I can't even

I enjoy lurking HN but many of the opinions I see there about cloud and AI are Luddite-level.

Those sound fancy, I just use renamed txt files.

FDM does some clever things to boost download speeds. It splits up a download into different chuncks, and somehow downloads them concurrently. It makes a big difference for large files (for example, Linux ISOs).

That sounds like so much work! I mean even just the website design, you'd need to extensively learn front-end best practices, CSS, JavaScript libraries... Clicks link

It's still my favorite download manager on Windows. It often downloads file significantly faster than the download manager built into browsers. Luckily I never installed it on Linux, since I have a habit of only installing from package managers.

Do you know of a good download manager for Linux?

What did they cut? Mummies?

On the other hand there's also an overrepresentation of tankies. I don't think those are the same people.

I don't know your life but that goal sounds achievable.

Git Flow is awful I absolutely agree. On the other hand I like GitHub Flow.

How is dynamic typinf faster? Is typing num = 1 instead of int num = 1 really that much faster?

Git Flow and GitHub Flow are entirely different branching strategies.

Yes it has actually.

Even if I did fully trust my instance, I also would have to trust any instance I message with.

I personally just use Lemmy for public comments.

Unless I run a Lemmy instance myself (which is possible), I have zero reason to trust an instance's admins.

Even if my instance's admin happens to be the founder of privacyguides.org, that doesn't mean he will never read any "private" messages (or be forced by someone else to hand them over).

Sounds like me. I signed up to Twitter in 2010 but practically never used it. The short message format never appealed to me and I always thought it was dumb. The heavy focus on politics also put me off.

However if Mastodon is interesting I'm willing to give it a try! Do most people use it anonymously or with their real names?

Haha I am not a lawyer either and I don't even watch Legal Eagle. I still barely understand the Java lawsuit. Nevertheless I do take an active interest in open source licenses, considering I make open source code contributions myself (I even have some Terraform projects that I open-sourced).

I remember reading an article by a lawyer saying they love Apache License because it's permissive and unambiguous.

It's not retroactive. Terraform 1.5.5 version and all below versions will forever remain with their original license. Forks can also be based on that version.

I have a love-hate relationship with Jira. Overall, I guess we are able to make good use of it in my team and it does actually help keep track my work (both for myself and my manager). Most of the complaints I might have against Jira are more about dealing with Scrum BS than Jira itself.

As for the software itself, the only thing I really dislike is text formatting. I wish Jira just used Markdown, but instead they have their own WYSIWYG editor. Which would be fine if it worked properly... Almost every time I create a ticket or comment, text formatting gets messed up after posting (especially numbers and bullet points).

The text formatting is also inconsistent with other Atlassian. Bitbucket and Confluence have some support for Markdown but they each do it differently. Using all three of these Atlassian products should feel like a unified experience, and in many ways it is, but text formatting is an inconsistent buggy mess.

What alternatives do you like?
