My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I'm now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

DuckDuckGo has an app which can block trackers system-wide on Android

~~Game mechanics can't be patented, only game assets (character models, etc)~~ I'm wrong!

Lol chill, I use Firefox. I can still call out good things in other browsers even if I don't like the browser as a whole for other reasons. None of what I said there was in support of chromium.

Brave can make micro payments to content creators based on the number of views to the site, directly supporting content creators without ads or the need to join the patreon for each creator. It's a fully optional system, off by default but prompted upon opening the browser for the first time. It's a cool idea but they kind of spoiled it by making it be a crypto wallet with ads to earn the crypto.

Also, Brave doesn't have a subscription...?

Honestly, despite the crypto, good on Brave browser for trying to subvert the advertising model by providing an actual monetization alternative

I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said "system out of memory". Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as "Nvidia game scanner service.exe" in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one

Yeah, never thought about this before, but how do blind users deal with captchas?

Have you used fish? The built-in fuzzy matching works pretty well for me. Wondering if there's any reason to add atuin in. Sync seems like a negative to me more than a positive.

Rust is a lot more niche and intimidating of a language compared to Swift. Swift is familiar to C++ devs, while modernizing the language and toolchain, and providing safety guarantees.

Also, Safari on Windows had low usage, and was probably a pain to maintain. Swift cross platform is more about abstracting out Apple specific things (like the standard library and UI toolkit). Apple has already been investing multi-year efforts into Swift on the server for longer than Safari on Windows existed. The last couple versions of Swift (~3-4years of development) have been almost entirely focused on safe concurrency, which is intended for server-side development.

Until I trigger the collapse mechanism, the last comment in a post doesn't have the number of subcomments when it hides subcomments by default. See the below pictures for an example with a specific post, but I've noticed this on every post I've seen recently.

If I reload by pulling down, it again hides the comment number.

After tapping to collapse the comment, comment count shows: After tapping

My instance has just upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.3 yesterday, but I don't see any of the new features (scaled sort etc). I tried logging out and back in (had to anyway as the subscriptions weren't showing). Switching to a different instance on 0.19.3 shows the correct features, but when I switch back, nothing.
