Just today while finding my way here using Google Maps, messaging on Whatsapp, reading mails on Outlook I was wondering why are these Tech Giants providing these services for free. After coming here I realized what was actually happening. Everything and everywhere I do, go, eat is being tracked, every bit of information private to me is being sold to companies who use it to sell personalized stuff to me back. Thanks to @rohitnair for that demo, it opened my eyes. Also thanks to @ranjithraj I found a lot of alternatives to apps I regularly use as well as LineageOS, a de-googlified android (https://lineageos.org/)

Thanks to #HacktoberFestBangalore I learned a lot of stuff today and found a few points to explore further.

I would like to share a project by my friend which I feel is very useful for students and is open-source. It is called Circuitverse(https://circuitverse.org/), it is a Digital Circuit Simulator and is based on JavaScript. Do give it a try.

Thanks for this event! Excited to be part of further events!
