- Comment on GitHub Desktop or Git CLI? 11 months ago:
Yeah I actually just prefer the command line, I’ve never had to force myself to use it. I even tried using VSC for a bit recently but i couldn’t get myself to like it. I just use nvim with some plugins in a tmux session now and its productive as hell.
Of course I don’t browse the web with the command line. For merging branches, I always merge main into the working branch first, check conflict files, and go through the file finding the diffs and resolving them. I’ve used merge tools before that were sorta nice but I had my own issues with them.
Maybe it’s the type of programming I do. I don’t do any web stuff, so file count is down. For larger code bases I keep a non editor terminal up and will
grep -refor word/phrase searching,findto look for specific files, etc. I’ll occasionally use an IDE, typically eclipse based because embedded, but I don’t find myself missing the features they add. - Comment on GitHub Desktop or Git CLI? 11 months ago:
Thanks for the explanation, that does sound useful.

That’s fair, there’s plenty of uses for source control.
I was speaking from a programming context though, as this is a programming community.

I really never understood why one would need a GUI for git except for visualizing branches.
I feel like I’m crazy seeing so many people using clicky buttons for tracking files. I need like 4 commands for 95% of what I do and the rest you look up.
You’re already programming! Just learn the tool!
And now there’s a github CLI tool? I hate to beat a dead horse but Microsoft pushing their extended version of an open source tool/protocol is literally the second step of their mantra.

A typo in the first paragraph of the article in a wiki wont make the 5th paragraph tear down the entire wiki.

The barely functional game that inspired NFTs by making people buy worthless digital items for internet clout?
Starfield is basically the same recipe as past fallout/elder scrolls titles. Everyone loves to complain about them but everyone is still playing them. The fact is the choose your own adventure thing is still very much there. Just play it and have fun.

This game is exactly what I expected. Its unapologetically a bethesda fps rpg.
The menus are unwieldy, the economy is annoying, the politics half thought out, gun play is eh, etcetcetc.
But that’s not why I play these games, I play them because I love the weird quest rabbit holes you find yourself going down. I love how I can just go somewhere and knock all the shit off the shelves.
I’ve been playing on normal difficulty except for 5 on 1 space battles, I set that shit down to very easy. The gun play has felt fine for me, focus on headshots and you end up with more ammo you can use, particularly caseless shotgun ammo, .50 cal, and whatever the grendel shoots. I almost always go into areas underleveled in early game so I tend to have long range extended gun fights or just barrel stuff with the old earth shotgun.
Last time I played New Vegas I walked directly to the strip at level 2, avoided all the cazadors and death claws, then started the Dead Money DLC at level 5, and finished it at level 9.
I’m ranting right now but basically what I’m trying to say is these games are games where you need to find your fun and set your goals. You have main quest lines that literally end the game, so go out and find something weird, set off in a direction and find a long winded side quest. Make your character a drunk and drink every single alcoholic drink you find. Make your character a clepto and steal relentlessly. Get addicted to every drug and refuse to wear armor and specialize in the utility knife.
if you really dont care about combat, just roll the difficulty all the way down and have fun.

As a committed hexbear poster, I want to share something sorta quick that might give insight into the chapo rules for posting.
The culture generally arose from having a home-team advantage on the old sub. Where typically across reddit, Liberals and Conservatives would argue in bad faith with leftists, return to propaganda as proof, and generally ignore history and call it “whataboutism”.
The culture that came from the home-team advantage was a mix of well cited arguments and a ruthless trolling component. It’s a relentless form of arguing, where many people can get together and reverse the general consensus.
So when some far right person came in and thought they were being witty with some canned racist/sexist/homophobic remark, we would simply bully them, Tell them to post hog, etc. Same thing with Liberals depending on the comment. Good faith comments are typically met with a thoughtful response. Nowhere else on reddit could you have the level of backup to drown out the fascist elements on that site.
This culture is a shock to a lot of people but I assure you we’re very nice people and I think some of us are just a little too excited to dunk again.
I hope this helps a bit. We’re all extremely anti-fascist. We do have critical support for previous socialist endeavors, because the horrors of capitalism and it’s bedfellow, fascism, have still more than outdone the harm socialist projects caused.

it’s not a great comparison I’ll admit, but it’s essentially the same as digital privacy, only one of these is protected in courts and the other is encouraged.
I haven’t sat down to really build a stance on this but it does not sit well.

If the results were also open and public, it’d be a different conversation.
This is more akin to rain water collection up-hill and selling it back to the people downhill. It’s privatization of a public resource.
