I also enjoy waiting for unnecessary pipelines to run again, because we must first rebase. ;-)

It's XKCD's "My code's compiling!" for 2022.

> Many WGU students HATE these types of articles, because they undermine the legitimacy of WGU.

New headline incoming:

> WGU graduates HATE this! Learn their SECRET, how YOU TOO could GRADUATE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS FOR ONLY $5,000

Points for honesty. Obligatory XKCD [0].

FYI: `git reflog` saves your ass when you accidentally delete a branch locally, only to then realize there were valuable commits yet to be pushed to master! How it does it is another matter.

Systems enabling high usefulness with little education (i.e. shallow learning curve, at least initially) and then incremental education are ideal. This isn't essential, just desirable. Git can err a little on the steep learning curve/mystery black box side of things a bit. But it is still a damn fine tool.

Thanks for calling this out. This is not something I would have thought to check myself. It's unfortunate the most common use of the word toxic is in a very abstract sense, but the behavior you identify is just plain unnecessary rudeness and a much more suitable use of the word.

Can we assume people are acting in good faith until we have reason to think otherwise? As highlighted by the green-is-yellow issue, it is OK to simply say, "Understood. The color scheme has been previously discussed, is popular and isn't currently considered for change. But you can configure it yourself by <link-to-documentation>..." The accusation of an entitled attitude appears a bit of a leap to me too. To be fair, while a tad rude in tone, the dev's second post is an improvement.

Or perhaps, "We don't have a lot of resources for this level of detail. Sorry." (Open-source honesty?) Or even, "If you wrote a patch taking the values from rxvt it would be considered but possibly rejected after discussing policy with lead devs."

Thanks for the tip. This is a rebranded Asus RT-AC68U and in the $200 sweet spot. Unfortunately it's a Broadcom-based device which means OpenWRT support is limited, but apparently DD-WRT has better support[0]:

> DD-WRT has a license agreement and NDA in place with Broadcom that allow usage of better, proprietary, closed source wireless drivers (binary blobs) which they are not allowed to redistribute freely.

What is good cheap consumer gear for putting OpenWRT on? Similar to WRT54G was, back in the day.

It was kinda funny, and not nasty at all. Let's assume good faith here?
