Love this one — somebody is trying to rename "package.json" into "package":

No, he renamed it to "package: An Amazing Project.json"

[bad_user → bobbyi_settv]

OMG even better :-))

My mind did not parse anything after ":"

Windows doesn't even let you have a colon in a filename!

I suppose it is because the colon is used for NTFS alternate data streams, see the example in the introduction here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/stre...

Wonder if NTFS 'lets' you. I know the API does not let it. But I wonder if you could get it in a different way. I know you can sneak case sensitivity in here and there.

Think I shall go ruin a VM tonight... :)

Had a hell of a time downloading a torrent with a colon in the name.

You mean it was a pain in the colon? :)

[Zeturic → bad_user]

My favorite one I saw renamed "README.md" to "My Reading".

[bad_user → Zeturic]

Link, please :)

"An amazing project!" is going to part of dev culture for years, at least some circles.

Not even that, the file is actually renamed "package: An Amazing Project.json". Amazing indeed!

What’s this bitboxx? Somebody decided the spam PRs weren’t enough spam so they created a bot to amplify it?

This is my favourite trash PR
