okay see I was in favor of what he did but his politics were kind of incoherent so I couldn't jump on the 'idolize this man' train.
I guess now I gotta.
Guess he's slipping. He didn't even solve 1% of the healthcare bugs.
He's like a real life, "most interesting man in the world".
He also filmed hours of professional quality porn of himself (with partners).
I mean, dude clearly had a unique mind. Not necessarily smart or dumb, but something that made him tick also led him to commit (one of) the most popular acts of murder in American history.

There's the news article. The source is one of his friends who claimed to know about the videos. But the videos aren't public.
:(
Better free him so he can fix the UI in Civ7
… I legit know folks at firaxis, I didn’t know this.
I’m gonna ask if it’s true lmaoo
It says he worked an an intern and it was several years ago. I know the meme is fun, but I highly doubt that if he were not under arrest that he'd have been working on Civ 7 UI.
But that's the problem. He fixed the bugs in VI but wasn't around for VII
I know it's only been 20 minutes, but any answers?
I updated the comment with an answer
DAAAAAMMMN! OP delivers & sends a reminder!
Thanks!
So far I’ve gotten a eye roll emoji in response lol
Lol, sounds like they've been asked before

Remember then the media was calling him a Techbro instead of a tech worker? Yeah, he was never a Techbro.
They tried everything... It didn't work
Bootlickers eventually fell inline but anyone paying attention saw right through the bullshit.
Anyone with basic vidya game exp knows that you re going the right way when you get this many enemies having a melt down on teevee and socials
Maybe I misunderstand the context of the term but I never viewed them as mutually exclusive. There are toxic "bro" type devs who are still actually good devs (doesn't excuse being an ass though). I never viewed it as meaning someone who doesn't code "for real" but maybe I'm misusing it.
For me, "Techbro" exclusively refers to people who repackage existing ideas and sell them as an innovation to VC investors. Think of how many techbros keep reinventing trains and boats, but worse.
I picture those who didn't embrace geek culture or esthetics, leaning more towards jock and fraternity culture instead, but who saw money in computers.
I've always seen it as meaning the type of douche who would pitch anything to YC
a true patriot would organize a team to break this guy out of jail.
The best outcome of this situation is jury nullification. If the jury nullifies, we'll have proven the law does not prosecute heroic deeds of this caliber. It would be the biggest blow to capitalism in generations.
"he who saves his country has committed no crimes"
i threw up in my mouth a bit quoting trump, but throwing their words back at them is always satisfying.
If it makes you feel any better, Trump was quoting Napoleon.
You can tell he was quoting someone else because the sentence makes grammatical sense
Everyone who fights the British is redeemable in some way, but no, that's not a whole lot better.
The guy who tried to take over Europe was arrested and banished (to run a tropical island, so like most rich and powerful was given a super kushy "punishment" that's more like a forced retirement), returned and tried to take over Europe a second time and was banished again (this time to an actually unpleasant island off the coast of Africa under active guard) might not be the best person for trump to be quoting in this context...

I have been shouting this from the rooftops since I heard what happened. So many people think you have to punish someone if they are proven guilty... not true in the USA. The jury can decide he is not guilty for whatever reason they want. They can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he did it and the jury can still let him go. So many people don't know this.
Also a great way to get out of jury duty is to mention this during the selection process, they will boot you 100% of the time if you know this.
The problem is that if you try to get on a jury to do this then you're usually probably committing perjury. They typically ask questions somewhat related to it without outright using the phrase.
Definitely true. I would perjure myself to get Luigi off the hook though. He is a hero not a criminal. He had the balls to kill that piece of shit, I can have the balls to tell a white lie to get him out.
