  1. Re:Trust on Microsoft's Interest In Buying GitHub Draws Backlash From Developers · · Score: 0

    What platforms? Sure, Github has a GUI Git client, but how many people use it, compared to the numerous competitors and the command-line? Many IDEs have Git support baked-in, anyway.

    Your number 3 makes no sense. There is nothing illegal about a Github competitor, and there already exist several.

    You, and the fucks who modded you insightful are perfect idiots.

  2. Re:Is github itself open-source? on Microsoft's Interest In Buying GitHub Draws Backlash From Developers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You worked for a shit startup that always intended to screw you. What happens in an honest company is that the buyout price is stated in terms of $/share. Any options you have automatically vest, and you get a lump sum (minus taxes) for your shares multiplied by the share price. You literally can't have a situation where there isn't money for the employees.

    There’s nothing illegal going on, so mentioning the DOJ is just demonstrating to the world that you are an absolute moron, and deserve pain for your entire existence.

    It’s not a screwup. The product is Git Virtual File System. That’s the only logical name because that’s what it is.

    It’s not illegal to use the same acronym as another piece of software. Cisco’s case was a trademark dispute, and given that no one buys Cisco just to get IOS, they probably made out good on their settlement.

  7. Re:Turnabout is fair play on Microsoft Sticks With Controversial 'GVFS' Name Despite Backlash (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Gvfs isn’t a stand-alone product, and whoever named GVFS had probably never heard of it — like 99.999999999% of people on this planet.

    Who the fuck is getting confused by GVFS vs Gvfs? Morons such as yourself? The tech world abounds with acronym collisions. Deal with it.

    You are a fucked-up moron. There are probably more Macs running Git with no GNOMEs in sight than Linux users running both Git and GNOME.

    And this has nothing to do with version numbers, so fuck off and die.

    Every VFS shares 75% of the name. It’s a term of art. Get over yourself or go fuck a rusty spike.

    What the fuck are you talking about? There’s nothing controversial about their name. Before this article, I had never heard of Gvfs, and I bet there are still millions of Git users who haven’t. I doubt that most GNOME usere would be able to tell you what it is.

  12. Re:Really really easy solution on Microsoft Sticks With Controversial 'GVFS' Name Despite Backlash (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Does Gvfs stand for Git VFS or Gnome VFS? Because I’d bet on the latter. MS named it GVFS because that’s what it is. The Gnome fans should pillory Linus for naming Git with a name starting with G.

  13. There's no objective measure of how much harm companies do by trading on your privacy. Who is RMS going to appoint to make the arbitrary decision, and who's going to pay him off to make the whole scheme pointless? Or more pointless than it already is?

  14. Re: Please stop on A Tesla on Autopilot Crashed Into a Parked Police Car (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    It will probably come as a shock to you, because you are dumber than a rock, but people get into driving accidents when autopilot is not involved. Engaging autopilot does not absolve the driver of responsibility to control their vehicle. The type of people reckless enough to let autopilot drive for them are also reckless enough to crash without autopilot installed in a vehicle within a 100 mile radius.

  16. Please stop using the term universal to describe a program that targets a relative handful of people.

  17. The app sounds more like Moovit, which is used to route through public transportation (generally buses and trains), than Waze. Are New Yorkers driving their cars in the subway now?

    You definitely deserve to be one of the dead. You're going to get dead children whether or not you have cameras everywhere. So leave off the Surveillance State so the living still have rights.

    I don't know if you really understand statistics, but you definitely don't really understand English. 15 to 30 percent means a minimum of 15% and a maximum of 30%. While I am sure both ends are guesstimates, the principle is the same.

    Think of it as an advertisement for a sale. When the ad reads "15-30% off!", it simply means that each individual item is discounted by some percentage between 15 and 30. It's not trying to imply a margin of error.

    The loser son is never going to have any money to pay for anything, much less his parents. I am sure they've learned by now not to rely on him for anything except fridge cleaning.

    What skills do you expect? Is the dad supposed to herd him to the curb at gun point? Maybe sneak up and bash his skull in and leave him for dead? Their son is a self-made loser. Being parents, they gave him way too many chances to turn his life around, and he refused every single offer or piece of advice. Sometimes, the mess is too big, and you have to hire someone to collect the trash.

    I didn't say any of that, you stupid pile of shit. Unless you think children are robots you know that your examples and teaching only go so far. The parents were too nice, and they suffered for it. But that doesn't mean that the son has no culpability. Are you one of those illogical shits who excuse serial killers because their parents didn't raise them right?
