#112Is that a move to obtain physical address of some people without the bad press of requiring it in their github account?

It reminds me of Google proudly boasting their headphone jack when Apple removed theirs, then OnePlus proudly boasting their headphone jack when Google removed theirs.
"No one buys phones with a headphone jack!" Yeah, cause you all stop offering them within one upgrade cycle! I just checked my carrier, and the only phones they offer with jacks are the lowest end Motos and TCLs.
And if waterproofing or size are issues, how about a second USB-C port?

Riddle me this, what was the cost to me in terms of trying? If I feel like treating this like the fun we used to have online, what is the point in sucking all the fun out of it by "going lawyer" on the conditions? If I get a CD (or even DVD), it will be a fun story to tell (like when I asked Schneier to write a true Schneier Fact as opposed to his signature when I ordered a signed copy of one of his books). If I get…
This attitude is why we don’t have these things. Increased risk profile, now they need to pass legal and finance, meetings are booked and cancelled, never seen again. Only way to slip them past is if you’re the primary shareholder or line item on the marketing budget.
Really? A cause of our societal decline is requesting a CD for a repository that is too big to fit on it? Call me a naive optimist, but I would like to believe that whoever is reading the form results on GitHub's end is more than capable to make the call within a few seconds as to whether they also would find some joy in the challenge the size poses or just ignore it and move on with their day.

Some poor intern is spending their summer burning CDs in a Redmond office building...
There are fully automated disc burner bots. EPSON models take 100 discs at once and burn up to 30 discs per hour, so 1000 discs is just 10 magazine load/unloads or 1: https://epson.com/Support/Other-Products/Discproducers/Epson...
That isn't a burner at all. It prints labels onto CDs.

You speculated wondering how they’ll manage it, I gave you an answer. If that ruined the fun for you, you may want to rethink how you say things on message boards.
you’re one of those people that actually needs /s tags, aren’t you?

#118Nice try, Microsoft. You ain't getting any of my personal data.

Some poor roofer is working 14 hour days in this ungodly heatwave. Burning CD's sounds like a pretty sweet gig.
Some poor underage girl has been trafficked in the Philippines since she can remember, and it is the only life she will ever know. Roofing 14 hours a day sounds like a pretty sweet gig. (See? Suffering is not a competition).
No but your little flame war is trying to be without adding anything new to the argument.

#120Initially I thought this was a useless/dumb idea. On reflection, I like it - it's weird. Old internet weird. Like someone with a couple hundred bucks and some time on their hands wants to do something they think is fun or funny... it feels human. I think we need more of this. Extra points for using a sketchy o365 form that looks like a scam.
I went to our pediatric ophthalmologist's office yesterday. There was another young person in the room, and our doctor asked if we mind if she's scribing.
When leaving I commented that I like that the doctor is using a human scribe and not an AI. Both of them were beaming.
Few weeks ago at a casual office gathering we were discussing given the choice do we hire an intern or get more AI credits. It was clear that hiring an intern is the right move for the industry, even if it results in an abandoned repo or two at the end of Summer. Especially now that AI shovel sellers have realized small teams are willing to spend on AI credits instead of $5000 a month on an intern, and are adjusting the prices accordingly.
All of these are more humane experiences we should not lose out on.
