Per the thread, it is on its deathbed.

Typing reddit.com/r/all in a browser will work until the rollout is complete.

No, it is clarified within the thread that /r/all will stop working “after the rollout is complete”

you can and should globally disable autoplay in your browser settings

Hi, I am that nerd, it’s Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open taskmgr, actually.

…I hope to be able to develop a similar level of nerd when I switch to Linux soon

More like slaughtering a perfectly healthy horse when all it needs is new horseshoes.

Yep, that’s the brainwashing!

In addition to what another poster said about getting an off-site backup hard drive, I would recommend looking into setting up a raid array for data redundancy with your online storage. You don’t want one hard drive failure to make all of your data inaccessible.

Most people don’t memorize things just by reading them. If you chose to construct some simple exercises/examples for yourself to learn by doing, this is very normal and in fact a good idea!

It’s actually a triple entendre.

Holy forking shirtballs

Bonus points for the cedilla

Hobbyist myself so no worries! Git is one example of source control / version control software. You normally have your local working copy of a repository and then a remote where you push your changes when they are finished or to share them with others.

What makes you think a server was involved here? It was a local repository, evidenced by the reporter’s bewilderment that files can be deleted without going to the Recycle Bin first. Which tells us that in addition to VCS, they were unfamiliar with Windows as well.

That’s definitely fair, creating a repository in a non-empty directory could definitely suggest auto-committing the current state if it doesn’t already. I don’t use VSCode so I wouldn’t know.

Although now that I think about it, that could have been the intention here but not automatic, if that’s why 5k+ files were staged without the user explicitly staging them. Extra tragic if that’s the case.

It’s changes from the prior commit in the repository, which, if they had not committed anything prior, would have been an empty directory.

This is perhaps a good lesson in teaching version control as its own concept rather than “streamlining it” by bundling it with an editor.

Not that I disagree with you that they are becoming more prominent, but I think we are also definitely still in the aftermath of ‘election time’

What… are they even doing with this
