Is "code", "designs" and "wiki" here just some example files in the repo or are those sub-folders, and you only have the repo underneath code?

I don't know why it's inhibiting you here, but Linux is a multi-user OS (meaning multiple users can be logged in at the same time), so it definitely makes sense for it to have a mechanism like that. If another user is in the middle of a long-running operation, it might be very bad to forcibly cancel that...

I mean, yeah, but that difference is quite crucial.

People have always wanted to be the top search result without putting effort in, because that brings in ad money.
But without putting effort in, their articles were generally short, had typoes, and there were relatively few such articles.

Now, LLMs allow these same people to pump out hundredfold as much gargage, consisting of lengthy articles in many languages. And because LLMs are specifically trained to produce texts that are human-like, it's difficult for search engines to filter out these bad quality results.

I think, the main problem is that "X" doesn't look like a name.

When someone's not starkly aware of the platform being called that, they might think the author typoed.
Or is using it like the idiom "they posted it to X, Y and Z" (so just a nondescript set of platforms).
Or genuinely means the letter X and that just doesn't make sense in the context presented.

"X, formerly Twitter" is just a better name than "X", because it is recognizable.

I believe, they said elsewhere that K-9 Mail would keep getting updated for the foreseeable future, so you can use that instead. I believe, because "Thunderbird" is trademarked, it couldn't be packaged in the official repo anyways.

Maybe they will provide a custom F-Droid repo in the future, though...

The guy is famous for raping a pornstar while married. It would certainly be easy to not do such a thing and then tell people you're pious. But the guy is practically screaming at his followers that he's satan himself and they still want to believe the lie...

Weiß jemand vielleicht zufällig, ob der Kuh-Rülps-Methan-Anteil irgendwie relativ unbedeutend ist? Mein Eindruck war, dass das eine der Hauptstellschrauben ist. Hatte von den zwei anderen Faktoren noch nie bzw. selten etwas gehört, daher wundert es mich, dass der Artikel die Kühe kaum benennt.

Könnte natürlich sein, dass der Autor aus sozialen Beweggründen nicht vegan lebt und dann diese Lösung gar nicht erst ansprechen will, könnte aber auch sein, dass ich von der veganen Bubble gebiased bin.

I find that difficult. Aside from code reviews, often times your job as a maintainer is:

  • getting a refactor or code cleanup in while everyone's asleep
  • shuffling commits around between branches
  • fixing the CI toolchain
  • rolling back or repairing a broken change
  • unfucking the repo
  • fixing a security vulnerability

A required review slows all of these tasks to a crawl. I do agree that the kernel is important enough that it might be worth the trade-off.
But at the same, I do not feel like I could do my (non-kernel) maintainer job without direct commit access...

Yep, was recently looking some lighter pants and it felt like the two available choices were:

  • small pockets
  • all the pockets

Like, damn, how many items do you expect me to carry around everywhere?

Yep, in theory, I'm saving a lot of money by cooking food myself.

But in practice, I now eat lavish meals once, or sometimes twice, per day...

If anyone else was going to suggest decompiling, ^this is a decompiler.
