Lawfare? This is literally how defamation works.

If someone said on the Internet said that rs999gti was a "tax-evading, pyramid-scheming, mullet-wearing, karaoke-ruining, ferret-hoarding, snake-oil-selling, cereal-with-water-eating, grammar-mangling, table-manner-less, engagement-ring-pawning, salad-dodging, traffic-cone-stealing, apology-dodger," and it wasn’t true, I think you’d probably like to sue them and take their money too.



Practically all published judicial material is a public record (although only under the 1st Amend, generally not under FOIA laws).

The problem is that a great number of state courts (which is the majority of courts in the USA) use shitty outdated systems and don't have Internet access to their records. Or they heavily restrict access to only attorneys.

The records are public, though, so if there is some specific you want, you can get it. It just might take some effort.


It's actually fascinating the number of times that the dissent will later become the law after culture changes.


That was on purpose. There was a lot of issue-closing on GitHub. Especially MAUI which got a ton of bug fixes.

MAUI looks really good in theory, I’m curious to hear about anyone’s experiences and thoughts about using it in production.

I've written 3 apps in MAUI with 2 in production.

The 2 apps in production are MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps. The learning curve was very small since I already was familiar with C# and Razor syntax after having built many C# server-side rendered web apps. Development is quite rapid since it's essentially using web technologies. For my use cases, the users do not care about the app looking native as these are B2B apps. Both apps are deployed in the 2 major mobile app stores and 1 app is also deployed in the Microsoft Store.

The 3rd app was an internal-only Android app built with the UI written entirely in C# instead of XAML. I chose to write the UI in C# instead of XAML primarily just for fun and to see how that would work out. I ran into a lot more issues using native UI when it came to me wanting to customize things, such as removing an annoying bottom text underline/border that is added by default to Entry (textbox) controls.

I'll probably never build another native UI app if I have the choice and will stick to MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps because it is so much faster to create the app using web technologies (HTML/CSS).


The DigiD app in the Netherlands, used by almost every citizen to log into government and government-related services (taxes, social security stuff, message box, seeing your own data, portal of local municipality, etc etc etc) is written in Xamarin Forms and is now written in MAUI for a while. It even made Hacker News a while ago due to the progress indicator!

Bitwarden moved away from MAUI IIRC maybe you can search about that

Yeah, these posts are totally wild. The amount of work that goes into them blows my mind.

You can do the exact same thing, with a nearly 100% exact user interface in the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 that came out yesterday.

I've been building desktop apps like this for 30 years. I still build them every day and the designer looks no different today.


I did not know that, thank you.

I guess the windows pc I have won’t be exclusively for gaming anymore!


The VB6 Winforms builder here is almost 100% identical to the Winforms builder in the latest release of Visual Studio 2022 that came out today.

I use it for hours every day to just drag and drop a few components onto a form and add some logic and have a little desktop app up and running in a few minutes.

I (sadly) code in C# since 2021, because the support is better, but I honestly believe VB.NET was superior because of the increased readability of the code.


I look at, say, the war in Ukraine, where they have a fresh supply of planes from allies, but their roster of pilots is diminishing. In this situation the pilot is far more valuable than the plane. And probably always the case during war when aircraft production is at a maximum.
