    Seems incredibly unlikely, doesn't it? (I hope for the same thing but it feels almost like wishful thinking!)

    Yeah, I think it's largely a UI issue! I really want a UI that lets me review distinct changes that are dependent on each other, and handle comments/changes neatly within that stru…

    I think we're saying the same thing, that's how I use stacked PRs.

    Comment #49113981

    Here's a common flow where I find stacked PRs are useful: - I want to build feature X - Ah, but it would work better if I refactored the module first - I refactor then build featur…

    Really excited to try this. After using Graphite it's been very hard going back to stack-less GitHub. Hopefully this can make the stacked PR workflow more common and give people an…

    I think this app is a great example of AI-driven app creation!

    I generally rely on LMArena for this: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/code/webdev/pareto But it does take some days after model release before they collect enough data.

    Interesting; I was looking for a replacement for Strong for iOS just yesterday. Strong was a great app but the dev hasn't been keeping up-to-date with iOS features like live activi…

    I tried to list all the traits I could think of: - Orange/beige-ish colors - Rounded corners - Cards with a thin border - A thicker colored border on the left of cards - Serif font…

    > moving code repos into a decentralised hosting environment It's unclear to me what Entire means by decentralized. Based on their most recent blog post ( https://entire.io/blog/an…

    The price seems sensible to me, these AAA titles are expensive to create. Not that it'll affect me personally; I'm not buying this game after Rockstar's [union busting][1]! [1]: ht…

    I'm using Bunny DNS and it's been mostly unremarkable (which is a very good thing for a DNS provider)! The only annoyance is that their domain import auto-detects existing records,…

    Sure thing. If you view his X profile without logging in, nearly all his top posts demonstrate what I mean: advocating for remigration (i.e. ethnic cleansing), comparing Muslims to…

    Because no one has mentioned it here: Lars Andersen is also a right-wing extremist who regularly posts racist content on social media. His privacy/free speech activism seems to be …

    When Bluesky got DDoS'ed then, many people switched to using another AppView like Blacksky and things worked just fine. But this is indeed somewhat technical; in an ideal world cli…

    In AT you also get communities, in the same way that twitter had weird twitter, black twitter, and so on. But because you, by design, don't really see what PDS people use, it's mor…

    Most decentralized systems I can think of tend to follow a power law distribution (roughly) where one or a few platforms dominate. In the fediverse that's mastodon.social (or maybe…

    I'm not sure there is such a thing as "true" decentralization :) In my mind it's more of a buffet of tradeoffs rather than a single sliding scale. FWIW, in the AP world there are s…

    (OP here) I'd love to see more decentralized alternatives out there! AFAICT there is no actually-existing ForgeFed instances that I could use today, but I'm keeping an eye on it - …

    This would make sense but seems unlikely to me, because the people involved come across as incredibly offline.

    If you use bsky.app, you still see posts from other servers (Blacksky, Eurosky, W Social, and so on). But yes, by the protocol's design you're primarily interacting with one centra…
