The link is 404’d for me.

It’s entirely clear why the change was done

No, like please explain it!!! WTF

What was the big crime of this maintainers?

Exactly, and even if he booted them from the maintainers list, why does he revert the code changes as well? ON WHAT BASIS!?

LINUS YOU FUCK

FUCK

Naive question: why haven’t a bunch of countries gotten together and done anything about this yet?

I have an equally important question: What’s a free way to get fast food?

I guess I appreciate the honesty. If they never said the quiet part out loud I might start thinking I was gaslighting myself with all of this criticism of capitalism.

Yo what? I want to watch this now

Thanks!

Why do these outlets hate posting the original clip so much? Can I see the video or not?

Leftypol seems to be down right now, anyone know what’s going on?

Why do people favour solar and wind over nuclear? You wouldn’t need as much land for the nuclear output and it can reliably generate huge amounts of power…

Leftychan.net exists exactly because the mod team on .org cannot be worked with. It’s run democratically and most people that go there agree it’s better than leftypol.

Please explain for non-burgers

Yesterday I was writing a git commit message. I have my terminal configured to use vim to do this. I wrote half of a lengthy explanation with a very long chain of thought and paused for a second to proofread. Then I turned around and accidentally mashed a button which pasted my clipboard all over my nice message. I was like fuck I’ll just undo, but I guess I hit more than one key because after hitting undo i was left with a blank message.

I thought I had to start writing from scratch and then remembered that vim has time travel. I’m not joking. You just say :earlier 2m and it goes back to the state two minutes ago. But here’s the thing it actually has branched history, kind of like git. If you undo and then make some modifications you have made an alternate branch in the history. I hit g- (or g+ I forget) and got my message back.

Having flipping time travel with every possible history is an absolutely batshit insane thing to implement into a “simple” editor, and I seldom use this feature, but it actually saved my ass and I’m glad people like Bram spent what was probably an eternity on implementing stuff like that.
