He was using it as a seed box at one point which for many companies would be an embarrassing indictment of their security postute but luckily, this isn't exactly meta's first rodeo when it comes to illegal sharing of IP infringing material.

    Both HN and shitter are right wing polarisation machines. A guy who was a close friend of mine for years during university went full AI boomer and hangs out on those sites all day and when I recently spoke to him he was describing things as "libtard" and "woke" which 10 years ago would have shocked and appalled him...

Easy!

    I for one can't wait for non-deterministic package management
