I was unfamiliar with the decorate flag, but I can’t see any difference after trying.

I will say this is one command I absolutely refuse to create an alias for.

I have force committed to memory the command: git log --graph --remotes --all (and the variation with the --oneline flag appended to the end if needed) so I can use it anywhere.

It’s the one command I can’t live without.

It’s not AI slop, and we shouldn’t need to discuss it.

But unfortunately some users’ behaviour is destructive, so we have to discuss it.

There’s some really good recommendations in here, but we can’t settle on what to recommend for you without a little more info.

• Are you planning to game on it? (as in computer game, not ttrpg)
  • If yes, use Bazzite. (it’s already set up for gaming, and it’s “immutable” which means that it’ll be hard for you to break)
• If not, what experience do you prefer more:
  • Windows 7
    • Use Linux Mint (Cinnamon Edition)
  • Windows 10 (but without all the cortana, and bing stuff)
    • Use PopOS
  • I want something Windows like, but I want more control over how I can customise it
    • Use Kubuntu
  • I want something Windows like, and I want more control to customise it, but I also don’t want it to break if I start doing weird things to it
    • Use Kionite (Will look the same as Kubuntu from the outside, but will lock you out from doing or using certain things)

Which one should you pick?

The answer is No (and also yes).

Huh?!

The real answer is not to pick one, but to pick more than one. You can (one at a time) install each of them onto a USB then change your computer’s settings to boot up from the USB instead of windows. That way you can try each one to see what you like without installing them on your computer first.

For each one you try, you can check:

• Do I like the interface?
• Are there any compatibility issues? (wifi issues, sound issues, graphics issues, etc…)
• Am I happy with how long the battery lasts?
• etc…

Then once you’re ready, you can install the one you want to use onto your laptop.

Debian and KDE would make a solid experience, but that’s not what this user is looking for.

They’re not going to know what Debian or KDE are, and they’re not going to have the requisite knowledge to know that you’re probably recommending Kubuntu.

Kubuntu is a great choice, but since we don’t have all the information on the user’s needs, it might not be the best choice.

I set l to ls -hal

A quick and dirty heuristic to find out is to walk through any central transport station or food court and check:

How many people have customised their phone’s lock screen?

That’s a fairly useless point to make since everyone will always want to look at what configurable options can be adjusted.

No one would buy a car if they couldn’t adjust the seat or mirrors.

unrelated, but I love your profile’s display pic haha

They told you to use “ed”

You missed the joke

I really want to switch from VSCode to Helix but not having a file tree is a deal breaker.

Luckily there’s been a lot of work on adding a plugin runtime with one of the proof-of-concept plugins being a file tree. Assuming the plugin runtime comes out this year in a helix release, and adding on a year for the community to settle on the first wave of plugins while giving them time to mature, I can see myself using helix fulltime in 2027 (before Microsoft has enshitified vscode enough to be unpleasant to use).

For a complicated project I get it, github’s PR system is kind of bad (horrible branch based workflow and no stacked diff support resulting in increased churn) compared to the alternatives.

That’s why we have tools like Graphite to add stacked diff support on top of github, and other devs creating new VCSs because git still hasn’t made it’s interactive rebase and merge conflicts easy enough to handle for juniors and it should be simpler.

The 2/3/4/5-000 series cards use a driver that’s more open than the older cards, so nvidia support tends to be better than it was before.

Flip-flopping in and of itself isn’t bad.

What it is - is a symptom.

A symptom of being an absolute dumbass. Now that is what’s bad.

Yes, I know it’s not out out yet, but we’re nearly there

Using AI leads to code churn and code churn is bad for the health of the project.

If you can’t keep the code comprehensible and maintainable then you end up with a worse off product where either everything breaks all the time, or the time it takes to release each new feature becomes exponentially longer, or all of your programmers become burnt out and no one wants to touch the thing.

You just get to the point where you have to stop and start the project all over again, while the whole time people are screaming for the thing that was promised to them back at the start.

It’s exactly the same thing that happens when western managers try to outsource to “cheap” programming labor overseas, it always ends up costing more, taking longer, and ending in disaster

This is why you’re meant to comment your code.

Your code tells you “what”, your comments tell you “why”.
