To be fair, the music industry knows they couldn't beat Google in court on this. The same can't be said for OP who probably doesn't have the time or money to fight it as evidenced by this post.

The benefit of using a strange git command would be learning what a strange git command does and then it's no longer strange. You'll learn how to create, read, update, and delete that new bit of state in git. Then you won't h

On my phone so it's hard to check, but Gmail's ctrl and shift clicks work really well and is intuitive to me. I'm shocked they wouldn't use the same mechanics everywhere. Best example: Gmail is one of the only webapps I&

It really isn't. git stash is the equivalent to saving your work somewhere else and getting a fresh copy.

I'm with you. I don't care. I prefer merging but if someone insists on rebase + squash commit I don't care because it doesn't make a difference. Sometimes I'll tell a rebase person that if they don't like merge

The vote is like Who's Line is it Anyways? The points won't matter and everything will be made up. If it's gamed by the stay blackout crowd they'll say there was fraud and do what they want. If it gets gamed by the takeo

I plan to check out the federated networks this weekend. I actually gave Reddit up for the entire summer last year and didn't miss it at the time. I came back in the winter because I get bored and have no outdoor activities. It was rea

Hah, every time I see something cool done with Racket it makes me want to learn it and go through How To Design Programs. I start from the beginning and get a little further every time.. one day I'll finish it.

I'm sure those votes will be completely transparent and fair. Reddit has no credibility left. From their roots they used sockpuppets to make the site seem like it had more users than it did. They were caught manually editing comments i

I think you're understanding the point. Consider what you would call an average Trump supporter. Consider what they would think if Trump declared "This China flu isn't a normal flu. The Chinese designed it in a lab and now it

GP said "herd immunity" not "immunity" and herd immunity has nothing to do with 100% of the population being 100% immune.

I don't either and this is coming from a 4x vaxxed who (I'll shamefully admit) was part of the crowd who shamed everyone who didn't get the vaccine. I still think if you live in a big city or any dense living arrangements, me

Closing the borders wouldn't have been seen as racist, it would have identified as a valid tool to stop the spread, and we would have had an extra 2 months early on in the pandemic preventing the spread in a major way. https:/&#x

The whiny mods are not moderators - they're curators, and they don't do thing to help me enjoy my Reddit experience. They make it worse by being biased and censoring opinions they personally don't like. They have an unreasona

They weren't though. The bad questions stayed buried in new with 0 votes. Removing questions literally only affected people who browsed new and most people don't browse new. Reddit has tools to hide posts you personally don't

How much work does a mod of a city subreddit with 600k subscribers really do though? Is it really necessary to have rules in a city subreddit such as 1) no questions or 2) no posts about crime? That's what I don't understand. The
