Linus issues a long-overdue apology, I dusted off my long-unused reddit account to see what's going on. I looks like half of reddit is loosing its mind. The most hilarious arguments are: "some 'SWJ' blackmailing Linux", or "it's all identity politics".

It is fascinating in how much conspiratorial denial someone can be. Hopefully all the toxic assholes are going to leave.

Here's the article I postponed reading after I watched Season 5 of BoJack horseman.

I like how the article critique the series and mentions some of the important plot points of the series that I might have missed.

@snailix Now that navigation is controlled by computers the ship crew lets everyone geek out at ye olde (as in 1970s) navigation and control equipment.

@LibertyPaulM Articles like this have been published for the past few years every time apple has released a new phone, and nothing changed, things just gotten worse -- now they are discontinuing iphone se

@frak Awesome, thank you! I've been using gitk for the same purpose, but this is way more grep-able.

@bgcarlisle This is only one degree of separation from "I don't want to sound rasist, but .." that implies that person should stay silent.

Shallow dive into #git aliases. 2/2

To debug git aliases run this command

$ export GIT_TRACE=1

What I have accomplished is I'm able to track remote branch by typing only

$ git track <remote_branch_name>

If I want to track and switch, I can use aliases recursively

[alias]
swtrack = "!f(){ git track $1; git checkout $1; }; f"

Shallow dive into #git aliases.

I've been perplexed with git shortcuts because it's not your regular unix command and I don't want to solve things by adding more obscure shell commands I can't remember.

Simple git alias shorthand is easy --

git config --global alias.co checkout

Longer aliases are more difficult, but possible. Add the following to ~/.gitconfig to save a lot of typing when tracking remote origin --

[alias]
track = "!f(){ git branch --track $1 origin/$1; }; f"

@alice @jalcine Thankfully IDE has been long dead and forgotten.

#gitlab

Gitlab quick actions is a really nice shortcut
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/quick_actions.html

Quck actions in gitlab work by typing commands as comments

i.e Commenting
/unlabel ~Doing
/label ~Production

Removes label "Doing" and adds label "Production"

I wish there would be a way to create a conditional statement to apply these rules for issues i.e. remove 'Doing' label when issue is closed. Add 'Production' label when appropriate CI pipeline finishes.

I'm not entirely happy with CBC coverage of what is going on, the following quotes aren't put in context.

"Who are we actually governed by?" asked Curran. "Are we governed by our elected representatives or a small cabal of largely left-leaning judges?"

Among many grassroots conservatives, there has long been a current of anger about "activist judges" whom they believe are overstepping their roles by shaping laws and policies through their decisions.
