Re: Vertigo
Looks like the posts are notched and through bolted to the beam, so the junction won't "hinge" at that point (at least until something rots out), and with those wide deck boards running parallel to the main structure they're going to provide considerable resistance to the deck going trapezoid (at least until their fasteners start failing), so depending on the attachment of the beam to the joists that arrangement may not be quite as insane as it looks at first glance.
It's still not remotely right of course, but in terms of things that appear doomed to imminent collapse I've seen much worse... though it's going to be a looooooog ride down when something does fail.

(BTW, how are the roofing nails they used to attach the ledger holding up?)
