Finally managed to get a npm package that gets all green chips on @SocketSecurity 🥳 The hardest part was to get the weekly downloads to 50k-60k, so it wouldn't be flagged as unpopular. The rest was pretty easy since the package has zero dependencies.

Counterpoint:
Microsoft has never made a good product. Windows is absolutely dogshit - its only use case is to play video games but even then just get a playstation. Github is kinda cool but they didn't make that. HoloLens sucked. At one point, Microsoft did sponsor me and sent me their best laptop + headphones. They fucking sucked. Also who uses Azure?

The nice thing with roman numerals is that they are in alphabetical order, but only up to 8. It's a good way to prevent you from exceeding version "_final_VIII" because only chaos can come after that.

Academia isn’t about fame, or money, or approval. It’s about downloading as many pdfs as you can before you die

The inevitable VB6 resurrection is upon us but this time running everywhere (Desktop, Mobile, Web and TVs) and using #csharp #dotnet #xaml #avalonia #fluent #basic

35 years after its release, @dogplayingtris just became the first person to get the NES Tetris rebirth. He made it all the way to level 255, then the game wrapped around and restarted from level 0.

All files are text files if you are computer savvy enough

There are currently bots (sometimes compromised accounts) posting answers to newly created issues on GitHub. Hopefully, @github acts quickly to block these since it's targetting unexperienced developers that might think this malware is actually going to solve their problem!
Oh great, malware links embedded in @GitHub issue comments 🙄

It shouldn't be the job of OSS maintainers to prevent this malware spamming, but until GitHub figures out something to make it stop, I've made a small automated action that removes suspicious links from issue-comments. github.com/marketplace/actio…

Seems like the situation is back under control (for now). Less than 50 issues based on the search query above (most of the hits are from comments replying to the original malicous comment that has been deleted since).
