I hope the irony isn't lost on these companies. Meta is one of the most aggressive companies against any sort of automation, perhaps after LinkedIn.

I'm trying to build a personal social media client to stop the platforms from shoving their feeds down my throat and to consume only the content I care about, so this hits home.

(I just got blocked from LinkedIn for letting an agent set all of the 77 email notification toggles off, which in hindsight was obvious but I wasn't going to do that manually since every toggle has their own separate page, it's a lot of clicks.)

I won't disagree here, it would be tedious.

Sounds promising to me.

Also the full story here seemed to be

1. Person installs git on Windows with autocrlf enabled, automatically converting all LF to CRLF (very cursed in itself in my opinion).

2. Does their thing with git on the Windows' side (clone, checkout, whatever).

3. Then runs the checked out (and now broken due to autocrlf) code on Linux instead of Windows via WSL.

The biggest footgun here is autocrlf but I don't see how this is whole situation is the problem of any Linux tooling.

I desperately want to like Bruno, since I think it might not do the same rugpull as Postman and Insomnia.

But the UX is just terrible (for me) or at least has been every time I've tried to start using it more.

I mean, come on, the most basic use of creating a request goes like this:

1. Sorry, can't let you create a request before you create a collection.

2. Sorry, can't let you create a collection before you make a decision on in which path you will be storing all your collections.

3. Sorry, can't let you create a request before you think of a good name for it.

etc.

Like what the heck? This should be just one click to create a new untitled request then fill in the URL and send.

At first I thought this might be growing pains since it was new but every year I try it and it hasn't improved.

Not an expert on how this will affect the results but since the list is so long, would it be better to show visitors two random-ish features at a time and have them pick the one they care more about? Or at least offer that kind of UI as an option or the default, and the current list for those who want more control.

If I want to replace openWakeWord in Home Assistant Voice Assistant pipeline with this, any idea how difficult it would be?

`git reparent origin/main -n 3` sounds a lot like `git rebase --onto origin/main HEAD~3` and `git move-branch from to` sounds like `git branch -f from to`.

I love backup branches as much as anyone but I'd also recommend getting used to `git reflog` or perhaps `git log --all --oneline --graph --reflog` if you're worried about losing commits.

There is one* footgun in git that you can't just reflog your way out of and it's stashes because they piggyback off of the reflog, so dropping stashes will also remove them from the reflog. In those cases you can still visualize them with `git fsck --connectivity-only | grep 'dangling commit' | awk '{print $3}' | xargs git log --oneline --graph --all --reflog`.

*(as long as you've committed your changes, if not then there are way more)
