Not only them, and I’m not here to blame 😅

There’s no such thing as “zeroith” because it’s called “zeroth — being numbered zero in a series”

This works for building storeys, this would work equally well for tables. The only reason this is not used often is because the series are rarely zero-based in anything that doesn’t also want to equate index and offset.

You’re right that first may be read as “opposite of last”, that would add to the confusion, but that’s just natural language not being precise enough.

Edit: spelling

Edit2: also, if you extend that logic, when you’re presented with an ordinal number, you would need to first check all the options, sort them, and then apply the position you’re asked, that’s not really how people would expect ordinal number to be treated, not me, at the very least

Ach, well, a known method to create a nice discussion

The main issue is that it tries to fix government trust issues with private actors trust issues. It’s still trust issues

Merge requests should be rather small to make it easier to review.

With this I wholeheartedly agree

if your work warrants multiple commits, then it probably also warrants multiple merge requests.

With this not so much, but if you keep your merge requests so small, squashing them is no big deal, that’s a good counterexample for my previous point.

another good thing is that when we decide to release, we can easily look through the commit history for a change log. No more sifting through minor fixes commits.

That still requires you to write meaningful messages, just a bit rarer. We do have trouble with change logs, but we had exact same problems when people squashed left and right. Maybe squashing helps self-discipline, though, I haven’t thought about it that way

I agree that stash gets lost easier than a branch, but

It can be difficult to know which stash belongs to which branch

you know, stash also has a message to it, and afaik it remembers what branch you were on when stashed

How about WIP: <description of what you wanted but did not achieve yet>?

Also, squashing is a pretty bad practice as it is. I can understand that it may make sense sometimes, but most of the time if you don’t commit every other character you input, you’re better off leaving some history of how your code evolved and what changes were coming together

It’s just an old rant, some people can’t get over the fact systemd exists

Nah, I meant that workers really don’t have freedom, but we are led to believe that we do have it, because it’s convenient for the rich

Up until the last part I thought your point was going to be “but now we have class mobility”. Yeah, we don’t 😫 freedom is an illusion for the most part, but a convenient one

I think, they are only paid indirectly in that the money are spent on propaganda to make them act like this

You didn’t listen when we told you there’s malware in torrents, so we put malware in torrents

Ey used the wrong word, but this in fact is correct. Once lemmy gets popular, bot farms will definitely will siege it, and the amount of “bots and shills” will rise

Well, actually, “well actually” comments under shitposts usually add ironic value and aren’t too serious, at least most of what I’ve seen

Chill, man, there’s only so much space to add new names to this meme

uBlock Origin is also not piracy, but it is the real way to block

more waste in bloodstream not being filtered out

But that also doesn’t sound like a good thing

Yeah, the propaganda machine is running full steam, and the worst thing is you never really know if something is said in good faith or by the bot account.

I heard that they employ a lot of different strategies, among the other goals it is to plant doubt, so even if something sounds half-reasonable it may still be part of the propaganda :(

What a better place the world could probably be if all this effort went into something good
