Yeah, I was expecting it to be much worse to be honest. Obviously they should have said something right away and hopefully they’ve learned their lesson. Not sure I’d write them off for this one incident from 7-8 years ago but it’s probably still good to have that asterisks on their name.

What’s wrong with Nord?

Cool, and then there’s NEVER any problems with different paths? With back and forward slashes? With the limit on path length? With missing permissions on the file system requiring weird workarounds?

Nope. The language we use handles that for us. I don’t think path length has been an issue for a while now?

Most importantly, your server is likely not Windows, yet you test on Windows, and that’s never ever been a serious source of issues?

We use serverless functions using Linux and it’s never an issue. My previous employer, we had Windows servers and Linux based containers, and that wasn’t an issue either.

I never use Powershell and I use the terminal daily.

You install git and you get git bash that works great in the Windows terminal. That’s something you do once. I use the terminal daily, not an issue at all.

Personally I’ve never experienced any performance issues with it, seems fast and responsive to me.

I dev every workday on Windows 11 and I don’t get why people feel like it’s awful to work on? I dunno what everyone else is doing but it’s basically just switching between the IDE, Slack and the browser. The OS never seems to be an issue for me. My only real gripe is that even I click update and shutdown at the end of the day, it updates and restarts.

Same for my colleagues using a Mac.

I’d be more bothered about using Teams over Slack

Oh yeah I totally expet their rates to increase massively. And for people who made a reservation a long time ago who paid under the normal fee to have their booking suddenly cancelled.

FIFA is now charging around $175 on average for parking spots at 2026 World Cup games in the United States.

Holy shit - $175 to park your vehicle for one game?! What’s the chances that these venues are completely inacessible to public transport / walking?

Do you plan on adding any + subscription features?

I think that’s the result of dependency injection.

Salmon wanker!

Well where’s the proof that he created it? I’ll happily stand corrected.

I just think that if we’re going to attack someone, it’s probably a good idea to use facts that are true and not made up (it’s likely that op just misremembered the details) otherwise it just puts doubt on any further valid points. I’ve no interest in defending the guy but I do think we should try and keep our facts straight when we criticise someone.

It was always the version of events that I’ve read.

I just did a quick search and found this, a video claiming that he was a mod, but the majority of comments indicate it’s not true and that it was debunked.

I’m not defending the guy but wasn’t it that a mod of that subreddit added him as a mod as a joke? I don’t think spez created it.

Country selectors can also be annoying:

United Kingdom - not in the list. England - not in the list Great Britian - Yep

public interface ICanTravelThroughTheAir
{

}

public class Flea : ICanTravelThroughTheAir
{

}

public class AircraftCarrier
{
  private readonly List<ICanTravelThroughTheAir> _aircraft = new();

  public void AddAircraft(ICanTravelThroughTheAir flyingThing)
  {
    _aircraft.Add(flyingThing);
  }
}

public class Dog : AircraftCarrier
{
    public void Woof()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Bitch I'm an aircraft carrier!");
    }
}

public static class Program
{
  public int Main(string[] args)
  {
    var dog = new Dog();
    
    for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
    {
        dog.AddAircraft(new Flea());
    }

    dog.Woof();
  }
}

This would be absolutetly career ending anywhere else.

However you’re on Debian stable and the latest version of the package that came out 24 years ago is still too new.
