«I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). […] You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it.»

Anyone else getting these ridiculous repo scraping spikes? A clean checkout of the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo is ~370MB. Over the past 14 days there were 222k clones (only 117 unique) of this repo which have caused downloads of a whopping ~78TB. WTF! 🤯

Dear Tender Greens of Century City:
All I asked was to replace the mashed potatoes & bread on the Short Rib plate w/ a small side spinach salad.
Because I'm #diabetic.
Your manager said 'no': Order something else. Repeatedly. Despite having done this 5-6 times before.
Goodbye

Heh, got pitched based on my Quamina open-source GitHub repo on behalf of “Fabinvest” which turns out to be a PE fund owned by Qatari royal Jassim Al-Thani. A polite and restrained pitch, not pushy or scammy.
There’s too much money in the world and its owners are increasingly desperate in their search for a place to invest it. I suppose prospecting popular GitHub repos is less crazy than other things that I see going on.
