GeForce Now already works on browsers. It requires Chrome or iOS Safari (I suspect this one was the driving force behind it due to apples app store rules). Just go to https://play.geforcenow.com/ and it shows you what to do...


Seconding the suggestions that you may be able to turn your history into an asset in the right hands. It might be worth taking a look at some of the IT suppliers for the prison system. Unilink are one I am aware of - they do self serve kiosks that are in use in a number of prisons in the UK for stuff like canteen orders and visit booking. They look to be recruiting at the moment as well, so getting in touch can't hurt! https://www.unilink.com/vacancies/


Anecdotally if I’m collaborating/helping a newer programmer with python, I can tell if they are using and have only used PyCharm. PyCharm users never seem to understand virtualenvs or requirements.txt. Collaboration with pycharm users at that level always gets frustrating as they seem to routinely fail to update requirements.txt - as their setup isn’t using it and it isn’t easy for them to do


> We will pay you with exposure...


> The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today.

I get the impression this was part of the intention...


You can report news from everywhere without a 14 story building ... Do they have offices in every single city in the world?


They weren't the only media organization in the building, and I presume they do indeed have offices in cities where major news repeatedly breaks.

There's an undercurrent in your comment of blaming AP for having a presence in Gaza, yet this was not an accidental strike. AP says that Israel gave them advance warning of the attack.

They were still streaming live right after the building blew up... it doesn't take much equipment to do it nowadays... here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-upyPouRrB8


They don’t mean because of material damage, it is due to the clear signal sent that Israel is willing to use military action against the media. obviously this is going to reduce the coverage as not all journalists are willing to risk their lives to cover a story.


> They don’t mean because of material damage,

I think he did in that case, but of course it causes psychological damages among other things....


Now swing it the other way. Only harvest organs from those guilty of crimes. Would that make you less likely to commit crimes, knowing that your organs will be harvested?


I saw that video as well and what struck me was that the treadmill detected a jam, reversed direction briefly (almost completely freeing the kid) and then resumed normal running (sucking the kid back in). In what world is it reasonable to have that sequence happen on a treadmill a person is running on with no human input?


Go's UI tooling is... not great. It's more aimed at server side and CLI usage. In those niches it is awesome though


> Go's UI tooling is... not great.

Hopefully https://gioui.org/ quickly fixes that.


Have you considered writing an ansible playbook to set all that up? You could even have it pull down the backup and do a full restore for you...


Normally I don't support going to peoples employers for shit they do outside of working hours, but I am willing to bet that some of those fucknuggets were using work email addresses/accounts. If I was their boss I would want Kat/Github to reach out and let me know about this.

By using their work accounts, they are stating that the company condones their behaviour - and I suspect that isn't the case in the majority of cases. I would definitely want to know if any of my employees were engaging in this shit so I could explain in very simple terms why it is unacceptable - because they clearly don't get it on their own.


I went through a couple of these GitHub usernames, they are all first deleted, but there's some presence in other sites, and it's clear that none of them likely hold a regular job in any place of consequence. One of these accounts seems to spend time finding other female GitHub accounts and making condescending PRs while another was busy on far right subreddits crapping on various groups of people.


Do yourself a favor and don't contribute to another history of $regular_dude who got fired/life ruined because his account/name was similar to someone else's in the Internet.


when has that happened before?


It’s pretty stupid to use a work account for personal stuff, I even have two brokerage accounts because of this attitude.

But using a work account to harass someone is a completely new level of stupid.


I wonder the consequences of having an account blocked or suspended if your employer used Github. And including your employer to an account you used for harassment would not, I think, be unfair grounds for "disciplinary action".


I don't know why people do this, but to figure out how to stop it, we need to understand it, don't we?

How?

How about, if any employer wants to hold one of these employees to account, how about requiring they make a video apology that begins with an admission of what they did, and an explanation of what was going on in their mind when they did it?

Anonymise the subject and make it public?

Give it to university psych departments for study?


In the US at least that makes them a liability ticking time bomb to an employer, especially if they go beyond mere "asshole jokes" like the bloat removal which deletes everything. Since if the employer got involved in a discrimination or sexual harassment lawsuit later knowing about it makes them look very willfully negligent and complicit in a lawsuit. The ironic thing about it being for a "wrong reason" is that the incentive doesn't depend upon character of the employer.


Just fire their ass, and walk them to the door. Simple. Of course, lock their internal accounts first.


Sure. And then fire them.


I think they should suspend access (with right to appeal) to all of their employer's repos until they address their employee problem.


Normally I'm not racist but...


This is a false equivalence. You should directly explain why this is bad, rather than pointing to another similar bad thing.


It is encouraging d̶o̶x̶x̶i̶n̶g̶ finding identifying information of that person and using it against them.
