The same kind of people who banished the word "meritocracy" from the posters in their office because it might be offensive towards diversity hires who couldn't compete on merit. GitHub, that's who.

Not quite. Windows uses a case insensitive API on top of a case sensitive file system. FUN FACT: As of 2017, Windows 10 is (partially) binary-compatible to Ubuntu Linux. Any application that was originally compiled for Linux will still be c

ISHYGDDT is 4chan slang. It's deliberately obtuse. You're not supposed to look it up, you're supposed to LURK MORE until you figure it out from context. Even if you do know what it stands for, that's still only half of t

The Sueddeutsche article claims that German customers were affected too. Most German banks I know of support TAN-generators[1] which are completely unhackable by any known methods. Insert your card, scan the barcode on your screen, confirm

It's a stupid meme, mocking the trend among Tumblr's sexually confused teenagers to put down "autism", or "zodiac", or "Sherlock Holmes" as their gender and insisting that everyone refer to them using

9gag has been caught time and time again using bots to just rip off whatever was trending on reddit's r/all feed (most obvious when they copy SubRedditSimulator, which is just a Markov Chain recombination of other trending posts).
