If your small business is slightly larger (>50 employees I think?) you have to start paying for health insurance, which adds significantly to the cost of each full-time employee.

Single payer healthcare would be a huge boon to small businesses.

Stop! The MBAs can only get so erect

He did learn a hard lesson, but it sounds like this was exactly what he was attempting to rectify. “This project is pretty important to me. I should probably figure out how to use source control and put it on GitHub” but then by doing so, and due to some arguably poor UX decisions in VSC, destroyed the project.

If someone’s trying to learn how to do something you can’t just be like “well you should’ve already known how”, you know what I mean?

Well actually, let’s qualify that: there are cases where people try to jump right in the deep end. “I’m just learning woodworking! Step 1: build a new deck for my house”, like yeah bro what are you doing, let’s start with a birdfeeder or something.

But that’s not what happened here. He tried to use the built-in GUI, which many would assume would be easier to learn than jumping right to the CLI, and it burned him in a way he didn’t even realize was possible.

I mean, not entirely, and he says he lost months worth of work. Like imagine you know nothing of git:

• Click buttons in the IDE to add source control.

• IDE says a bunch of files have been changed.

• But I don’t want to make changes to the files, I want to source control them.

• Attempt to undo the changes. Click “discard changes” thinking it will put them back to how they were before clicking add source control. Get a warning dialog that this is not undoable, but that’s fine because I don’t want whatever changes it made to my files anyway.

• All files are deleted and unrecoverable.

Like that experience sucks balls and it’s reasonable that a person wouldn’t expect “discard” == “delete”. Also, from reading the GitHub thread, apparently at that time VSCode was doing a git clean when you clicked this. Which like…yeah why the hell would it do that lol? I don’t think I have ever used git clean in my entire career.

It seems like he was trying to learn though? He clicked it, like “hell yes I want source control, let’s figure this out”

“It says all my files are changed? Oh shit why did it change my files? Shit fuck, undo, how do I undo…Do I want to discard the changes? I don’t even know what it changed. Yes please undo whatever changes you did to my files”

And poof.

Wtf? Not being able to find shit that I saw a few days ago on Lemmy drives me nuts. It’s not like I remember which community on which instance I saw it. Why would we not want good search?

US Republicans have successfully pushed a narrative that the left is “all about censorship”

You got too many swimmers bro, I can’t even

And YouTube. And Facebook. And Reels.

Yeah can we not do this again? We don’t need a news article any time Trump blinks. Like, there’s plenty of bad and crazy shit he’s doing as-is, no need to mountain all the molehills.

This is part of the reason the “90% of stuff you hear about Trump is bullshit” narrative currently being pushed by right-wing social media is working so well.

The most common type of gender affirming care is boys spontaneously developing breasts and wanting them removed. Nothing to do with being trans.

I’m sure once some high-ranking Republican’s son is getting bullied relentlessly for having titties, they’ll rethink their position.

It’s wild that right wingers are always complaining about big tech censoring them when YouTube and Facebook are pushing far-right content so much
