Git won't track empty directories (because at heart it only tracks files). Common advice is to add a '.gitkeep' file so the directory isn't empty and git will make the directory.

EVEN BETTER ADVICE: put a README in the directory explaining what the empty directory is for and what will eventually be there.

TL;DR:

Do NOT get a LinkedIn blue checkmark if you’re at all privacy conscious or a European citizen.

So Sam Altman's response to concerns about the wastefulness of his company's technology is basically "Well, raising humans consumes a lot of energy too!"

Either he has finally fried his own brain with his slop machine or he doesn't even bother any more to hide the degrading, dehumanizing, and despicable mindset that fuels the industry he's in.

Either way, those people shouldn't wield any power in the real world, where the rest of us 'dispensable humans' dwell.

Our Dutch gov delegation had a great work visit in @landesregierung and learned a lot about Schleswig-Holstein's #opensource journey. 🔥

These lessons will be integrated into our own #digitalsovereignty strategy. We'll also keep collaborating with SH, Germany and France to work towards a sovereign workspace.

Thanks again @digitalhubsh for organizing!! 🇩🇪🥨

Safer Internet Day in a nutshell: Updates zeitnah installieren. Für jeden Dienst ein eigenes langes Zufallspasswort + 2FA / Passkeys. Links erst prüfen, dann klicken. Backups nicht vergessen. Weniger Apps, weniger Berechtigungen, weniger Datenspuren. Tracking und Werbung blockieren. Wo möglich Ende-zu-Ende nutzen. Stay safe! 🛡️
