And Arch Linux instead of openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

Thank you! Solved!

Thank you for the information! Perhaps that’s what this setting is:

I will disable it and report back.

EDIT (2024-09-09T22:09Z): @ccf@lemmy.world, unfortunately, with that setting disabled, I still am experiencing the stuttering.

As of 2024-09-03T22:10:25.545Z, Starlink is now complying with Brazil’s X ban [1].

LibreOffice Draw?

If this is a legitimate test, note that there is a community specifically for this purpose: !test@lemmy.ml.

What’s the use of storing the timezone?

Imo, mostly QoL.

I guess; otherwise the order of commits would stop making sense.

Fundamentally, Git doesn’t require commits to be dated (I’m assuming some things about the protocol here — there might be something in the source code that does a check, but my point will still stand). Version control only cares about the changes from one thing to the next. The time at which the change occurred is irrelevant for this end. Things like committer names, committer emails, commit times, commit messages, etc. are QoL additions on top of what I view as the base git protocol. I’m not sure if there is an RFC which outlines Git in more detail, though. If someone is aware of such a standard, please share it.

unless you meant to auto-convert the local time to a unix timestamp, that could work. I’m overthinking stuff.

Personally, that’s what I presumed they were referring to. Either that, or just storing a UTC time. Technically, I suppose storing UTC is effectively storing a timezone, but not in the sense of what this post is talking about.

When else would this matter?

• When a committer doesn’t want their geographic location to be known.
• When a committer doesn’t want their contribution activity to be known.

commit contains your name and email address.

That is a bit of identifying, yes, but, arguably, not as personally identifying as a timezone. Furthermore, the manual nature of entering a username and email puts the agency on the person to choose how they wish that commit to be identified, but the time is generally chosen automatically. Unless one is paying close attention to the commit log, it’s likely that many wouldn’t notice the timezone. It’s also possible, and completely forgivable, imo, for one to assume that the timezone is only shown client-side, and isn’t actually recorded; it is only when one looks at the documentation that they will see that the timezone is indeed recorded.

these metadata can be freely manipulated

This is essentially what I am advocating for if one is trying to improve the privacy of their Git contributions.

and serve purely as information for other developers

Who are you scared of seeing your time zone in a commit on a seemingly public code repository? This is such a pointless non-discovery

Be careful about forming arguments from ignorance.

leak

In case the usage of that word is core to your argument, note that I have changed it from “leaks” to “exposes”.

So a documented core aspect of the tool is a leak.

A service/tool being documented doesn’t necessitate that that service/tool is private. All large social media companies, which seem to universally be understood as the antithesis to privacy, have very detailed terms and conditions that outline exactly what those services do. Do you think those services should be regarded as private because what they do is documented…?

Impressive research

I’m not sure why the condescension is warranted.

There’s never a wrong time to update Arch Linux!

I don’t have any fundamental issue with emojis when they’re used to expand meaning or provide clarity. Eg you could use an emotive emoji to show/clarify the intent/emotion of something. Imo, using emojis in this way is no different than the practice of adding a “/s” to denote sarcasm. When they get annoying is when they’re used superfluously; if they serve no purpose, then it’s just clutter.

I upgraded from 8GB to 16GB like 2 months ago.

When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).

gestures passionately “Download Lemmy!”

I’m feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.

What the fuck. That’s horrifying. I also though that every sensible workplace bans the use of AI.

I don’t see it as being different than any other tool. Aside from the ethical discussions, and assuming that it is being used as if it were simply a tool, if it increases productivity, then what’s the issue?

Yeah, I agree — it feels unnecessarily ambiguous.
