I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit, since it seems unlikely for Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney to have such uncharacteristically strong opinion on software version control, of all things.
Because she of all people would know that there isn’t anything wrong with using
git merge, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference to what you are used to.Fair point, Margot Robbie
That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
She’s modest too!
And successful Hollywood film producer – props on getting into the stakeholder end of the business so early in your career!
Margot Robbie, I was about to agree with you and thought that was a very reasonable take, until you tried to argue that
git mergeis better thangit rebase, then I simply had to disregard the whole thing.This is why Sydney Sweeney isn’t on Lemmy.
She probably is, just anonymous. It would be crazy to expect anyone to post on lemmy under their real name.
But they were arguing that it’s personal preference not that one is better than the other
“Don’t always trust what you read on the internet.”
- Benjamin Franklin
Wait a second, there wasn’t even any social media sites back when Benjamin Franklin lived. Did he write that in his newsletter or something?
I think he was a senior contributor for the underground cracker mag 1600 back in the late 80s.
They called em zines.
Truly he was ahead of his time.
But esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and film director, Margot Robbie, if it’s unlikely that Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney said this… wouldn’t it be just as unlikely that Margot Robbie would be here? Adding her own comment?
… are you projecting? Is there something you want to tell us esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and film director Margot Robbie?
I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit
You can tell by the pixels
No, the tweet is real. Just not the quote.
I mean, it’s posted in programming humor so yeah.
A bit of the old on the internet no-one knows you’re a dog, I think. Therefore I am a webdev dog too.
Why is anyone using X in 2024?
I do, I have yet to switch to Wayland
It’s called Twitter now, by conservation of names. /s
You didn’t hear of wayland.social?
OFC it’s real https://wayland.social/explore
Shit, I unironically thought they were talking about this, and I unironically haven’t switched because Barrier is broken on Wayland
I use X because Cinnamon on Wayland has no option to change the keyboard layout
I tried their experimental Wayland session and it’s still super buggy on high refresh rate/high DPI screens (loads of graphical errors and artifacts) so still a ways to go imo
Wayland really doesn’t like RDP/remote access, so X is the only way to go if you want that to work properly.
I actually never had an issue on my wayland system. I used remmina for rdp but never had an issue.
I tried it for a moment, made games stutter like hell, switched back. I know I need to go in and figure it out at some point, but it’s hard to muster the energy when X, for the most part, works fine.
From what I’ve seen, it probably has to do with my Nvidia GPU.
I’m currently at the point where I blame everything that works on my Laptop but not on my PC on Nvidia, because that’s literally the biggest difference between those two. Like currently my getty isn’t displaying properly, which is surely NVidias fault.
Odd, when i switched to Wayland the stuttering stopped! Also on Nvidia
On nvidia, it definitely feels much smoother, but some GPU accelerated programs like games become flickery, i think it’s an xwayland issue
Depends on a few things with your setup: age of your GPU, the resolution/refresh rate of your monitor. I think even the choice of DP/HDMI can have an impact too
Because my new intel integrated graphics cause Wayland to run like a slideshow.
because some of the hardware I use is too old to run Wayland
No censorship tbh
But there is blatant censorship
Nothing even remotely compared to any of the other platforms mate
Platforms of the same nature like Mastodon.social ? Because no.
Actually, internal reports seem to indicate Twitter under Musk complies with much more takedown requests than it did previously, numbers seem to range from 80% to 98%, including requests from countries like China, Ethiopia, Turkey, etc. When people mention censorship by big tech the top three names are Twitter, Facebook, and Google. The only time I know of that twitter fought censorship was when India wanted them to takedown news about farmers’ protests, and Twitter lost in court, probably owing largely to the fact that he cut staff by 80% and ran the company’s finance into the ground by endorsing hate speech.
No, I did not include mastodon in the “other platforms” because 99% of the normies aren’t on decentralized platforms anyway.
Very small pond we’re discussing, as sad as that is.
All I did was answer why THEY think Twitter is worth using. I personally don’t use Twitter, nor do I disagree w/ your take on censorship.
Because their name is Elon Musk.
Idk I hang out on Mastodon.social
If yall don’t like the chronological feed then find a hashtag you like and start following people.
Imagine rewring history
History is written by the squashers.
Imagine working with a tangled spaghetti of history
You don’t? Just follow the merges.
You try to pull someone’s changes, but whoops, they used rebase and rewrote history! Delete the branch and start over.
