Riley Oh what was in it? Lina Twitch. - Riley Yeah but what leaked? Twitch did. Yes. The whole thing. (Riley laughs) - Yesterday an anonymous 4 Chan user posted a torrent for a 125 gigabyte file containing the entire source code for the Twitch website

Of course many users are also reporting that their new Windows 11installations are running fine just fine and we're as happy for them as we are for the surviving
