I implore the hacker to stop. The 7 users of Matrix are very concerned about the future of the service.
Wow, piping the output of cat to another utility. What a n00b. I hope the hacker gets hacked
Well, it depends. The EU doesn't like free speech; archive.org is not exempt (April 10th): https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190410/14580641973/eu-te...
I really hope you're being facetious when you say you wonder whether the other guy was being facetious ;P

>you don't want anything you work on to be used by the government Is this the work of some kind of extremist libertarian branch inside of Microsoft?
No, I'm not saying before we can criticise China we have to fix the rest of the world. Tribalism is normal and healthy, and there's nothing to fix.
That has nothing to do with the subject at hand. You are conflating issues.
It's not whataboutism, I'm saying that this is perfectly normal and therefore I don't think it's valid criticism of China in particular.
"right group", pun intended ;P
So, like everywhere in the world? This China bashing is getting stupid.
It is not good or bad, it is what it is. Unless biographies of females are actively being suppressed, it is simply irrelevant: they are not being created because nobody cares, literally.
There are many more biographies of males than of females on Wikipedia. Whatever the reason for that might be is up to debate.
What crimes did he commit? Honest question. I heard that someone accused him of being a rapist but then dropped the charges so I guess it was false. What else is there?
I assume people who don't think about DOM manipulation and the performance toll it takes are responsible for how slow the web is today and, what's even worse, how that waste of CPU has been pushed from the server to the…
I've been on the Internet my entire life and not even once I've seen something I didn't want or expect to see. It's simply not possible to force people to watch a several minutes long video or read a manifesto with…
The European Court of Human Rights upheld a conviction in 2018 for "disparagement of religious precepts" because a woman in Austria said that Muhammad was a paedophile (which is correct, since according to the Quran,…
Because a) politics is an extremely divisive topic which leads easily to flame wars and b) politics is completely unrelated to software development, so there's absolutely no reason to deal with a) in the context of…
Interesting. Can't you wrap the antenna in a Faraday cage, or simply disconnect it?
No, I said I believe it to be inappropriate to use your position in a public software project to push your politics. I didn't ask for "restrictions on ideological content". Believing something to be inappropriate…
It's not only about that. We all have our political ideas and I don't want anybody to shove theirs up my butt while I am in github; if I want to read that kind of stuff I'll look at twitter or facebook, thanks.
I find it concerning that someone might think it's appropriate to add political messages to software projects. Imagine if some software developer added a "fuck Bernie Sanders!!!" remark to the README of a popular repo.…
"Amazon" is the English spelling of the original name, so it could be argued it's a made-up word too.
Many of those depend on all of your neighbours doing the same thing. They won't, so you'll be the loser. I don't want to be the loser.
Are people actually downvoting this comment just because it's not politically correct? I mean, you could argue that it's not fair to discriminate entire countries because of the lax abuse policy of their ISPs, but the…
