it's weird that it happened twice

Everyone who dabbles in programming eventually learns :q. Not everyone learns :wq.

I've been loving Source Hut, but they're not ready to handle GitHub-level usage

Microsoft is going to continue to increase their monetization of GitHub. It's going to get worse, not better.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Is the problem that they're not using matrix? Or do you prefer that it was still all on IRC? I don't hate IRC but it's definitely way less user friendly.

You're not wrong but I don't love the implication that people who use wheelchairs aren't healthy

Adding to your point: the freedom to petition the government for the redress of grievances is not just in the Bill of Rights, it's also in the Magna Carta.

I'm in the USA and we've been able to file our federal taxes for free online for like a decade, I'm not sure what these people are talking about. What's new here is that this is the IRS's official tool.

Previously we had to use an outside service -- but it was -- and still is -- free for normal people/people with normal taxes (eg I have 3 kids and a mortgage and I use it every year). State taxes are another story -- that's usually about $20. And that probably hasn't changed; state taxes have nothing to do with our IRS.

As you get older, the thing that's "the process" changes -- dating stops being the process, and life becomes the process. Dating just gets annoying.

Idk about you but for me this turned out to be just a weird looking fear of commitment. It felt like fomo, but once I realized what it was, it .. well, I didn't stop thinking about other girls right away, but it lost its power to make me actually lose interest in the girl I was with.

I'm still with the girl I was with when I realized all this, so, imo that's pretty meaningful.

(Fwiw I never stopped "thinking" about other girls but now it's very unreal. I've been with my wife for 15 years and the idea of going back through all that intro relationship bullshit sounds like torture -- plus, odds are, whoever she is won't be better than my wife, and, of course, it would super hurt my wife's feelings, and probably mine too, and I really like her feelings not to be hurt. Also we have kids, which raises the bar for how shitty the relationship with my wife would have to be in order to spilt up.)

That's some sociopath shit right there. But tbh white hat is better -- the people that did this are guaranteed steady paychecks for the rest of their lives, with a lot lower stress than getting one big payday and having to look over your shoulder your whole life
