If you’re just going to blat and reclone, then you may as well use a folder system instead of git. I see no reason git needs to be changed in order to cater to people who refuse to read basic documentation or learn from their mistakes.

In an Ideal World, sure. The Reality that most people live in is that we need money to pay the rent, like right about now. This limits the opportunities available to us because we simply cannot wait to find a fulfilling and justly compens

No, most comments say to find fulfillment through personal projects/hobbies. Work is work; it doesn't necessarily have to be the most satisfying or fulfilling experience ever. That's always going to be the case if you're

This is wildly offbase. The toxicity, for the most part, doesn’t come from ranks. It comes from being stuck in a bad game for 20-60 minutes. Competition just exacerbates it because now ranks/points/money are on the line. I’m talki

Shallow and negative dismissal aside, if this project doesn’t randomly get stuck and force a refresh, that would be an improvement over beta.music.apple.com. I regularly click on another song during a playlist only to have it just hang fore

The main issue with that is having open signups. Voat became terrible because when subreddits or users got banned, they went straight to voat. Tild.es on the other hand has been extremely pleasant to use. That said, because there’s no rea

You have to practice. And listen to native speakers making that sound. You have to watch their mouth shape and tongue position. In the end it comes down to practice with specific intent of improving your pronunciation. Hiring a voice coach

"bad" itself is a loaded word because people don't like bad things. "negative" itself is a loaded word because why can't it be positive instead? etc. In some cases, like this one, usage of the word "evil&q

That may be true to an extent, but there is a huge difference between wanting high-density, fast loading websites, and wanting to get rid of image/video/non-text links altogether. subreddits can be insanely useful sources of infor

It is, but a vast swath of useful stuff on reddit is related to images. That crowd will still need to go somewhere. Whatever replaces reddit will need to allow image links as well as text posts and content links if it wants to get serious u

If you truly want to learn a language, no singular app will work. You need to find a good curriculum for your language for grammar. Typically this means taking a class or buying a good textbook. Sometimes you get lucky and find a comprehens

You can’t learn a language without making substantial investments of time. Anyone can “learn” some words and maybe a little grammar, but that’s not learning a language in the slightest. Duo lingo is trash for learning languages, particularl
