    Hexbear is full of fake hackers and communist authoritarians who manipulate crypto and think it’s all a scam. I’ve seen people on there bragging about stealing NFTs

    Using git for drafting laws and legal documents is actually cool and good and something that should be standard. Dumbass lawyers are still doing M$ word highlighting to keep track of who edited what. Doing it publicly though on github and over a crypto bill is dumb and dumber.

    For those of you who don't know: git is more or less built on blockchain technology except all the blocks are free so its actually super useful.

      I agree with this but I am not even sure it is a bad thing it is public, I can't really see a good argument why drafting legislation needs to be secret unless I'm missing something obvious here.

      The only assumption is that maybe public attention would affect the process but isn't that the point of "democracy"?

        Doing it for something intrinsically stupid like this reinforces the norm that we don't expect to be able to freely comment on legislation as it's developed.

        Haven't thought about this much, but I suspect using git there's a similar problem that occurs in other public areas:

        The cranks with the most free time could be the loudest voice and exercise outsized influence against the public interest. This is what happens in municipal councils all the time.

        The only problem with drafting it publicly is its open to sabotage, as seen here.

      I'm seeing git and git-like version control catch on more and more and I'm here for it, I love it because it helps me learn more how to use git and everything is improved because of it.

    Limit on slurp juices per ape #63

    As we all know, one of the greatest issues facing this country today is the usage of multiple slurp juices on a single ape. We need to consider reasonable limits on slurp juice. We can not allow such spurious usage of our limited slurp juice reserves, even if you can create 3 new apes from one astro ape

      I love the one reply, which is just "Calling bitcoin a ponzi scheme is actually incorrect 💅 Would you like to know more?"

          and his response:

          pointing to a cryptoshill piece saying 'aktually, its only a Ponzi scheme if it comes from the Ponzi region of France' is besides the point. Sparkling financial fraud is still bad and should be criminal and prosecuted.

      Those are the commands GitHub lists when you create an empty repository, followed by the text of the bill. It seems incredibly likely that someone pasted something they didn't mean to, then appended the source text.

      In fact, I'd be willing to say that what happened was

      1. Copy text of bill to clipboard
      2. Create repo
      3. Copy new repo instructions to clipboard
      4. Google "how to clipboard terminal"
      5. pbpaste >> RFIA (or xclip or whatever)
      6. "Oh, fuck wrong thing"
      7. Copy text of bill to clipboard
      8. pbpaste >> RFIA
      9. Commit and take lunch without actually checking.

      Where a >> b appends the output of a to the end of file b, while a > b would truncate file b and then write the output of a to it (the desired effect).
