Bleh. Apparently not caring what you do on other sites or even requiring any personal information isn't good enough for the state of Confusion^WCalifornia, so we have a shiny, new, temporary Privacy Policy posted on every page and linked at the top of the nav bar.
If you feel like prettying the language, layout, or whatever up before I get around to it, feel free to do so and submit a pull request.

I don't have any problem with the language: it says what it's gotta say and, strangely enough, reads in a voice that reflects this site. Nice and Aspergery!
My beef is why is it so huge? It's as big as the article titles, bigger than post text! It eclipses the neighboring fortune! Law say you gotta display it/link to it, not that it's gotta be in your face! Then again, with a privacy policy like soylentnews.org's, why not display it prominently?

Because I was too lazy to style it at all.

WOW! Lazy or not, you're fast! It's already reduced and styled nicely.

Minor changes to live templates are simple and fast. I haven't committed any code yet though.

Yup, what is in the codebase repo does not match what is actually being used. Good thing you're totally trustworthy *eyeroll*

If you've ever done live maintenance, that's just part of the job. Otherwise you end up spending so much time on synching with the repo that the job doesn't get done.
But here's the thing - if you don't trust him, why are you here? And what do you base your skepticism on? Anything specific, or just the "everyone lies" thing?
SoylentNews is social media. Says so right in the slogan. Soylentnews is people, not tech.

Go back to taking care of your eyesight, don't waste time on other people's arguments if you're too lazy or uninformed to properly participate.

I'm just enjoying myself a day off of church work. I had to pull several muscles to score it, so I plan on making the most of it by doing as little as possible.
On top of which, which branch production servers currently match up precisely with (dated release? a couple hotfixes beyond? emergency rollbacks? something usefully cosmetic but a dirt simple merge?) is not a fixed value in the real world.
