Looks like someone is uploading and organizing all of the information on GitHub. Stumbled upon it and haven't seen anyone mention it. Thought you guys might be interested. https://github.com/twitch-opensource There's no way this is staying up lol.

Just got taken down.

Actually in Twitch's codebase:

  OR replace($1,'_','') SIMILAR TO '%(hate|kill|keel|hang|burn|gasthe)%(black|bl4ck|black|jew|trans|gay|african|afrikan|minorit|asian|nig|n1g)%'
Twitch: "Hatred against Blacks, Jews, Asians, trans? BANNED! Hatred against Whites? I'LL ALLOW IT!"

I can't help but love the fact that PaymoneyWubby (a fat ginger nerd who makes interesting content, at least on youtube) makes more than pokimaine and Amouranth whose primary feature seems to be young, attractive, and female. Perhaps there's a tiny bit of justice in the world.

What's the justice?

Merit and effort can beat being a genetic lottery winner.

What's your beef with pokimane? She's a gamer.

Hi ya'll, I have a question. My wife and I can't wrap our brains around the fact that payment info was leaked alongside source code . Any theories how this happened? Former pentester btw. I saw a lot of interesting things during my time, but I can't recall seeing a payment database next to a source code repo. Did their s3 bucket get popped or something? Even if their github enterprise got popped, that doesn't explain…

Hardcoded database creds in code. Saw a post earlier with credentials to an rds instance. It said there were more examples.

The IP issues with the leak are interesting. There's got to be some Stack Overflow copy/pastes, perhaps some variable name changed license violating code, and I wonder if patent trolls or even rightful patent owners can now sue based on how backend code works in a way where they had no way to sue if they didn't know how it worked from interacting with a frontend.

The real fun begins when the leaked Twitch code makes its way into new SO answers for others to copy.

Or when GitHub copilot starts suggesting it lol.

... that does sound quite misogynistic. Like the sole comparisons you raise (and insult) are women.

I see your point but it's really just a fact of online life that you can make a lot of money as a woman on twitch. That isn't to say that all women streamers are exploiting that fact i.e. aren't making actual content, but it's simply (simp-ly?) a different calculus which I can't really blame anyone who can stomach it for exploiting.

According to this data, only 3% of Twitch’s top-earning streamers are women... so I don't agree.

Ridiculous.

That's being irrationally dismissive of the effort and merit it takes to win in an attention market in a particular way purely because of a personally biased judgement of value.

The real genetic lottery winner on Twitch is being a white male given the relate-ability to the majority of Twitch's audience, and as the data leaked supports.

I mean even consider the cost those creators have to bear of dealing with people who are constantly claiming that their success in somehow invalid.
