I now want a community led historical reenactment of loose tie wearing software devs in the 60s where they are just chain smoking and banging out COBOL or Fortran punch cards

While I would hope that’s the case, I firmly believe the GOP / russia would have doubled down on the misinformation that was already all over the place, and the ignorant on facebook and other social media still would have eaten that shit up. I think in the voters that mattered Bernie would have made a much bigger impression, and the policies he worked to pass would have been much more beneficial, but I don’t think it would have been this magic situation where all the dumb people disappeared and the rich people stopped trying to get the dumb people to vote make them richer
Right, I based it on an estimate on the size of the company and how many devs they’ve had. But if a 7MB file doubled their build size and nobody noticed for 5 years, it likely wasn’t code reviewed or committed and rather just added somewhere, It’d be my guess that it’s a pretty small team, and if they’re willing to call anyone at this point anyway as they only have a few devs, and not just remove the file, they’re probably unsure on if it serves any sort of point, which usually would be clear in a commit or PR
You think they’d call up devs who left them just to ask if they happen to know about a random file?
I mean, that’s what op said happened. Literally with the verbiage of “file we found” and not “file you committed”
Ah I could see that. I took it as them not knowing where the file came from at all, so they’re just asking all the devs who would have had access at that point, which is why it was “hey do you know anything about this file?” and not “is there a specific reason you committed this file to the build?”
Most large scale open source projects at this point are funded by somebody. usually because they have benefit to an enterprise somewhere. But I don’t know if an alternative browser really provides much enterprise support anywhere, sadly.
Probably the $500 million or so that Google pays them every year
Hey, it’s their fault for being in the path of that bullet traveling at 1200 feet per second. They had 0.0133 seconds to move out of the way. They made the decision to keep standing in a dangerous spot
(/s in case that wasn’t clear)
It sounds like they weren’t using any form of version control, so that’s definitely on them at this point
un-alived, you say?
Lol why do all of these just say THROW AWAY, but the “DO NOT EAT” is in quotes
“Some of them are coming from one particular country,” he said. “We think that this is, you know, one more opportunity to mess with the United States. And they’re continuing to do that.”
It’s ok, you can say Russia
Edit: also, for those wondering what Russia has to gain from this, it’s basically Putin’s international playbook:
Oh yeah true, wouldn’t someone think of Janno Lieber? The head of the MTA that has a salary equaling the president of the United States?

Which one? The guy that didn’t pay his fare? Or the innocent bystander shot in the head? Or the other person grazed by a bullet? Or the other cop who also got shot by his fellow officer during the unprofessional spray of gunfire?
Yeah the title sucks. It should be “4 people wounded by police gunfire during confrontation with man armed with knife.” The guy with the knife didn’t injure anybody and the title doesn’t make that clear.
There’s literally a company shaving off the melting ice from icebergs to ship to Dubai so that the super wealthy can sip on it in their drinks, so yeah
Or the fact that the whole thing was a gimmick to stop the rail from being built so that it wouldn’t affect the sales of teslas.

And the fact that he can suck it because it’s still happening

lol just google “first time meme”
I mean, it’s a joke, but many of his ideas are also libertarian wet dreams
