Costs Less? When That Happened?
  • If they're (Patreon) eating 30%, wouldn't they lose money per transaction? I assume they take less than 30% of each subscription currently.

  • Thanks for the callout! We actually use browerstack too, but only for exceptions like that one. It's not part of our typical process. Really cool software

  • I can't tell if you're joking or if I misunderstood what you wrote.

    It's remove (rm) recursively (allow removing folders) (-r) and "force" (don't prompt for confirmation, e.g. when removing write protected files) (-f) everything in the root folder (/*)

    With -r and -f getting combined into -rf of course.

  • Maybe it was just me, but I found VSCode's undo/redo vim trees (u/r) to be kind of awkward when compared to real vim.

  • Yeah, thankfully I never had to develop with IE in mind. Though I have heard a lot of people dislike it for that reason.

    You're totally right about that being a benefit to everyone moving to chromium. Thankfully Firefox has kept pretty up to date with new features/standards too.

  • I know a lot of people like macOS, and I'm sure they get a lot done with it. For me however, it's easily my least favorite popular OS. That's even considering the terminal running zsh by default, which is miles ahead of Windows.

    A quirk that recently bit us at work is that Safari has a maximum allowed version based off your OS version. Now if it was just me as a user, I'd download a 3rd party browser. However, as a developer, I have to build solutions that work for every "reasonable" browser. This means I can't use features that every modern browser has, including Safari, because Safari from 4 years ago didn't have it.

  • I've had issues with add-ons on some sites too. For those times I just use a different Firefox profile (each has its own set of add-ons and settings :D)

    what's the appeal of Linux for the average desktop user?
  • I completely agree. Software that utilizes dark patterns to push me towards behavior that monetarily benefits them while degrading my experience simply rubs me the wrong way.

  • Thanks for introducing me to this song, I like it a lot! I can't really think of a song like that, but most of the time I'm just treating the vocals as another instrument and not paying too much attention to the lyrics.
