While I appreciate Indeed sponsoring, but why $420? Are you kidding Indeed?

Your entire business is build around web scraping and using libraries to pull data from other sources. Common, you can do better!

Picking on one of the few companies that did contribute something will not help the cause. If more of the companies did likewise there would be real money in FOSS instead of peanuts.

Thank you Indeed (and others on the list, especially Spotify).

Edit: toned down a bit.

This is exactly why it's better to not participate. When you participate and people see your name they'll give you grief.

This is the Copenhagen Interpretation of Morality.

Man, How do you remember all this stuff? - "Copenhagen Interpretation of Morality"

Thanks for posting this.

420 is a weed joke.

In many cases it is difficult to get funding for ad-hoc donations such as this, let alone the authorization to do it on behalf of the company.

I wouldn't be surprised if that effort was driven by a single employee.

Some companies give employees an annual budget to be directed to charitable donations.

[richbell]

I've found that companies that do offer that often restrict it to an established list of charities, which is understandable but means you cannot donate to a random guy in Ukraine maintaining a vital open source project.

Well, thanks to the employee whoever it was

Most likely as a joke, such as $69. Posting publicly as an "inside" joke and to be seen with this sense of humor.
