down to something like $100 and have no income coming in right now.
I’m asking for help to cover food and basic needs while I keep applying for jobs. I live in Poland, where even small donations in dollars or euros go a long way.
Any support truly makes a difference. Thank you.

Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025
investment in information-processing equipment and software was only 4% of U.S. GDP for the first half of 2025, yet it also accounted for fully 92% of GDP growth over that period
Folks, i need a job or a contract so bad. I'm a full-stack developer, i work in several frameworks (including #laravel and #yii2), and with several CMSes (notably #craftcms and #expressionengine but i can also work in Wordpress). I've got SQL wizard skills and a deep focus on #a11y and solid, maintainable, semantic HTML and CSS on the front end. Please hire me!
I'm a dual US/Canadian citizen and prefer fully remote work but can also do in-office in Vancouver/the Lower Mainland area.
Urgent Mutual Aid! [75/$600]
I'm broke and unemployed.
Two months ago I have lost my job and so far failed to land another one. I've burned through all of my savings and was forced to move out of the place I was inhabiting due to the fact I could no longer afford it. After securing a new - cheaper place to stay I'm left with $50 to my name and no paycheck coming in. The money I'm collecting will be used to feed me while I'm desperately looking for a job.
I'm Polish, so dollars and euros are worth a lot.
Please.

At this point it was clear to me that the remote possibility of needing an Apple OS on this computer was not worth the effort. Unfortunately, the flash drive I loaded up with the Ubuntu installer before nuking macOS wasn't booting (gotta double check that before touching the functioning system). So, my dilemma was: how do I download a new disk image and write it to the flash drive on a computer that can barely do more than ping an ip address? FTP to the rescue. Checked for an ubuntu mirror that supports FTP (thank god a few still exist), carefully type that URL into the built in terminal-based FTP client, and download the image. Ok, now how do I write it to the flash drive? dd. Very slow, but it worked.
This after trying to set up dual-boot, wrecking the macOS partition, trying to reinstall Catalina from recovery mode, failing, going to network recovery mode, which decided that MOUNTAIN LION was what it actually needed. Booted into Mountain Lion (which was a far superior OS than Catalina is, BTW) only to discover that the version of Safari it ships with is too old for most common websites to even bother serving a page to! Firefox doesn't support Mountain Lion. I could get an old version of Chrome, but it had the same problems as Safari. The best part of this adventure in somewhat too old web browsers? Apple's updating tool is web-based. guess which servers "couldn't establish a secure connection" to the Safari engine that runs the interface for the updater? Apple's app store/updater. It was impossible to update or upgrade anything on the machine.
