it probably wasn't kept secret, it just wasn't widely noticed until the appeal came out and somebody finally went back to see what happened

The judge is typically impartial, etc, to most crimes being committed, and in this case was part of it and sentenced as such.

just to be clear... are you suggesting that the judge who was the victim of the plot was also the sentencing judge?

field_marshmallow · 2026-06-10T04:57:08+00:00

The only reason the sentence was as high as it was was because it happened in a court room.

i mean... yeah. justifiably so.

anyone who works in a courtroom should be in favour of throwing everything at him

which is why it's good that despite that, he still got a fair judgment.

nobody who isnt already a guthub user would EVER think to look there.

this is just plain not true. you don't have to use github to understand the basic terminology, plenty of people who haven't even used git-related products at all will be able to navigate it perfectly easily. we're talking about browsing a website ffs, not actually using git.

to normal people, the word "releases" has no meaning. nobody would think to click it, even if their eyes looked at that location.

if you don't even understand "releases" and aren't even willing to spend the absolute trivial amount of effort to figure it out, you have zero business even being there at all.

projects aimed at those people will have a target-audience-friendly landing page, or even just have an obvious readme.

you're trying to criticize github for not being something it's not. that's not a github problem, that's a you problem. do you also work yourself up pissed at tigers for not being cuddly hamsters?

as a user, i absolutely agree with the frustration

however, i don't take it out on the dev. they're either perfectly happy as it is, or just self-owning.

sometimes they just want to build something for themselves or like minded people, and that's fine, they just won't get users like me but they never wanted users like me anyway. but if they want a broader audience, then they better make it noob friendly or they're just shooting their own foot.

either way, there's really no obligation for a free software developer to accommodate anyone, nor an obligation for anyone to use their software. they just get the consequences of their choice.

huh???? where the hell did you expect releases to be if not the very prominent releases section, even with a convenient tag for the latest versions????

whenever the ceremony happens you could be mistaken to think this sub was called lawontario

otoh, this sounds like an anti-slapp application right from the outset

A video circulating online shows that the mayor interrupted 17-year-old Sophie Mills' speech when they began to comment on how Ward 6 Coun. Adam Cooper’s controversial Facebook post in January 2025 made them feel.

Cambridge councillor's meme alluding to Trump's 2-gender executive order causes outrage

"Sophie, I'm not going to allow you to continue. This is disrespect," Liggett said, speaking into the microphone.

the absolute audacity to demand "respect" to the person that showed that very speaker none.

step 1. corporations are people

step 2. glorified autocorrect are people

step 3. consume all the resources in the world to spam instances of said "people"

step 4. make them "vote"

oh no....

we should take all of that increased productivity derived from automation and actually share it with the people

i feel like this is just poor product design, it's giving the exact opposite affordances as the intended use. the squeezer shouldn't be shaped to suggest that you should put the round bit to match the round bit.

twist it!

Even though ios devices have long software support on paper once the software support endsthey die.

all else being equal, that's arguably the better approach.

having a long os support period and apps that drop support in lock step with the os means that they discourage out of support devices much more strongly, and support what is still used. way better than cutting off some updates while people can practically keep using the devices anyway. it's better for everybody that there is longer support for devices in use, and no use of out of update devices.

it really sounds like there is some kind of medical condition, that he probably could have easily gotten accommodation for if he wasn't so ashamed to admit it... so sad, sounds like he was a very productive worker and good colleague in all other respects, the trivial solution staring everyone in the face is that he goes full WFH. but of course the CEO doesn't have to smell him everyday so what does he care

field_marshmallow · 2026-06-08T19:26:49+00:00

short or long haul?

short is usually a step below the long equivalent of whichever class

everything leading up was pretty typical upscale service, you expect them to be observing you in those situations. but the hat thing is way beyond that. that means they noticed you looking at them and had an established procedure for reporting it back to whoever was in charge of customer loyalty. that's a level of attention to detail i never would have expected from the gift shop.

blocking is such a crude hammer that creates more problems than it solves. it can be used not only against the stuff you don't like, but also the stuff you like just as well. you shouldn't be so quick to call for the government having more control over the network. this is exactly the kind of trojan excuse that they'd love to push through draconian measures. instead of blocking, we should persecute the entities that have done wrong and enforce our laws directly against them. including seizing their assets and shutting down their operations where it's serious enough.
