Twitter facilitated exactly what Elon set out to do with it.

What are you talking about?

just look at how often sites tell you that you “forgot” your password, despite knowing you haven’t

wtf are you talking about?

pics?

lol

Wow. Equally confident, equally confused.

The brain processes the information from the nerves.

How is it obvious?

Physical pain? Zero.

Did you think about this before you wrote it?

So that’s who listens to this garbage…

I actually wasn’t being negative, but carry on.

I understand approximately half of what you wrote, but I see quite a few people upvoted you. Is this what dementia is like?

Do you think the existence of the Linux kernel might’ve had an effect on how Hurd was prioritized? Also, FreeBSD wasn’t too far behind, chronologically.

I’m not saying Linux is unimportant (or even less important), but I think some folks here are pretty clueless about the significance of widespread DVCS adoption.

You’re thinking in terms of a single dev using revision control, but the person you responded to was referring to the higher level aspects of software development that git facilitates. In other words, you’ve completely missed the point.

As for the Linux kernel, if it hadn’t come along, we’d likely be living in FreeBSD-dominated world. Or, perhaps Hurd would’ve received more attention.

Torvalds didn’t create git because he was passionate about version control systems, he created it because the existing solutions were not adequate.

Git is a distributed version control system (DVCS) that facilitated a fundamental shift in how people collaborate on software projects in general. So, comparing it to SVN and downplaying the significance of Git suggests you’ve kind of missed the point.

Edit: with you on the other thing though - fuck Windows.

You probably need to learn a bit more about VCS fundamentals if you think Subversion would’ve been fine.

I don’t know why this specific thing is so common on Lemmy though, I don’t think it happened in reddit.

When you’re used to knowing a lot relative to the people around you, learning to listen sometimes becomes optional.

ehh… I think you’re missing the part where Microsoft is actively exploiting its customer base throughout its entire product catalogue - the likelihood that this is an actual win is no.

Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat.

Wow, very interesting! I really admire the way you make sense.

Censure is me yelling at you for using the wrong word.

It’s also because they fucking suck at managing complexity. Almost everything they make is fourteen arbitrarily named editions of the exact same bug-riddled trash we know and love. 365/Azure/fuckingentrawhat are barely usable. It’s almost like they specialize in UI synchronization bugs - but I remember this being a problem even with Windows 3.1.

I realize this isn’t a particularly hot take on Lemmy, but let’s not pretend that all software is equally deficient - because there absolutely are better options.
