Dear Lazyweb, Due to dumbasses squatting me, I'm gonna need you to go click "thumbs-up" or "stars" or whatever on this repo so that it bubbles up to the top of the list in search results: https://github.com/xscreensaver-official/xscreensaver Thank you in advance for this utter fucking waste of everyone's time. https://jwz.org/b/ylB0

    @jwz@mastodon.social You made me log into github. Be sorry. JK. I gave it a star or whatever. It's a shame you have to deal with that crap. Also, I did not know you authored xscreensaver. I've used it on and off for years. Or maybe I knew at some point and forgot. At any rate, thanks for your work. Some of us appreciate it.

    @jwz@mastodon.social Done. Can you do a trademark thing to the other one? Or no?

    Good lord, this guy is completely unhinged. I'm tapping out. My one precious life is too short to spend arguing with internet tough-guys. (Remember when I said that I thought he wasn't acting with malice, but was merely making terrible naming decisions? I guess I was wrong.) https://github.com/xscreensaver/xscreensaver/issues/3#issuecomment-6304214106

    @jwz@mastodon.social It the unlikely event you can be arsed spending even more time on that bullshit, you may want to "verify" your github org by linking it to your domain name: https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/verifying-or-approving-a-domain-for-your-organization All this does is add a green "verified" tick next to the org's name, which I'm certain you don't give two shits about... but it may help convince people that there is indeed no official xscreensaver repo.

    @jwz@mastodon.social I'm amazed your non-repo has been forked 27 times already. How many of the forks are human-made, I wonder?
