I’m a computer and open source enthusiast from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
My guess is that some businesses get tax breaks from municipalities in exchange for filling office spaces with warm bodies. The idea is that people in office buildings support local businesses by buying lunch, and sometimes grabbing a pint after work.
I’m not trying to excuse this trend, in fact as an IT person myself I 100% agree with the sentiment, I’m just trying to share what I’ve been told.
If you’re that worried, why not run chmod -R u+w .git inside the project dir to “un write-protect” the files, then just ascend to the directory containing the project dir (cd …) and use rm -r without -f?
The force flag (-f) is the scary one, I presume?
Whoah, isn’t FUTO the non-profit that Louis Rossmann works for? This is great news!!
Actually the ad matches the article. To me the ad is “fringe” and it has infested the “mainstream” (CNN).
The ability to walk at 40km/h speeds.
His analysis and analogies are actually pretty good, except he ruins it all with his cringy intro and outro. That’s disappointing.
If this is their attitude to a clear self-inflicted fuckup, then that’s plenty reason for me to avoid them and their services. It’s not like their services were distinct in any way… just a dime in a dozen cloud provider.
At work, if you have the option, consider using KeePassXC or similar software. That will give you a properly encrypted file with secrets and also password-manager features.
Hear hear!
Google reminds me more and more of Microsoft of the 90s. That’s exactly the kind of compatibility breaking asinine move MS would do 30 years ago. Sigh…
I think descriptive and useful error messages are OK to report as enhancements. They don’t have to be functional bugs.
Good old git blame lol! Not only can you determine when the change was made and where, it’s trivial to look up the author of the commit: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/commit/562e0d570d93cfcfdebab1215a2f04efa64a24f8
To be fair, the author’s first language may not be English…
Is anyone interested in submitting a pull request? Looks like Github contributions are accepted.

Classic! Love this clip!!!
Better late than never and I responded! Check your DM. :)
I have the whole series as DRM-free MP3. Let me know if you want it.
Actually grub 0.x series had much more useful rescue shell tab completion than the latest release. You could easily list all boot devices, partitions, and even filesystems and their contents. All from the rescue shell. Consequently, you could boot into Linux and reinstall grub in the MBR to fix it. All that without using a boot CD/USB! Good luck doing that with the latest version of grub and UEFI.
Also getting into the BIOS on legacy firmware was also very simple. On most machines it’s the three finger salute followed by either F1, Delete or rarely F11 or F12.
The boot process was simple, and the BIOS had just one simple task: load and execute the first 512 bytes of the disk that was designated as the boot device. That’s it.
Ah yes, simplicity. MBR, with all its limitations had one killer feature: it was extremely simple.
UEFI, as powerful as it is, is the opposite of simple. Many moving parts, so many potential failure points. Unfortunately, it seems like modern software is just that: more complex and prone to failure.
You should see/try socialist/communist toilet paper. Not only is it thin like this, it will also no-so-gently exfoliate your anus.

400ppm? That’s pretty hard water. Your espressos must taste awful. 😣
