We both know systems are more complex than # of downloads. In this case, the ban was a sign of weakness the establishment of the government and Github and definitely their control was weakened, which is the opposite of their goal of maintaining control, so it did not have the desired effect.

Well banning it pushed it to Radicle and now people are moving to GitHub alternatives so I think the Streisand effect worked.

I'm reading the code for this and I'm like yeah it doesn't scale. Like forget about debugging this code, does anybody even know what it is doing?

This is how you end up with gstack. When you believe too hard in secret metrics because when people know about metrics it stops working you inflict psychosis chasing correlations that don't mean anything.

People said AI was going to replace all programmers, yet AI can't even maintain a x64 macOS port of Java.

There are alot of scripts out there that attempt to disable Windows Updater and Windows Defender (this is protected by Windows Updater so you have to turn off Windows Updater first). However a little known service called WaasMedicSvc will turn this back on. This is the first script that disables WaasMedicSvc before disabling Windows Updater and Windows Defender, finally permanently disabling Windows Updater and Windows Defender.
