250‽ That’s two times the classic Star Wars novella “Heir to the Empire”!
Hate fares good for the algorithm.
It’s an interesting enormity how you call the system unified in this time of great polarization.
You’re the only one bringing up whether Trump has racial and misogynistic prejudice on potency here.
He said these things with strong confidence and conviction in the face of convictions. Meanwhile, Biden practically got “you care about golf, I care about the people” handed to him on an orange platter of pudding and still resorted to stuttering on country clubs and abortion rights, the most favorable points voters of this country see.
If you meant receive CI results... just send these via email? Every major platform (Gerrit, GitLab, GitHub, Gitea...) already does that for notifications IIRC.
I'd doubt that this has creds, though. IIRC Steam multiplayer generates its own creds.
Why would you need to control these through a mailing list? The maintainers should have accounts (I don't see the point in federating maintainers instead of just discussion, especially when this is self-hostable), and only those with permissions should be setting up labels, assignees, inline reviews, and CI. And yes, sourcehut has a UI for this, though alternatives through email commands are also available.
And no, I do not see the point of reactions. If you really need a vote, use a voting service.
The political campaign is actually the innovation of the film, which was an adaptation.

And then he realized that winning would break the rules, as the salary makes the position considered an asset, so he campaigned for "none of the above". At the end of the movie, that option wins.
Wait, it didn't do that already?
No, they lost the code and couldn't get it back because they didn't use Git or upload it.
Mailing lists offer everything needed for a discussion: sending words, threading discussion (that’s already better than every competitor!), and receiving words. All of this is done fast with modern email’s push syncing. Sure, it’s not instant messaging, but development discussions shouldn’t be chatty. Sure, it’s not good for voting, but one can and should just link to one of these online polling services that guarantee integrity instead.
Thing is, one has to stop hearing him talk to take in her talk, a surprisingly hard act for many.
IIRC it was made by two people, only one of which was a developer.
- Git has bundled tooling to support pushing MRs to mailing lists.
- Email is existing infrastructure. I’m the kind of guy who hates the powerbanks solar route and prefer selling excess solar power to the grid instead. This also has the benefit on allowing you to customize your notifications from subscribed repositories however you like.
- The reason we’re not on a mailing list is because we have an extra feature mailing lists can’t offer: reacting, be that upvoting, downvoting, or bookmarking/boosting. Meanwhile, you don’t need that on a development forum. You do have editing, though. Hopefully everyone’s using a client that supports undo.
- IMO, the slower speed of email makes people think more before they send.
Have you actually read my post?
If you didn't realize that when you heard him talk
That’s the thing. He was miles ahead in the debate, even though I highly disagree with the argument.

Some government employee made the “new logo” in the 90s for NCSA software (the Common Gateway Interface), and government work is public domain.

CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes
…according to a Twitter post by the Chief Informational Security Officer of Grand Canyon Education.
> > > So, does anyone else find it odd that the file that caused everything CrowdStrike to freak out, C-00000291- > 00000000-00000032.sys was 42KB of blank/null values, while the replacement file C-00000291-00000000- > 00000.033.sys was 35KB and looked like a normal, if not obfuscated sys/.conf file? > >
Also, apparently CrowdStrike had at least 5 hours to work on the problem between the time it was discovered and the time it was fixed.

Anthony Bray sentenced to four months for possession of replica Master Sword
WARWICKSHIRE, ENGLAND—Bray claimed that the sword was a “fidget” – something to keep his hands busy. He had bought it online as a fidget toy. On 8 June 2024, officers were made aware through CCTV operators of a man – Anthony Bray – walking down Queens Road, Nuneaton with something in his hand. Bray approached officers with the item in his hand visible, at which point he was arrested as he was carrying a bladed article.
> > > Officers tried to explain to Bray that, despite its intended purpose, it was in fact a sharply pointed item which could be used as a weapon and might put others in fear of it being used against them. > >
> > > In addition to the four months in prison, Bray is required to pay a victims’ surcharge of £154. > > > > Sgt Spellman of the Patrol Investigations Unit said “We take a zero tolerance to bladed articles in public, and Bray has fallen afoul of this. > >
> > > What’s missing from every report about this I could find, and what is so crucial to understanding this story, however is that Anthony Bray is a repeat offender with a long rap sheet and numerous prison sentences, several of which were for burglary including serial burglary. In 2011, Bray was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison after getting “three strikes” for burgling residences. But his run-ins with the law go back to 1989 and he was in court numerous times throughout the 90s as well. > >
> > > The last wrinkle to this story is the very real problem with knife violence in the UK. Warwickshire is in the Midlands where knife violence is higher than any other region, higher even than in London. There were 5,234 knife offenses in the region in 2023 alone including a number of murders. Perhaps it is through this lens that we should view the arrest and prison sentence of Anthony Bray. > >

TIL that in 2014, a photographer tried to copyright a monkey's selfie and sue Wikipedia for it.
The EFF soon created a crossword, overlaid it on top of the monkey, and featured it on their website.
> > > August 2014 – Photographer David Slater sent a copyright takedown notice to the Wikimedia Commons over a photograph of a Celebes crested macaque taken on one of his cameras, which at the time was being operated by the macaque, resulting in a "monkey selfie". The Wikimedia Foundation dismissed the claims, asserting that the photograph, having been taken by a non-human animal, rather than Slater, is in the public domain per United States law.[277][278] Subsequently, a court in San Francisco ruled copyright protection could not be applied to the monkey and a University of Michigan law professor said "the original monkey selfie is in the public domain."[279] > >
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey\_selfie\_copyright\_dispute :
> > > In September 2015, PETA filed a lawsuit against Slater and Blurb, requesting that the copyright be assigned to the macaque and that PETA be appointed to administer proceeds from the photos for the endangered species' benefit.[6] In dismissing PETA's case, a federal district court ruled that a monkey cannot own copyright under US law.[7] PETA appealed. > >
