There are many good replacements, you just need to stop using Github :)

Some examples: Forgejo/Gitea (self-host or hosted eg. codeberg.de), Gitlab (self-host or hosted), Sourcehut (self-host or hosted eg. sr.ht)

Then perhaps a better phrasing is "may be the only way to feel warm and get to sleep", even if it doesn't actually warm you.

How has nobody said the meat and cheese yet? Besides the sauce of course. But there is a mountain of research about the health risks of meat and dairy consumption, from elevating cancer risk to heart disease etc:

• https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-does-meat-affect-longevity/
• https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-and-cancer/

There are transcripts and citations available at those links, as well as a lot more information about other topics. Since these are huge industries, there is a lot of money put in bogus research and advertising to show apparent health benefits and downplay risks, but the scientific consensus looks very different.

On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn't entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.

What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It's so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it's even harder to escape it.

Why not go even further? Just switch off the pesky computer entirely. No noise, not even coil whine.

I would not recommend addictive and harmful habits like smoking tobacco/pot and drinking as a coping mechanism, it can go real bad and can make it harder to get out of that hole again.

This is only true for the merge request workflow and not at all a problem for the patch workflow, which can work entirely via email (and is in my eyes simpler). Have a look at https://git-send-email.io/ if you want to learn about it. This is the true decentralized spirit of git. :)

Me too! Here's a bonus with more clock:

It's not a messenger, but for locally frequently transferring or syncing a lot of data, I can recommend syncthing. You can use it to configure shared directories, syncthing will use the local network as available (or you can force it to) to transfer files across the devices. We use it for keeping some media, notes, password databases and documents in sync over a bunch of devices. :)

The meaning of copyleft is just that those who use the license have to typically also use the same or a similar license. There is no restriction to who can use it, just to the terms under which they can use it and have to license it.

GPLv3 for example does not allow derivative works to be closed source, while MIT does. In practice this makes some companies hesitant to use GPL-licensed works, but they can, and many do, they just have to abide by its rules. :)

It is actually Android 10+, but I think the automatic updates only work for Android 12+ :)

I have it a try and it still has some growth ahead before it is useful in my eyes.

Edit: correction, the latest release is still Android 12+, but the next release will support 10+

By this logic, you want a complete monopoly of a single platform? Because that's the only possible way to have "no barrier". Unless GitHub starts federating with some kind of standardized protocol. This is a huge technological and monetary barrier for GitHub, which is why it will never happen on its own, so if users are not willing to try platform-independent workflows then the problem is frankly not the competing platforms.

I actually first assumed that they meant three dimensional volume when I read "size" and wondered how we saw such a tiny comet. Quite confusing (read: bad) choice of title...

It looks super cool! Awesome job!

You can just assign visible colours to these invisible-to-humans parts of the spectrum so that we can see them. :)

Watched it live, it was quite exciting and I am very happy for India and its scientists!

Have to agree, it's a funny story but charging someone a stupidity rate for nonexistent work isn't justified by that person being stupid and a pain in your ass. Unless your circumstances force you, you can always just refuse work from customers like this. So many people downvoting this is disappointing.

That is answered in the original post, the author is just doing this for fun and learning. :)

But "gamers" is evidently the wrong word, it should be "men". The whole point is that there are a ton of female gamers, and then they equate gamers with men in the title 🤷
