    OP asked for:

    Just wanted hear about your opinion and experience, and if any of you care.

    I found the level of security required for basic functionality to be a hindrance. For small personal projects it felt like squashing a fly with a sledgehammer. A remote repo that is too much hassle to use is functionally the same as not using one.

    plus gitlab and sourcehut are so much better

    I think I’ll just edit out a mention of the platform I moved to. I wasn’t advocating for it. To be a bit more constructive - what makes those alternatives better?

    I’m very much of the opinion of “shit or get off the pot”. If you don’t want to swear, cool, don’t. Censoring it reminds me of all the exhausting nonsense and theatre related to “think of the children” (and more recently, “think of the advertisers”). None of that stuff does a lick of good for anyone, except perhaps the swindlers pushing it.

    […]because nearly everyone who speaks English is a capitalised pronouns user. I. The subject form of the first person pronoun. While it’s not a matter of importance to most people, it is still the proper form used in legal documents and anything else that needs to be done “correctly”. And it got that way because someone, at some point in history, felt their pronoun ought to be capitalised and convinced everyone else to generally agree.

    This is as far as I got. That isn’t why we capitalise “I”, as others have pointed out, and if the argument held true then we’d capitalise “Me” as well, which we don’t in English.

    You’ve clearly thought about this enough that anything I say isn’t going to change your mind, so I’m just addressing the actual argument being made in that opening paragraph because it’s categorically incorrect. I’m not going to bother reading the rest because I’m bored already. You might as well try to fight the tide on stuff like this.

    I say that as someone who got tired of people shortening their name and instead changed their name to one that cannot be shortened because it’s the only effective way to accomplish the objective.

    I’m somewhat tickled by the snippets of adverts I’ve seen for both Samsung and Apple’s new phones that mention “AI”. None of what I’ve seen has actually explained why it’s a selling point. Classic cart before the horse stuff.

    Ultimately I’m not the target market for flagship phones as the price has spiraled out of control to the point where I cannot fathom how it can be justified for such a mundane device.

    The number of drivers I see here in Wales that seem to feel that they should be allowed to drive whatever speed they want boggles my mind. It’s so tremendously selfish.

    Something that does amuse me is the number of drivers I see do 30 mph in the centre of my town - because it never makes any difference how quickly they get there. The traffic density is such that they simply end up waiting at the next traffic light, roundabout, junction, etc… The lights will change and they’ll zip off and I’ll chug along at 20 mph - only to meet them as they sit waiting. I’ve even had some of them overtake me to get to the red light sooner.

    Over entitled children.
