Hi, I am that nerd, it’s Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open taskmgr, actually.

…I hope to be able to develop a similar level of nerd when I switch to Linux soon

More like slaughtering a perfectly healthy horse when all it needs is new horseshoes.

Yep, that’s the brainwashing!

In addition to what another poster said about getting an off-site backup hard drive, I would recommend looking into setting up a raid array for data redundancy with your online storage. You don’t want one hard drive failure to make all of your data inaccessible.

Holy forking shirtballs

I entered a gold tier password for Golden Sun: The Lost Age so I have that shit locked down

Hobbyist myself so no worries! Git is one example of source control / version control software. You normally have your local working copy of a repository and then a remote where you push your changes when they are finished or to share them with others.

What makes you think a server was involved here? It was a local repository, evidenced by the reporter’s bewilderment that files can be deleted without going to the Recycle Bin first. Which tells us that in addition to VCS, they were unfamiliar with Windows as well.

That’s definitely fair, creating a repository in a non-empty directory could definitely suggest auto-committing the current state if it doesn’t already. I don’t use VSCode so I wouldn’t know.

Although now that I think about it, that could have been the intention here but not automatic, if that’s why 5k+ files were staged without the user explicitly staging them. Extra tragic if that’s the case.

It’s changes from the prior commit in the repository, which, if they had not committed anything prior, would have been an empty directory.

This is perhaps a good lesson in teaching version control as its own concept rather than “streamlining it” by bundling it with an editor.

I tend to avoid games that have that sort of anticheat already, but that looks very useful. Thanks for sharing!

Very relatable. Unfortunately we just don’t live in a world where that’s currently possible right now.

I’m planning to switch to some Linux or other at end of support for W10. I’m hoping Proton will take care of most of the games I want to play, and a single-purpose Windows VM will take care of the rest, if that’s not too big of a security risk to the host OS.

well, if whatever code automatically turns plaintext links into hyperlinks isn’t Markdown related, then it’s still the instance or client you’re using that has the problem. before they edited the trailing space in, it was working correctly on my end. You should consider looking into it and filing a bug.

That would seem to be a failure of your client’s or instance’s Markdown parsing. The link works correctly from Mbin.

High chance that it’s a Python programmer who is really unhappy about having to work in Java, lol

Heck yeah. It hearkens back to the days of Current Events vs. Random Insanity, and probably much earlier
