Matter: current branch
Dark matter: other branches
Dark energy: disk space remaining
If you look at it long enough, the universe looks like a git repository.

@spot I shall now call the practice of adding an agenda to meeting invites as "putting on the pants."

I tried to explain why this practice is bad by drawing analogies with "naked pings," but HR asked me not to refer to these as "naked meeting invites."

Thank you for your zoom invite to "$meaningless_abbr weekly meeting" that had no description or agenda attached. Here's my hasty "no".

About to put the 2nd kid on my mobile plan. Good thing our mortgage is almost paid off, because mobile plans are bloody expensive in Canada.

I know it says "fresh," but something tells me your box design isn't.

Maybe the internet being mostly five corporate websites for the past 15 years was a really bad idea.

@zhenech If you're using Github Actions, just clone it from github.com/torvalds/linux

@KansasGrant git is not really decentralized at all -- it's distributed. If you push some changes into your clone of project.git, nobody will know about it until you tell them on some centralized platform (GitHub, mailing list, etc).

@sbb good for you, but it really starts being complicated when someone else decides they want to contribute to your projects; and things get really, really tricky when that number of people grows to thousands daily.

@axboe sure thing, grandpa.

@n0toose @jacobrogers256 I encourage people to toot their horn (hur-hur) in my mentions, especially if this helps promote decentralized/federated projects.

@jacobrogers256 make sure you can export full project history and have a plan B.

@jacobrogers256 enshittification works there, too, because there's always a strong drive to cut costs and strong lobbying from the industry to not compete with the private sector. It just enshittifies in different ways, usually via neglect, decay, or overwhelming red tape.

I'm not saying "GitHub is bad" or "don't use GitHub" -- it's a great platform and if it solves your problem, totally go ahead and use it. I'm just saying that it's a business and at some point someone is going to crunch some numbers and say "hey, these guys are popular and it would be nice if they brought in more revenue," and this is how enshittification starts.
