There used to be a service for this called "Reddit"

In this case the morons at lemmy.ml have likely defined nationalism as "with regard to any nation that isnt communist or previously communist" and "without disagreeable (to tankies) opinion"

Never ever wrap a ziptie around a limb or anywhere on your body.

The answer to your question is no, federation is not an appropriate model for internet scale search.

What the hell? Thats not funny or anything it just fucks with your ex-coworkers who probably werent the problem, management isnt affected by that.

Pro tip, you seem really arrogant (including some other comments) and you need to tone that down before you enter the industry. Its nothing to be ashamed of and I'm not trying to insult you, you just assume your experiences are way more universally valid than they are.

As someone who was born with unilateral moderate->severe hearing loss, I can read lips. The experience is likely unique across the hearing loss spectrum / time of onset, and some people may be able to learn that skill themselves, idk. I'm sure 100% deaf people experience it in their own interesting way.

To me it's not anything I conciously do, and it's not something that's really that visible to me. The fact I can still hear, but not as well as people with normal hearing affects how it works. The way I'd explain it for me is kinda like this:

Sometimes I can't hear enough to tell what is being said, one way my brain naturally deals with this is by reading the speakers lips and using that to help filter and understand what its hearing. I can kinda apply it as a skill, like with muted videos and people I can't hear because of distance, but it doesn't work that well and isn't worthy of trust.

So for me it's more of a sense, not something I do or think about. However, its basically the least effort way to understand speech that isn't clear enough. This is in contrast to another way I/my brain goes about it, which is trying really hard to figure out what it just heard.

To answer your last question, yes it is likely a mistake. Theres a youtube channel about that whole concept, called bad lip reading or something. They dub over video with audio that matches the lips well enough.

To put my experience into perspective, which might work for at least a few people: closed captions ~~subtitles~~. I mean... I've never asked anyone else but yall arent just reading them, right? To me they just clarify the speech subconsciously (for the most part), rather than me reading them off the screen when I need them. Captions are weird... Who knows if this is accurate to my experience or similar to others.

It's really cool how a lot of the tech that powers the Internet today has a looong legacy. The longevity is astounding!

I watched someone set up their own dial-up ISP on youtube, they were able to consume the modern net with it as well.

Sounds like you're part of the group they're protecting if you refuse to understand and value the need for permission management ;)

Unlucky!

You realize you don't need to list all your changes in the commit message, right? Anyone can blame or diff said changes.

The commit message is meant to be used for the high level stuff, the intent, representing / connecting progress towards a larger work item, and other important context from outside the codebase. Insert other reasons that aren't saying literally what was changed if you feel I have missed something.

Also one should use their time better if they are spending so much time writing commit messages they feel the need to automate it. Commit messages are rarely read ever again (once merged, lets say), it is not okay to be spending a lot of time on them. That's not an excuse to write bad commit messages, but you have to balance the time cost with expected utility.

And an addendum to the above. Describing what you did without reasoning, context, or other information that isnt captured within the changes itself makes your commit messages entirely useless. It makes IDE-inserted in-line blame information useless as well. Thus you are now wasting all the time you spend on commit messages, even if you spend less because it's automated.

Man, fuck taking any step in the right direction eh? Let's just hope for the entire world to change instead of hoping for a reasonable change that is a big step in the right direction.
