Well the rationale is that they were announcing live to the world (and therefore also the website owner) that “all your base are belong to us”. So instead of giving the website owner time to fix their flawed IT security they just deleted all the infected systems at the end of the talk (including some backups and admin accounts).
Well that’s probably true. I mean lots of stuff was obviously hacked and deleted, and if you trust the script output in the stream mostly from whitedate. child and deal are later off-shoots it seems, but date had like 6k users, some paying, the main project basically. And it’s still offline. And whitedeal shows a 2019 copyright notice. :D
There was an interactive map of the user profiles hosted by the hacker at https://okstupid.lol/ but it seems to be down right now. And the journalists who participated in the talk (and pointedly left before the script was run) announced there will be more articles released soon.
Could be the site owner is in the process of restoring access, the talk (and thus the deletion) happened on 29th of December.
Are they? For me the website has a Cloudflare captcha leading into a 404: https://whitedate.net/
After the talk it had a rick-roll embed for some time. :D

Many popular projects written in Rust, including the UUtils core utils rewrite, are MIT licensed as Rust is. There have been people that purposely confuse things by saying that “the Rust community” is undermining the GPL.
How would that ever be a problem in any case? I mean I’m not that versed in licensing stuff, but MIT explicitly allows sublicensing, so if in doubt just slap a GPL-sticker on the MIT code and you are good, no?
Ah I see, yeah I guess something like that would be possible. On the other hand it would be trivial to prove this happened even in the future as long as the government keeps a unedited copy of this repo.
While true, a git history is also easily protected against fabrication. Require cryptographically signed commits and prevent contributors from force-pushing to the public repo and you should be good.
In Germany there is a legally recognised form of volunteering called Ehrenamt (honorary office), mostly used by non-profit organisations. It has benefits for taxes, gaining public funding, and such. E.g. if you are the primary caretaker of an elderly family member you can get unemployment benefits without having to look for work, since it is recognised as a public good.
The petition aims to recognise work on Open Source software as such an honorary office.
Bash shell uses readline for this, which I would guess is the namesake of PSReadLine:

Benedetta Scuderi, an Italian member of the European Parliament for the leftist Greens-European Free Alliance group who has joined the flotilla, told Italian public radio RAI that drones had dropped stun grenades.
Well this is why probably. Can’t let one of your MPs get attacked, bit of a prestige issue when you just let that happen. Other quotes seem to go in that direction at least:
Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement the sea convoy had been targeted by “currently unidentified perpetrators”. He expressed the “strongest condemnation” of the incident.
He added the Italian multi-purpose frigate Fasan, previously sailing north of Crete, was “already on route” towards the flotilla “for possible rescue operations.”
An Italian official said the navy had been mobilised primarily to help Italians on board.
Note how they specifically avoid saying the boat is there to protect the flotilla.
Because they are fascists and the US fascists have been envisioning this expansion since at least 1940:
This lines up pretty much exactly with the all the territorial threats and claims Trump has made:
All on there. Not sure if I missed any, he threatened so many over the last year.
But yeah, they essentially envision an American continent dominated by the US in a Monroe doctrine on steroids, which Trump unironically called the “Donroe doctrine” the other day. They are telling you they are fascists to your face in every way short of actually saying the word out loud. It’s about resources and territory.
