Anytime a CEO does something questionable; "/ping user4616250"

A musician needs to write a catchy tune to put the name to so people will remember the numbers.

Headquarters seems to be:

70 White Lion Street, London, England, N1 9PP

To send all your angry letters too.

I've read it is still well valued because people will keep asking questions there when LLM can't answer, so they remain a precious source of post LLM curated Q&A.

A connection I may be inventing comes to mind: all the CEOs making million dollar donations to the new administration in the US.

Basically, show you’re on the side of “law and order” and hope you’re not caught up in any purges.

That's not what the article is about. Stack Overflow has kept content that Luigi created up, but removed his username, in violation of Creative Commons. Edited the post to make that more clear.

No, they're terrified of us now, they know we tasted blood and are hungry for more.

Man I sure wish this'd mean all Trump-generated content and speeches got deleted. That'd be genuinely helpful to the world at least...

Can’t have a “terrorist” demonstrating his competence and productivity after all.

The overlords know they’ve really fucked up when the competent, productive people start getting resentful and side-eyeing the system.

I also stopped posting there years ago for much the same reason. You could feel the strangulation of the community as duplicate questions started getting shouted down, posts got turned into "community wikis" against your will and your own questions started getting edited to better fit someone else's plans and ideologies. The company was sold shortly after, so maybe animals can sense their pending extinction (some of them anyway)?

I miss those days when writing an answer genuinely felt like helping to grow the global community of friend developers. It's a shame no technology has been discovered that will let the small amount of collective good in us all work together against the assholes, but alas it seems the opposite is always true.
