  • The main reason I use git is it allows me to make mistakes without hard consequences. Any fuckup is just one reset away from being fixed. I like to: I have to fix this thing. While attempting to fix it I discover there is another thing that needs fixing on which everything revolves. I fix the second thing and commit. I’m now free to fuck around the code all I want and I’m sure I won’t lose that fix.

    For this I really like to use --fixup when I find out the change was not completely right or does not fit well with some other changes I need to do. I really like git absorb which automates this a bit.


  • Ahaha, yes video call Is always a pain in the butt for some reason. I now run fedora (but still only do major upgrades on a Saturday morning).

    I don’t know, at work we use Microsoft teams, often I get called into meet, zoom and others. The best working one to me is jitsy, that’s not to say it works flawlessly.

    I don’t know, sometimes they work on Firefox, sometimes they work on Chrome. Sometimes they do not work and I have to use the phone. Sometimes headphones microphone does not work. Sometimes headphones microphone works but audio goes through speaker and not headphones.

    I don’t know, I gave up attempting to fix all these things. Most of the times it’s more than one person in the call and we end up just joining together at the computer that works first. To be fair, my colleagues using windows are not free from these problems.









  • I used arch extensively. I still have it in a laptop I switch on from time to time. I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn’t get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it. I don’t want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

    Other than that, arch is a good system. But I’d rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.
