Sagacity posted:To be fair, a lot of services that The Internet relies on are horribly broken. The authors of OpenSSL tried and failed to get sponsors for multiple years until finally someone found an exploit and all hell broke loose. Yeah, but ESR doesn't help with any of them, and he isn't likely to do so any time soon. Last time he was relevant for programming was the 90s if that.

dude's poor as gently caress because he's an OSS true believer so it seems a little stupid to give him poo poo. e: the idea of him being "FYGM" is absurd as he has not "got his." Germstore has a new favorite as of 16:37 on Oct 20, 2015 |

He's a creepy rear end in a top hat who was last relevant to the wider world when Flash websites were the hot new thing. Dude doesn't deserve anyone's money. Like I get this is probably the first time you've heard of him or something but older folks remember that he used to be pretty well off and bungled at all. One of the things was that he got rich of tech stocks just before the bubble burst, refused to sell off as it happened, and eneded up with millions turning into thousands. So basically he gets involved with this company, VA Linux in the late 90s. As part of something he did with them they granted him stock options pre-IPO worth $36 million. Now by the time he can sell them months later after IPO, the stock has dropped a lot so the stock's only $5 million in value but he still coulda sold them then. Instead he finally ends up getting like $160,000 for that stock shortly before the company goes under.

Can't actually find any reference to ESR actually creeping on anyone, so I guess "creepy" is in reference to either him being polyamorous or pro-gun. In either case, get a grip.

Creepy is in reference to him posting about other races creep him out on an instinctual level but he's totally smart enough to get over it. And other stuff but the thing about calling saying people have feces skin is the main thing. Germstore posted:He's still active in the OSS community. I'm not sure what briefly being a paper millionaire has to do with anything. Only barely. Him being too drat stupid to use free money correctly the first time is a pretty good reason not to give him money on a gofundme when he also already has a patreon.

Alright, another weird wallet! This one comes in all different configurations, even one for your keys in case they're not cumbersome enough and you have only four of them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zafrdF-TsHU But I think my favorite is the version just for cards. You get to yank little ribbons to get to them so your wallet looks like it has tentacles once you find your debit card  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU7BMDfU8YY

Not true, Chris Roberts has always been part of Star Citizen and there's no bigger problem for SC right now than Chris Roberts without anyone to keep him on task. OTOH, Peter Molyneux is probably glad to see some other awesome-in-the-90s-worthless-now development figure get all the limelight after his Godus debacle.

I have had the misfortune of seeing him creep on women at conferences many times, chiefly the significant others of other attendees. See also his "nerd's guide to seduction" or whatever. We used to travel in the same circles, and he did not improve those circles. He wrote an essay that was popular for a while, but that's really the extent of his contributions. Fetchmail he took over from the original author after it was done, and the shitball he made of the curses stuff was embarrassing for everyone. He turned CatB into influence and nerd-fame, but never did anything useful with those things once he had them.

For kickstarters, not necessarily awful but interesting: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/donbluth/dragons-lair-the-movie What's interesting: 1) They are (realistically) raising money for the pitch, not for the movie, though you wouldn't know it from some peoples' reactions to this. You'd have to be insane to think you could make a hand-drawn movie on $550,000. 2) They are (wisely) making all the reward tiers completely unrelated to the actual movie product beyond super-pre-production, meaning they have to do nothing more than draw a few production stills and sculpt a few maquettes to meet their legal obligations in terms of actual movie content. Not good, nor bad, just interesting seeing a reasonably-big-money kickstarter going into this with a full bail-out plan if they never get even close to making a movie.

Shockingly, there were actually two different anti-Sarkeesian documentaries! One, The Sarkeesian Effect, feat. a Kane from C&C knockoff and some other guy, was actually released, though unsurprisingly very unsuccessful! The other documentary, Tropes vs Men in Gaming, was a quick dine and dash after raising like $25.000 on Kickstarter and never releasing a single video. But Sarkeesian is the scammer!

At least she has a photo of her with some happy black children, so we know she's not racist like Davis Aurini. I think whenever those two are mentioned, it's obilatory to link these two videos made by a Goon.
