That’s true, but as a maintainer you could encourage those helpful maintainers to triage issues from regular users.

I think the real benefit would come from taking a user’s reputation into account across projects.

At the end of the day you can’t have low effort pull requests, and expect maintainers to look at everything. It’s the same spam problem as in any other domain.

Surely we can come up with networks of trust for this sort of thing, so that you don’t have to deal with PRs from people with no references.

Doubling the price of Russia’s oil, and using up all the patriot missiles is nothing to you?

Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.

I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

Well I guess that explains this whole thing…

I wonder if fucking over the working class is actually bad for productivity…

List of things I buy the instant they will take my money. Also, grapheneos phone.

When buying a laptop in 2026, you really need to consider how easy it’s going to be to keep it running with parts you’ve scavenged from other road-warriors.

Why is everyone okay with boilerplate? Did we forget what programming languages are supposed to do?

You still have to maintain that code.

Google already refuse signing releases for GrapheneOS on the pixel.

Do you mean how you get a special boot screen implying you’re doing something sketchy?

Google signing things is not something we want. We want phones that don’t care if your OS is signed by Google, and banking apps that trust you to pick an OS.

Yeah, honestly this is the default car shape now and I hate it. At least the BYD looks like a big estate, which id much rather have.

I’m like this too. I can go back to a city I’ve been to once, years ago, and I know the way around. I remember the layout and location of my childhood friends houses, even when I don’t remember their names.

I’m terrible at remembering exact quotes from books, TV, etc, but I have pins in my mental map for where the scenes took place, even in fictional worlds.

TODAY WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

Shame? Empathy?

This is pennies to them.

Letting wealth accumulate to this extent seems incompatible with democracy. I hope we’re not past the point of no (peaceful) return.

Why do I feel good when I avoid stepping on the pavement cracks?

It’s one of the most mind blowing man-made things I’ve ever seen. The only thing I can think of that was similar to walking into it was walking into the building at Kennedy space centre with the Saturn V in it.

I was never as into Ween as some of my friends were, but The Mollusk is a masterpiece IMO.

It’s kinda like Mr Bungle - California. If you can casually make an album of pop music that good, you have my eternal respect, even if I never fully get into the less approachable work.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting.

So the point of this speech was: don’t make the mistake of fighting fascism again.

Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving

Imagine even thinking this about bus fares, when there’s corporate welfare, subsidies, bailouts, and a tax code that heavily favours the wealthy.
