Hey, that is too old and I have done it without knowledge, it's my mistake and I apologized for all of them personally and publicly!

Here this app belongs to my college, it's my attendance and work is mine!

The first linked tweeter thread is from July 2018, the second is from November 2018. I don't classify that as "too old". And your article is dated October 25, 1028, so it's approximately the same period of time.

Also, your article is extremely similar to https://medium.com/@fs0c131y/how-i-found-the-database-of-the... (Oct 16, 2018)

That's the time I found the bug by the inspiration of "Elliot Alderson"

For example compare:

> Static Analysis

> From my phone, I exported the APK to my computer. I used the app called APK Export

> Play Store Link

> I used apktool to get the resources of the app.

> I used jadx to obtain the decompiled source code from the extracted DEX file.

> Now, I have everything I need.

----- with ------

> Static Analysis

> 1) From my phone, I exported the APK to my computer. You can use this app for example:

> [APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play]

> 2) An APK is a ZIP file, so I unzipped it and extracted the DEX file.

> 3) Thanks to jadx, I managed to obtain the decompiled source code from the extracted DEX file.

> 4) To finish, I used apktool to get the resources of the app.

> Now, I have everything I need.

You're still plagiarizing today:

https://gitlab.com/yo/hackathon-countdown/blob/master/js/ind...

is the same as

https://gist.github.com/iamkdev/6bcb79670f72ff346590#file-sc...

but you did not include his license.

The same is true for many other projects on your GitLab profile. Many of them are just snippets from Stackoverflow which you decided to turn into a repository with copyright in your name, for some reason.

I added now! https://gitlab.com/yo/hackathon-countdown/blob/master/LICENS... while exporting from codepen I can't find the license!

You've built an entire online presence by copying everything from other people's work - from your blog theme to your content "without knowing"?

Adorable.

Also, by briefly reading the docs on the "platform" you are trying to peddle, I'm getting fairly certain you also copied that as well, as it is too well written in comparison to the drivel on your blog.

In all fairness on that last point, if you're referring to his "Gitote" project, the author has stated here [0] that it was a fork of Gogs, and seems to have retained the proper copyright notices in the source files:

I agree it should probably have been given more prominent mention, but given the number of commits doesn't seem (at quick glance) to be a hasty "fork and rename".

It was accepted by the founder itself https://twitter.com/jc_unknwon/status/1066713466524848128

Please don't gang up on someone like this on HN. It's fine to challenge incorrect information, but not to aggressively humiliate them.

How does one plagiarize and attempt to profit off somebody else's work without knowing it?

It's ingenious to say you've apologized while at the same time saying you didn't knowingly do anything.

Even his other blog post are plagiarizing this Github Blog post.
