Why do two languages get mistaken for one another?
Isn't it kinda obvious that people aren't particularly good at recognizing languages they don't know? Obviously, this affects all languages.

Why Git Has a Variable Named false_but_the_compiler_does_not_know_it_
Reply in thread
You could say that the current way is so unclear that the guy had to write a 2 thousand word essay to explain it.

Well well well.
Seriously, once you commited something to the repo it's hard to lose it. Unless you delete .git. But a this point frequent pushing has your back.
I know git can be hard to grasp in the beginning. It was hard for me too. I highly encourage everyone to put in the effort to understand it. But if you don't want to do that right now just use it. Just commit and push. It will pay off.

Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social

Wow, thanks for posting this. I actually considered switching to PieFed because people say a lot of good things about it but now I know I won't. I can't treat codebase like this seriously.

I would probably fall in love if I got to hear a 30 minute, passionate info dump on a date.

Am I missing something? Empty house and pizza sounds like a perfect evening to me.

I need to vent about plastic milk jugs
Aren't moulds manufactured to incredibly high precision? I can't imagine them having imperfections big enough to cause visibly different fill levels.
However, my only qualification is hundreds of hours of watched How It's Made episodes so I might be completely wrong.

I had no idea what this word is supposed to mean after the first mention. But when reading it in context it immediately clicked.

Since the review doesn't mention any downsides I'm gonna go ahead and share one. This might seem like a tiny thing but relatively slow startup turned out to be a total deal breaker for me. In my workflow, I open and close a lot of terminal windows. Sometimes I spawn terminals just for a few seconds to run a single command and then close them. Kitty and Alacritty launch instantaneously whereas Ghostty has a noticeable lag which was just infuriating to me. Also, it doesn't have any useful (for me) features not present in Kitty so yeah, I guess it's not for me.

why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoption
This is what always comes to my mind when someone mentions Enlightenment: https://web.archive.org/web/20230424121033/https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/15001/enlightened. Might provide some answers too.

Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features
Reply in thread
That's not true. Google Pay (or Wallet?) doesn't work on GrapheneOS. NFC and contactless payments work perfectly fine. You can use Curve Pay or in Poland BLIK via bank apps.

They asked
How could you calculate her height from the photo without her whole body being visible? You can't just "scale" it using the phone as a reference because there is no measurement to scale. Am I missing something or is this bullshit?

Please stop asking for One Single Linux Desktop or Distro
Reply in thread
I don't think it's a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it's not more popular.

I would say NixOS might be even more cultish. I am a part of that cult.

My Android phone has apparently leaked the list of all the apps plus browsing history I've ever installed via DNS?
Reply in thread
The contents of proton pass are end to end encrypted
That's precisely why they can't do the scan from their servers. They don't know the domains - they're decrypted only on your device.
this has caused my whole vault to be leaked to public DNS servers via unencrypted UDP
I feel like this is a tad dramatic. Surely, your vault contains more data, probably more sensitive, than just domain names.
