Here’s another. You being you isn’t a line of defence if someone decides to murder you on a date.

Serious answer then: you won’t be fired for being yourself.

When I had this conversation with a trans mate (who had a fucking awful Daily Heil-reading co-worker with no notion of what was appropriate conversation for the workplace) I said, “hang on a moment, isn’t [being fired over being out] illegal?” He said, “yes, but it doesn’t stop it happening.”

I believed him - he was living it, he had the experience. Conversations with him involved me getting smacked in the face with my own privilege on a regular basis. You have it easy.

Ken Livingston (back when he was mayor) famously referred to the US Ambassador as a “chiselling little crook” for the continued nonpayment of fines (I think it was in the millions even then).

Once the water companies were privatised, they took out massive loans and performed no maintenance. The loans were purely to pay shareholder dividends. Now they’re loaded down with debt.

Atop this, that crumbling infrastructure can’t handle the increased water flow that’s due to rainfall increases. So there’s been a general trend of dumping raw sewage into rivers (the fines are cheaper op ex than the capex needed to fix the situation).

It’s parasitic capitalism at its finest.

Fab, cheers.

Dare I ask what the adjective “hella” means in this context?

The issue with this is the same as with the mayoral system. The next tine the Tories get a turn, they replace it with FPTP and claim it’s “more democratic”.

What are the permissions on the directory? What is command are you running to edit the file? What command are you running to delete it? (Have you got selinux turned on? What filesystem is this directory on?)

It’s all the files. Content-addreasable storage means that they might not take up any more space. Smart checkout means they might not require disk operations. But it’s the whole tree.

Came here to say the same thing. The git book is an afternoon’s reading. It’s well worth the time - even if you think you know git.

People complain about the UX of the cli tool (perhaps rightly) but it’s honestly little different from the rest of the unix cli experience: ad hoc, arbitrary, inconsistent.

What’s important is a solid mental model and the vocabulary of primitive and compound operations built with it. How you spell it in the cli is just a thing you learn as you go.

Came here to mention laser cooling; glad someone else got there first.
