Damn, the full meltdown!

I was a lowly bottom tier asshole at the time (doing senior work, just didn’t get the title) so managers would just put shit on my calendar and assume i would clear everything for their pet project. Then they got upset with me when that didn’t happen.

This isn’t going to make the copyright holders hate them any less.

Once, i had an entire day double booked (plus multiple hours before and after my working hours) and one hour in particular was quadruple booked. People were shouting at me all day about how I wasn’t showing up to their meetings, but like… you could see my calendar when you put those appointments on there. That’s kind of on you.

I got a talking to from my boss but they didn’t reprimand me or anything, it was just “managing these kinds of things is an important part of the job”. Eh. They did not pay me enough.

That shouldn’t be too bad if you understand systemd though, right? Or is there something weird i’m missing? Do you have an example guide that illustrates the problem?

That really is a good piece of documentation.

No chance they get a fine that big, tbh.

You’re right and you should say it. They exist not to help the workers but to spy on them and act as enforcers for upper management.

Huh, having separate append permission is interesting. i didn’t realize that was an option.

Big part, for sure.

I wish this article would have delved into the details of the system because it’s even more incoherent and insane than you think.

Google also lost a court case and had this system forced onto them by the law. I believe it would literally take a change in the dmca (ideally just repeal it or strip all the anti consumer bs out of it) for them to be allowed to do anything different.

It’s incredible that this is such a big point of debate. This kind of thing is really ignoring the material reality of racism in favor of the minutiae. Let’s have some 40 acres and a mule, then we can start talking about race conditions.

You should really be using a pre commit hook to catch secrets. Admittedly it may not have caught this, but manual review is (clearly) not always sufficient.

Yeah, like, “how did it get this was”? Well it wasn’t easy, it took a lot of hard work.

I’m being a little silly. Blockchain stuff wouldn’t work great for hosting git on for a number of reasons. You might be onto something with that idea about integrating it with gir and torrents, though. I was thinking of using it as an external way to verify the repo is the real thing and hasn’t been tampered with but your idea may be a better version of that.

On the grounds that the dmca is a blank check to let big corporations do whatever the fuck they want. It doesn’t have to be legal, but if you don’t take whatever they want down then that’s illegal and could get you (GitHub, in this case) in serious trouble.

Finally a use for block chain tech.

There’s a high likelihood it was Russian or Chinese work tbh. That’s a pretty reasonable take.

I’d bet WSB fucks everything up even if they’re trying to be helpful.
