Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).

It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.

Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊

In systemd it would be optional. This post is about the OS making it a requirement to ask the user birthdate and using said optional field to store it.

So, you can say, it’s something else? 🤔

None of what you said makes any sense.

This is the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer denouncing vaccines because they feel that their herbs are close enough to real medicine. 🤦‍♂️

Don’t do that. Syntax absolutely matters.

That’s not JSON. Note the use of equal signs for the property names. That’s something else.

It’s been a hot minute, but wasn’t what you’re referring to done by a third-party app? The original consoles had no real concept of a mouse by default, let alone copy/paste from highlighted text. Any highlighting inside an app (e.g. vi/m) was buffered by the app and not the OS?

The issue this is referring to is because the user cannot paste into a text field. And the user was not rude about it either.

So instead of fixing the actual problem, the developer went nuclear and removed the validation. A dick move in my opinion given the developer’s attitude.

~It’s more sad than funny. 🤷‍♂️~

It was down earlier today. Came back up right around when I posted this.

It’s all subjective and based on your personal level of interest. From a technical standpoint the time needed is based on how fast your computer can compile everything, how fast you read and understand the instructions, and how much effort you want to put into it.

So yeah, a weekend could be reasonable.

Or they’re bored. I’ve done Linux From Scratch before. It’s fun. It’ll teach you a lot about building and maintaining a distro.

Do it. Take a weekend, and indulge yourself.

Ahem.

That just made this 1000x funnier. Thank you!

Oh god. That is so me. Always with the “if only” mentality. If only ________ then I could do ________.

And of course, it never gets done. 😅

This is the equivalent of a woodworker building jigs and other tools with their thousands-of-dollars of equipment.

Source: me. I do this. 😬

If you haven’t already found it, you need to change your global git config (~/.gitconfig):

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

(or whatever you want to call it; e.g. daddy would work too)

For any existing repositories you want to run the following command in the existing repository root (./.git/config):

git config set init.defaultBranch main

Color me curmudgeon, but automated dependency updates should never be a consideration.

Also, one thing I do like that Github does is that it can be configured to send you a report of dependency changes (in yarn, for example).

When I see these generation-hating comments — specifically older generations hating on something the younger generations do — I can’t help but think about whose fault it is for whatever slight the older generation feels.

Who created digital clocks? Who created iPads and iPhones? Who created video games? Every single generation has their own slang that each previous generation fails to understand (not because it doesn’t make sense, but because the previous generations are too lazy and/or stubborn to learn).

I put my ticket numbers in my tickets, but i also try to describe the change too (e.g. “Fix bug where xyz happens due to zyx action”). Also, atomic commits: commit only related changes.

Yes, it takes longer to commit large changes, BUT you can easily merge the commits, and rollback only what needs to be rolled back.
