I have the same problem on mobile Firefox on Android. I'm using the default frontend as well. This was not happening a week ago (or maybe 10 days). Started recently.

Don't they already have the names Leap and Tumbleweed? Changing the name to Leap would make sense since it's the name of the "official LTS" version. At this point it sounds like "openSUSE" is the name of the project and not the distro. But I haven't been following them closely, so perhaps I'm wrong.

 

Coming from CVS and ClearCase it took me some time to adopt to Git. The fact that it was distributed was confusing at first, for example, because I thought that would cause chaos. But the way we used it was actually not "that distributed". But once I understood how it worked, not doing DVCS was "the wrong way" immediately.

Not having any personal projects is perfectly fine. Don't worry about it. Not everyone has to have their job as their hobby. Try other things (music, hiking, cooking, etc.). Try to find a hobby that makes you happy (if you don't already have one). That's way more important than having a public GitHub profile. And if a company decided not to hire you because of that, you basically dodged a bullet.

Because it is about a not-very-well-known feature of the language. Why would it matter that it's old? I don't think I have ever seen this in use in production code.

I no longer look forward to updates.
[...]
It seems to me that some software is actually getting worse, and that this is a more recent trend.
[...]
Why does this happen? I don't know, but my own bias suggests that it's because there's less focus on regression testing. Many of the problems I see look like regression bugs to me. A good engineering team could have caught them with automated regression tests, but these days, it seems as though many teams rely on releasing often and then letting users do the testing.

The problem with that approach, however, is that if you don't have good automated tests, fixing one regression may resurrect another.

Every time I see a new update, I think: "I wonder what will break after this update" and postpone them as much as I can. Software updates shouldn't cause anxiety. But they do these days...

Did you take a look at write freely or other blogging software with native ActivityPub support?

You can change the captcha using the refresh button next to it. But Nd is not a problem. Its atomic number is 60. You need to add up to 200. Fm: 100, Zr: 40. I knew that memorizing atomic numbers would pay back some day :P

Thanks. I will follow back when I figure out your Mastodon :)

I see that your blog focuses on Git. I'm not sure if you are aware, or not, but there is a Git community at https://programming.dev/c/git. Feel free to share links to your blogs.

Git has a steep learning curve and everyone has a different way of learning things. So, kudos for taking the time for trying to clarify things.

Some unsolicited feedback: Most of the time, I see people struggling with git checkout. And it's not without a reason. checkout has too much responsibility. Or, to put it in a more nuanced way, from the plumbing point of view it has a single responsibility, but from the user's point of view it has many. So, I try to suggest using switch and restore instead of checkout when appropriate. But old habits die hard, I still use checkout for both of those things. I found a concise Stackoverflow answer. Maybe it would also clarify things for your audience?

I wouldn't expect it to impact Fedora, but this will probably be significant for Rocky/Alma.
