not scary at all

I have seen some juniors really shoot themselves in the foot with rebasing, and I’ve been there as well before. I agree it can be useful, but it definitely requires understanding of what is going on :P

When people do a bunch of bulk renames on every commit, then you get this kind of problem a lot. But yeah still not gits fault

POV: Your codebase undergoes a full refactor for every feature

Basically the idea is to separate your system packages and your applications.

The system packages are installed and updated “atomically” i.e. in transactions. If a transaction fails, results in a broken system, or you just don’t like it, you can rollback anytime.

Applications on the other hand are usually installed in a containerized form. Basically, flatpak. You should avoid installing applications through the system package manager.

CLI apps is where it all gets interesting, and usually people use distrobox, docker/podman or toolbx to run stuff in containers. Although the universal blue project comes with brew prepackaged for when you want CLI apps installed system-wide without juggling containers.

The benefit is that your OS and your apps are separate. No dependencies breaking or conflicting. And if something does break, well just roll back.

People inexperienced with git can get stuck after doing some funky checkout / rebase stuff. If you don’t know your way around git so well, I guess this is the obvious solution.

ngl this looks fake as hell

any idea what the re in grep stands for?

I’m not talking about bitcoin I’m talking about the creator of the video. And their talking points are very much libertarian.

They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don’t care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I’d say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can’t print money, that’s basically self-imposed austerity.

if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There’s no need to hype it up any more than it already is.

Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.

I’m still unhappy about it, because I don’t trust corporate interests in open and community-driven spaces like the fediverse. It’s never mixed well in the past.

I wouldn’t be surprised if BlueSky is soon “the easy way to follow people on Mastodon”

I would be even less surprised if they attempt an Embrace-Extend-Extinguish tactic within 5 years.

Don’t be evil

In a for statement, it often refers to index

I think they got the joke, they were just joking about how this is common in math :P

Pretty sure they are seals, not gophers.

according to the meme it’s just compiling, no other build steps… suspicious

why are you using three different distros to build a single application?

having a market share like that is a form of monopoly. It’s obviously different from absolute monopoly, but they wield too much power as is.

And to be fair, running games on linux without steam is definitely more tricky than without.

That’s still a monopoly. The article says it too, if you don’t put your game on steam, your sales suffer. It’s similar to how spotify has a monopoly on the music streaming market.

I’m not saying Steam is the worst thing out there right now. I’m saying monopoly is inherently bad, and 30% is a crazy high cut even including the features you mentioned.

Agreed, shitty read. The 30% cut is crazy high though, and IMO the best point the article has. Steam DOES have a monopoly and that’s inherently bad
