I basically only go there when DDG hasn’t indexed the Stack Exchange/Overflow Q&A I’m looking for.

Also decentralized SE/SO when?

Heh, cool.

Yeah I’ve seen this happen in real time. Maybe a little slower, but still inexorably.

A flawed democracy is still better than no democracy

It’s not over yet, friend. There are still things worth fighting for, and still so, so much more we could lose. Don’t give up hope.

I think you can disable taskbar notifications. Nice wallpaper :)

UNacceptable

I mean technically, but it’s not like it’s trying to be subtle about it. From the page:

I believe that Facebook represents one of the gravest threats to democracies around the world […]

The point is to discourage instances from federating with threads.

Love me some Steven Pinker. Should probably read one of his books. Does he do the reading of the audio books, does anyone know? He has lovely diction.

This is what I dislike about most historical dramas. They focus almost entirely on the pampered (thought no doubt dramatic) lives of the rich and privileged, and lettered, ignoring the great majority of humanity that 1) were engaged every day with the drama of survival, 2) did all of the labour that allowed for those frilly few to write their letters all day.

They’re both standard for the format of dates and times, like 2023-12-13 15:52:21. I guess one of them isn’t free, though? TIL.

wtf what is that gross

Meanwhile programmers will be like, fools, clearly 2(n) is a function 😏

Looks pretty neat. I like that it shows the commands it’s issuing!

Trunk based, eh? Yeah, we do that on a couple teams where I’m at, too. I like the philosophy, but force pushing the same commit over and over as you’re incorporating review feedback is antisocial, especially when you’ve got devs trying to test your changes out on their machines.

I’ve only tried the VS code hunk stager thing, and found it cumbersome compared to command line, but if you can make a GUI work for you ya go for it. I’ve never found it worth the trouble personally

Highly recommend throwing --patch on any git commands you’re used to using. You will have the prettiest, most atomic fkn commit, I’m serious people will love you for it.

I mean many people won’t care, but the quality folk will notice and approve.

The needs of the many call for it
