It’s like LG TVs asking you to accept…

What is like that?

I was making an simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/analogy with those two paragraphs.

I assume you mean products, not brands?

Both.

Elon Musk. Haven’t seen anything about him or any of his companies or products in Hack Club, besides his name on a sponsor list somewhere.

Can’t be bothered to find the source but he quit a while ago because someone on Xitter managed to convince him that HC is in relation to anti-Tesla protests. Which is false because they would never bite the feeding hands for this exact reason.

Actually, Hack Club has their own free alternative to GitHub

You mean, git.hackclub.app? hackclub.app is the community hosting platform, so let’s use that argument against you. Filtering by not forks, not mirrors, not templates (but including archived), there are 6 pages full of 20 items plus 4 more. I don’t know how to filter out 1 commit ones, but there are 12 repos named “test”. Total:

$ bc <<<"6*20+4-12"
112

Now, lets see the page for some old event, like highseas.hackclub.com . The “last time we did this” portion is talking about an even earlier event, “arcade”. It says “5000” high schoolers participated, implying at least one project per each AND rounded.

and GH Codespaces

Using software maintained by Microsoft, promoting an idea basically only Microsoft is doing. It’s absolutely pointless even on most Chromebooks. Nice try.

AMD: They donated 16 of their GPUs ig?

…and the whole build using the Ryzen® AI thing.

The Thiel fellowship, Shopify

The bare minimum promotion via logo.

MIT, Girls Who Code, Open Sauce

Also non-profits bringing their own politics here.

NASA

Gotta love promoting US nationalism. Also, “talking to astronauts” actually means “talking to someone who will have to talk to 40 more people with their stupid questions to afford food”.
