If you're developing a FOSS project, be aware of cryptobros trying to PR a tea.yml into it.

full send!

LGTM!

He's probably interested in blocking these kinds of PR's.

He is now that people are spamming the high profile projects he used as examples in his "get paid" cryptobro scam videos and it's pissing people off in the FOSS communities hes trying to worm the project into.

Hilariously, he stated that he would be really unhappy if people were doing this to his actual FOSS projects, which makes me wonder why he didn't use them in his examples instead of the completely unrealted Node.js and ghost projects.

Its almost like he made himself getting rich someone else's problem. Totally unlike crypt bro behaviour, of course.

Lol classic reply from the monkey pfp "I didn't know, I'm sorry, please don't ban me, sir". These fuckers know exactly what they're doing seeing from how they obfuscated the pr purpose, and act all ignorant when caught. It's exactly the same behaviour game cheaters exhibit when caught red handed

Dude also used a LLM to generate descriptions for the packages he's serving from his package manager. And of course, it got them wrong, creating a headache for the actual package maintainers

I do like the idea of streamlining donations to open source projects directly through a package manager, and crypto seems like a good fit for that (decentralized, uncensorable). The issue here seems similar to knowing what charities are properly using funds; making a system to make decisions about how to spend money is hard when there's so many people looking to misdirect it to themselves, and the point of this would be to relieve the people who would be donating the money from putting effort into doing the research themselves, so that big problem has to be solved.

I've heard that one so many times it's not even funny.

I assume it's because they don't just want to count owners but also maintainers. How do you count maintainers? Does one accepted PR count? If not, how many? Counting owners only that would be fine though.

I greatly respect the way Vietnam has put things like stable rice prices over Western money. As far as I understand it, this allows for a society where nobody lives in abject poverty. But it also prevents people from getting rich quick by milking their own people. So if I got all of this right, it's not surprising that some people encountered the idea of getting rich quick through the Internet and try that now.

Ive seen an uptick in twitch users offering graphics packs for streamers.
I presume some company has figured out the prompts to get AI generated emote packs, and now hire people to offer this service randomly to small/medium streamers.

@CrayonRosary having a pull request merged is in no way a proof of ownership of the repo, or a sign that the owner wants to participate in this scheme. There are better ways to prove ownership. It's relatively easy to slip in some file unnoticed, or falsely explain during the PR process what the file represents. So choosing this way of validation is a huge red flag about the whole scheme. It motivates people to falsely claim ownership of popular repos.

That's a patently ridiculous statement

Brief history of YAML:

"Oh no! All of these configuration file formats are complicated. I want to make things simpler!"

(Years go by)

"...I have made things more complicated, haven't I?"

YAML is generally good if it's used for what it was originally designed for (relatively short data files, e.g. configuration data). Problem is, people use it for so much more. (My personal favourite pain example: i18n stuff in Ruby on Rails. YAML language files work for small apps, but when the app grows, so does the pain.)

What? I love having 20 ambiguous ways to express the same data with weird and unexpected conversion rules. JSON is so much worse - if data types are explicit and obvious, how can I properly express my feelings when writing a config file?

And what would your ideal, legible, general-purpose data markup language be? XML?

I see you get downvoted a lot. But as a norwegian that repeatedly have run into the norwegian problem when trying to use some program... i see you.

Does this mean docker compose files are bad?

Are you excluding women from being a bro? That's kinda sexist of you.

...are you gatekeeping scam lore?

Btw, "cryptobro" is a sexist term that excludes women.

We can start calling them "cryptoclowns".

Cryptosiblings

The person responsible for this is a man...

Btw, "cryptobro" is a sexist term that excludes women.

I'm usually that person getting downvoted for insisting on inclusive language so I totally get you, but girl I've never met a cryptobro who wasn't a man.

You saying cryptobro is sexist just reinforces your own stupidity.

Hilarious well done
