I don't know, many people seem to love it. For what I've seen and the crazy amount of repos we have with ansible scripts and yaml and crazy string problems I'd say I completely hate it with passion. But I'm not really into the devops side of things, so maybe you need to get much more deeper into it to "appreciate" the insanity of yaml files and multiple repos.

Interesting.

Now if only the images with code actually had the snippets in code form I would be able to share the blog post to other people.

There's not really much choice than trying to use qemu command line directly on windows. I didn't find any single useful GUI that was usable or newer than 3 or 4 years ago. It's a pretty sad state of affairs. I spend hours until I discovered that I needed to add some magic flag called machine for acceleration even work.

Best thing for me besides chat working with some friends regularly is the amazing file sharing option between multiple parties easily.

I don't understand the it is hard part. You register with a phone number after installing and that's it. Isn't that the same use case as whatsapp?

Sorry I never used Whatsapp, so it's really really hard to understand what are those features that people keep arguing about that are missing or so much easy of use on that application. I use Signal and Keybase regularly and I don't find them lacking.

So any write up anywhere talking about those misterious and amazing features and user friendly UI that only Whatsapp has?

I have friends that I know use keybase for work with a specific corporate account. I want to talk to them using their private account which I can't because the app only supports a single logged in user. So, is it easy or possible to have multiple accounts logged in and used at the same time? This includes that support for android also.

Maybe the chat application should be extracted into a separate more native application maybe since another "problem" I see my friends talking about is that it is too slow.

Also I'd suggest you may be interested in reading the article properly because he clearly explains and has a reason for the color-coding and for it to be visual.

Informative. Never had any idea that these MIDI things allowed people to use different music to reproduce it. I mean I always thought that MIDI was something about connecting real instruments to computers or something, never really saw a use for it. Reading from the comments it seems people used to share and play these on a previous era. Interesting. The video of the game sounds interesting I guess.

I think for many people this here doesn't mean anything. I'm having a really hard time understanding what is going on in the comments and on the post itself and I've just settled with "it's something about ascii art on terminals" and that's it. Probably has uses. But don't dismiss the confusion on lots of people since this appears to be target at older folks.

Haven't installed a rom on my sony xperia yet because it explicitly said in a few places that doing that voids the warranty. I still have around 1 year and half of waiting until mandatory warranty ends so I can feel ol with doing it.

I wrote a very reasonable text explaining my position (when I did the online vote) in wanting to abolish the DST bullshit and then when deciding which time to choose I'd prefer winter time for this exact same reason. I'm not oblivious to how painful sad, mad and traumatizing it was waking up to go to school in pitch black. As if I care about a few more artificial day hours at the end of the day. Just let it all be consistent and let my body adapt correctly to the changes that occur naturally over the year in how the sun changes. Noticing the sun adding or removing time daily or weekly is a relaxing thing. Much more than suddenly my perception being changed abruptly and not feeling where and when the sun is at all for weeks after DST change.

It's a worthy effort. It really tires you after a while with languages that constantly break the language, the libraries, the ecosystem and the tooling in the ao called "minor versions". Ain't nobody got time to deal with that stuff. Then they are surprised that people still run "ancient" versions of compilers or libraries. Yes scala it's about you.

Finally. It obviously is something that flies over the heads of most people here at least by reading the comments. This is great.

Open source is not open for all. Is open only to the developers. The most and the important distinction.

Anyway we should avoid creating this confusion with this new crazy license, commons clause is malicioua in ita attempt to use a well understood term in a way that twista its meaning.

Ohh interesting. Didn't get that far yet. But good to know. Is there somekind of place listing these gotchas with the syntax? Seems something good to be aware.
