Re your off-topic aside, it looks more like that user has been tagged as verbose (whether that mean long comments or a high volume of posts isn’t clear).

I went in with the wrong kind of mocking in mind.

I don’t see that as a benefit tbh - if I have a dependency, I want to see why it’s there as part of the commit. I’m imagining running blame on Cargo.toml and seeing “Add feature x” vs “Add dependency”. I guess the idea is it’s “➕ Add dep y for feature x” but I’d still rather be able to see the related code in the same commit instead of having to find the useful commit in the log.

I suppose you could squash them together later, but then why bother splitting it out in the first place?

I see that some use a subset of Gitmoji and that does make sense to me - after all, you wouldn’t use all of them in every project anyway, e.g. 🏷️ types is only relevant for a few languages.

I went with Fedora on my VPS because I was also planning to use rootless Podman. Quadlets and running everything through systemd with SELinux enabled is working pretty well for me.

I looked at it and there’s a lot of them!

I see things like adding dependencies but I would add the dependency along with the code that’s using it so I have that context. Is the Gitmoji way to break your commits up so that it matches a single category?

No…?

The author has no idea how to get his audience on-side! He starts with bragging about his 6400% profit margin on domain he resold, in a market where there’s no customer value for middlemen.

At least antique dealers will identify pieces as rare, clean/restore them and put them for sale in a more visible place. Whereas domain reselling is about as ethical as ticket touting.

You have other options. You can use the separate search box. You can use smart keywords to only trigger searches when you want.

Why should it be relegated to a plug-in? It is a feature everyone would find useful because no-one speaks every language. Also, since Chrome has this feature, new users would expect to have it work without having to research which plug-in to use.

You might not want to use it, but some people don’t use Firefox bookmarks and you don’t hear them demanding that bookmarks be moved to a plug-in. It’s been a very long time since a browser was solely an HTML renderer, and while people were also against CSS and scripting at first, we’ve moved on.

“AI” has been used for many things for many years. The fact that the news is full of machine learning and generative AI doesn’t mean that it’s sensible to condemn anything using it.

Are you saying you’ve disabled searching from the address bar and instead load up whatever.com and then type your search into there? I don’t understand what you think you’re gaining by enforcing this extra step.

Are you informed about what they’re using AI for? One example is in-browser translations, which allows it to work offline and be privacy-respecting (no calls to Google, etc).

Longer means you’re more likely to be able to ride out a power cut, and gives you more options if you want/need to complete something more involved than saving and shutting down.

A general tip on buying UPSes: look for second hand ones - people often don’t realise you can just replace the battery in them (or can’t be bothered) so you can get fancier/larger ones very cheap.

That reminds me of Netflix’s Chaos Monkey (basically in office hours this tool will randomly kill stuff).

The commands are notoriously poorly named. The underlying tech is cool and sensible, the text interface isn’t.

Self-fulfilling nominative determinism right there.

Apparently UK universities need to teach how directories work to first year Computer Science students. They’ve grown up with polished, closed devices and many only know apps and the basics of using the internet.

I thought this was going to be a version of the penguin of doom copypasta.

I hadn’t heard of it, but it looks like it wouldn’t have much use outside of stalking or doxing.
