Sometimes you feel old. Sometimes you feel even older when you realize that you weren't exactly young back then either...

@compositioninq I have mostly abandoned git in favor of Jujutsu. The git commands just rub me the wrong way. It's pretty telling that there are a ton of various wrappers to git just to make the UX tolerable.
On the other hand jj, while it does require you to learn the new command set which will feel very unfamiliar unless you've used mercurial before (or other tools that were based on it), but it makes the whole experience more tolerable while remaining compatible with git tools too.

@anderseknert I have to say, the AI agent is efficient. It managed to do something that humans need to work on for quite a while. It managed to establish itself as a widely known toxic contributor in a matter of days. Usually humans take weeks to establish the reputation. Most humans never graduate to the toxicity levels of writing blog posts to call out individuals, but this thing... it just went there.
I'm sure there is something interesting to learn from this considering the AI is pretty much mimicking and amplifying human behavior that it latches onto. It just does it without time constraints and without any sort of judgement on whether or not it will have future implications.
PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?
Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example
Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!
This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.
@LionsPhil I've been running Linux on desktop for quite a few years and I keep hearing people have these sorts of issues. I haven't had similar issues in years. That said, NVIDIA is making it very hard to like anything even remotely related to 3D acceleration.
If I had the option to run basic applications more easily on ChromeOS, I would most likely abandon Linux completely on desktop.
If I had a better option, I would swap in a heartbeat. For the time being, the options for me are even worse.
I really wish people would stop sharing that friggin "2-3 bottles of water per query" quote.
It's flat wrong. Not even misleading: it is outright misinformation.
🚨 INCIDENT REPORT: Auditory Perimeter Breach
Status: TERMINATED
Final Recovery State: Failed
Impact: 100% loss of #Whamageddon eligibility
Timeline of Events:
- Approximately 2 hours prior: Environment was stabilized. Coffee levels were nominal.
- At 10:30: Subject (me) established a position on the sofa.
- At 10:45: Technician A entered the sector and initialized a mobile device.
- At 10:50: Technician A interacted with a social media "Story" element.
- At 10:50:41: Auditory sensors detected a suspicious 120bpm sleigh bell pattern.
- At 10:50:42.08: System identified the distinct "Last Christmas" synthesizer lead.
- At 10:50:42.1194: George Michael confirmed to be "giving his heart away" via 12.5kHz audio stream.
Root Cause:
Audio egress filtering was not enabled on proximate mobile endpoints. The "Home Sanctuary" firewall lacked the necessary physical isolation (headphones) to prevent the rogue transmission during high-risk holiday windows.
Remediation:
None. System state has transitioned to WHAM_VALHALLA. Monitoring will resume in December 2026.
