  • I personally love torrents, their decentralized nature will make them last forever.

    I would love to see a client that shows you a full catalog of movies and shows and downloads right from the client. If I choose a movie it will just start downloading it right there and can let me watch it in a few minutes. Basically similar to popcorn time but actually maintained, and also supports a vpn.

    My family still likes to use streaming services because they choose something off of Netflix and watch. It would be nice to have the same experience with torrents.






  • It was common for european colonizers to say this about indigenous people, basically meaning that they don’t participate in the world economy. Or, said another way, they’re not being exploited for profits by said european colonizers, which is obviously bad.





  • Always merge when you’re not sure. Rebasing rewrites your commit history, and merging with the squash flag discards history. In either case, you will not have a real log of what happened during development.

    Why do you want that? Because it allows you to go back in time and search. For example, you could be looking for the exact commit that created a specific issue using git bisect. Rebasing all the commits in a feature branch makes it impossible to be sure they will even work, since they represent snapshots that never existed.

    I’ll never understand why people suggest you should default to rebasing. When prompted about why, it’s usually some story about how it went wrong and it was just easier to do it the wrong way.

    I’m not saying never squash or rebase. It depends on the situation but if you had to pick a default, it should be to simply merge.






  • At least they’re personalized now

    All that means is that they’re tracking everything about you to figure out what ads would work on you. They share your data between companies to build a profile on you.

    I used to think the same as you but after enough time I just got completely fed up with everyone constantly trying to sell me things. Basically every interaction online is someone trying to take money from me. Not only that but they go out of their way to make things shittier because you’re more likely to part with your money. Like how article websites wait just long enough before you start reading before covering the screen with an ad and breaking your concentration. You can’t just scroll past those and mind your business.
