  • Oh no, you’re getting it wrong.
    I only found the person responsible for giving me the feeling of helplessness and made them helpless.

    The other people’s lives?
    Well, I just pulled of the lever, so now nobody has the opportunity to make that choice, hence no dilemma. And who got run over in the end, I didn’t check. I didn’t know whether or not the direction got changed when I was breaking off the lever. Also, I didn’t really stop the train either, so I only stopped the dilemma from happening. I didn’t save any ppl.










  • Did you not know?
    You can simply select all files you want to commit, in the File Manager, Ctrl+C, then paste in the terminal and it will automatically add all those file names (full paths) separated with spaces at the cursor. At least in KDE: Dolphin -> zsh + Konsole it does.

    And sure, it might look like 2 extra steps, but you will still be clicking around a lot in case of a GUI anyway.

    I tend to just type partial filenames and use tab completions, which are also pretty configurable. And the only dissatisfaction I have rn, is that I don’t have zsh module for completions with pascal case and snake case.


  • That’s definitely how it is seen.
    If I were to see “Discard Changes” anywhere in a dialogue, I would assume it will discard whatever changes I made in that dialogue. In this case, probably some source control related changes. If it were to say “Warning: This will Discard ALL changes!!!”, I might do a double take, but had I never used git CLI before, I would still assume that at most it would discard “ALL” changes made in the current session.

    For me personally, I would consider it more useful for it to say:

    This action will delete the following files:
    - followed
    - by
    - a
    - list
    - of
    - files
    - that
    - would
    - be
    - deleted
    Continue?
    

    Which neither has to look like a warning, acting like you might be doing something you don’t want to and also is much more useful for someone like me who wants to double check what exactly I am deleting.


    Also, I have used git CLI before and apart from being able to see blame in the editor itself and maybe a better representation of tree, I don’t feel the need to use any git GUI tool. Even when I tried, I realised it was slower and more finicky to use. So, it would stand to reason that it should be targetted towards people who don’t use CLI (and might have never used git CLI).

    Oops! I thought it was some obscure DE.

    Considering your points, it seems to be most probably some configuration issue.
    Might even be that some of the automated monitor/display configuration tools (might be some GUI settings thing) wonked out and reconfigured something.

    If your system has some shortcut combination for selecting external monitor/connected projector/mirror screen, perhaps you can try that.

    Also, since you mentioned xrandr, I would assume X Session. You can also use xrandr to check and set the monitor configuration. Not just whether it is connected, but also location (left/right/up/down) and screen resolution of each display separately. Perhaps trying those could tell you what is happening.
