Brands I Boycott and Why

An ever-evolving list of brands I boycott and why as well as the last date I supported them. I'll continue to update this list as I learn more and detach myself from the firm grip of big tech and corporatism.

I recognise, as a tech worker, that we've created quite the hydra, so detaching ourselves becomes much more complicated than it ever should be. I also recognise that like the capitalistic umbrella tech operates under, we are somewhat stuck using certain technologies (for example, I am writing this here on GitHub, which refuses to drop ICE as a contract.).

I am not perfect and recognise this can be seen as moralistic. I am doing this to share information that may help influence your decisions. They may not. That's up for you to decide.

My hope is to encourage everyone to be more thoughtful in how they vote with their wallets.

Everything I Know About UI Routing

Definitions

1. Location - The location of the application. Usually just a URL, but the location can contain multiple pieces of information that can be used by an app
   1. pathname - The "file/directory" portion of the URL, like invoices/123
   2. search - The stuff after ? in a URL like /assignments?showGrades=1.
   3. query - A parsed version of search, usually an object but not a standard browser feature.
   4. hash - The # portion of the URL. This is not available to servers in request.url so its client only. By default it means which part of the page the user should be scrolled to, but developers use it for various things.
   5. state - Object associated with a location. Think of it like a hidden URL query. It's state you want to keep with a specific location, but you don't want it to be visible in the URL.

Note:

When this guide is more complete, the plan is to move it into Prepack documentation.
For now I put it out as a gist to gather initial feedback.

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack (Part 1)

If you're building JavaScript apps, you might already be familiar with some tools that compile JavaScript code to equivalent JavaScript code:

• Babel lets you use newer JavaScript language features, and outputs equivalent code that targets older JavaScript engines.
