   I was under the impression that the First Amendment means that the government can't arrest you for what you say, not that it lets you talk about whatever you like at a conference organized or supported by it. Nevertheless I understand

   If Adria Richards and PyCon can make a such fuss about a joke [1], then other conferences can do the same about current political events. I personally wouldn't mind or better said I wouldn't be offended because the topic might be

    Then how about Romania, a former communist country? Let me tell how things run since 1990 when we supposedly switched to capitalism and democracy. I've heard that labor laws changed a bit around 2010, but I don't know exactly how.

    Isn't histedit [1] an extension? I don't think it was available back then, or if I tried I didn't like it. I don't remember evolve [2] at all. [1]: https://repo.mercurial-scm.org/hg/help/his

    I hated so much how Mercurial dealt with short-lived branches, that after seeing how Git did it, I've never looked back. I also remember how some people told me to use the quilt or something extension to manage patches, but it was too

    I don't know what you mean by ergonomics, but I remember trying both Mercurial and Git back in the days after using Subversion before. I didn't like how Mercurial didn't easily let me rewrite history and do stuff like `git co

    I'm using rEFInd because it can load and use the NVMe EFI driver unlike GRUB and systemd-boot. rEFInd is a true UEFI boot loader. I think that Fedora doesn't know to update its configuration when I install or remove a kernel, so I
