They even have a portal that publishes this information specifically, with statistics, and many notes as to why a specific change has been made: https://udd.debian.org/patches

Yes, people do terrible things by neglecting their moral duty to actually think things through. This is a very basic known truth.

Sure, I can agree with that too. Although I think 3rd party outrage is much worse, and borderline infantile.

I completely agree with you. I just want to point out that the actual software author here is not being aggressive about it. They make a request and that's it. Nor are the other 55 contributors visible on github. "we ask (but not

You are presuming this is their primary concern. Releasing software with a permissive license is a pretty strong signal you are ok with people not doing exactly as you ask.

That's clear. It all comes down to their behavior. Will they sit there waiting to finish this download, or just start sending other requests in parallel until you dos yourself? My hope is they would flag the site as low-value and go lo

The idea is to trickle it very slowly, like keeping a cat occupied with a ball of fluff in the corner.

I am ignorant as to how most bots work. Could you have a second line of defense for bots that avoid this bomb: Dynamically generate a file from /dev/random and trickle stream it to them, or would they just keep spawning parallel r

I have done similar. It is pretty easy, you just have the slider update the input, that is used for the actual calculations. If I ever get past looking and actually download, I will do it.

I too agree this is great, and see space for another low-hanging UI tweak: Allow editing numbers to right directly, instead of only using the slider. I really dislike using sliders beyond a first general impression because it is too slow to

You are reading too much into it. If I study runners, I should presume the study will apply to those who don't run should they become runners, unless I have evidence otherwise. All the more since many runners were once non-runners. It&

So the fight needs to be to make things universal and fair, not to do away with everything. I agree there are many attempts to throw elections in the US, but I also think unreasonable resistance to measures that make a lot of sense on many

I did not say 'is', I said 'was'. I have not seen studies or even many anecdotal stories indicating people think it was too hard for they themselves to vote. I have seen a lot of people saying that about other people, bu

It shouldn't be that hard for you to show some evidence things would be different then. There is nothing indicating a stronger preference to vote has anything at all to do with which direction you lean. More and less does not equal rig

That an enormous sample size. Statistically a complete participation should be very close, so the burden of proof lies with those who claim it would be different. Regardless of whether Trump would have won or not, that is a clear indication

This has to be a clumsy attempt at a willfully deceptive comment, right? The aggressor starts the war, but the defender will not sit by idly. They must fight back. Do you somehow think only China will do this? The US is about to get its com
