That's the funny thing about UI/UX - sometimes changing non-functional colors can hurt things.

Exactly why I surmised they may not want to keep it there: https://programming.dev/comment/8019112

At some point, you lose productivity and reduced work weeks have shown increases in productivity can happen.

My go-to solution for this is the Android FolderSync app with an SFTP connection.

I'm not familiar with creating fonts specifically, but you'll want to commit any resources necessary to recreate the font file, including any build scripts to help ease the process and instructions specifying compatible versions of tooling (FontForge in this case). Don't include FontForge in the repository, of course.

The compiled font files should be under releases in GitHub for the repository.

Git isn't generally meant for binary resources but as long as they're not too large, they'll be fine. You just may not have meaningful ways to compare changes easily.

I mean, sysvinit was just a bunch of root-executed bash scripts. I'm not sure if systemd is really much worse.

Systemd was created to allow parallel initialization, which other init systems lacked. If you want proof that one processor core is slower than one + n, you don't need to compare init systems to do that.

Correction: migrated to GitLab, but I don't expect they'll want to keep it there.

The Nuzu repository is already wiped.

I already left the Messages app after the Shortcut Bar annoyance. This would have been another death knell to me that the app is past its prime.

With UI decisions like the shortcut bar, they really don't. I switched to another SMS app because I couldn't stand it.

I've been disappointed in general with the XPS line in recent years. Dell has made some keyboard changes that I am not a fan of:

  • A touch bar instead of function keys? Why? Did they not learn from Apple's mistake?
  • Changing Fn + Left to Page Down instead Home? And Fn + Right to Page Up instead of End? Once again, why?

I've been purchasing the XPS line of laptops since 2013, but I stopped as soon as those changes landed and the Developer Edition of their laptops shipped with inferior hardware compared to the Windows ones.
