I agree, I think changing the title is a better solution than linking to the release notes, but I still think it makes sense to offer extra clarity. The original title of the blog post is "Highlights from Git 2.33" which to me is

I think this should link directly to Git's release notes (e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq1r6touqi.fsf@gitster.g/ ), or the title should be updated to somehow reflect that this is Github's blog post

The default, if I'm reading the article correctly, is to not disappear messages. What's new is the ability to disappear messages by default for all conversations, instead of having to remember to set it for each conversation. For

It's a joke that probably made a lot more sense in the 90s. Back then people would use ™ everywhere, in logos, whenever certain brands were mentioned, etc. In my opinion it fits the general humor of the game perfectly, but I can defini

Material UI isn't coming from a corporation in the same way as the others though. Material UI is an open source implementation of Google's Material Design system, but it's not in use by Google AFAIK.

Not sure why you are using such a condescending tone, but I do understand how rent and the costs of living work. The difference is that if I brought another person into my home then yes, we could split the rent, but it would also halve the

I wouldn't put it like that. I would say that each user using Netflix should pay the same amount. So you pay for yourself, your wife pays for herself, and your kid pays for themselves. Sure, it's 3 times more than what you pay tod

As part of a single person household it feels weird that there is a norm that you are allowed to share logins "within your household". Effectively this means people in the same household are paying a lower price than others - so p
