I'd be fine with that, although I can only edit the title.

Another option would be https://html-props.dev/

> I worried that there might be a lot of iterations where one or two of the options would be things that the person didn't understand, or didn't care about.

I won't disagree here, it would be tedious.

> picking what they understand and don't dislike, then the 'vs' system is there for helping determine the order of those items

Sounds promising to me.

> Carriage returns in bash scripts are cursed

Also the full story here seemed to be

1. Person installs git on Windows with autocrlf enabled, automatically converting all LF to CRLF (very cursed in itself in my opinion).

2. Does their thing with git on the Windows' side (clone, checkout, whatever).

3. Then runs the checked out (and now broken due to autocrlf) code on Linux instead of Windows via WSL.

The biggest footgun here is autocrlf but I don't see how this is whole situation is the problem of any Linux tooling.

New comment by MzHN in "Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down"

MzHN — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 06:02:56 +0000

I desperately want to like Bruno, since I think it might not do the same rugpull as Postman and Insomnia.

But the UX is just terrible (for me) or at least has been every time I've tried to start using it more.

I mean, come on, the most basic use of creating a request goes like this:

1. Sorry, can't let you create a request before you create a collection.

2. Sorry, can't let you create a collection before you make a decision on in which path you will be storing all your collections.

3. Sorry, can't let you create a request before you think of a good name for it.

etc.

Like what the heck? This should be just one click to create a new untitled request then fill in the URL and send.

At first I thought this might be growing pains since it was new but every year I try it and it hasn't improved.

Not an expert on how this will affect the results but since the list is so long, would it be better to show visitors two random-ish features at a time and have them pick the one they care more about? Or at least offer that kind of UI as an option or the default, and the current list for those who want more control.

`git reparent origin/main -n 3` sounds a lot like `git rebase --onto origin/main HEAD~3` and `git move-branch from to` sounds like `git branch -f from to`.

I love backup branches as much as anyone but I'd also recommend getting used to `git reflog` or perhaps `git log --all --oneline --graph --reflog` if you're worried about losing commits.

There is one* footgun in git that you can't just reflog your way out of and it's stashes because they piggyback off of the reflog, so dropping stashes will also remove them from the reflog. In those cases you can still visualize them with `git fsck --connectivity-only | grep 'dangling commit' | awk '{print $3}' | xargs git log --oneline --graph --all --reflog`.

*(as long as you've committed your changes, if not then there are way more)

> First of all, your donations to Mozilla don't go to funding the browser.

This is exactly my point. They should establish direct Firefox donations. I agree that it won't change anything overnight, but they need to start somewhere.

Yes! My pet peeve is people keep saying "no one would pay" or "it wouldn't work" but the thing is, as far as I know, it has never been tried.

For example Thunderbird is fully funded by donations.[1]

Of course Thunderbird's budget is in a different magnitude than Firefox but I'd guess the amount of users is also in a different magnitude.

Of course Thunderbird's budget is in a different magnitude than Firefox but I'd guess the amount of users is also in a different magnitude.

As far as I know there has never been an attempt to fund Firefox by donations. You can _only_ donate to Mozilla, which does not go to Firefox development.

People keep saying it wouldn't work but it has also never been attempted so we do not know for sure.

New comment by MzHN in "Ask HN: Which Firefox add-ons are you using in 2025?"

MzHN — Thu, 08 May 2025 12:18:04 +0000

My masochist anti-tracking set up:

- uBlock Origin with "Disable JavaScript" checked in the settings. Only enable for specific sites.

- Temporary Containers with "Automatic Mode" checked in the settings. Also MMB and Ctrl + LMB always open links in new temporary container. This provides full session isolation for all tabs. There are permanent named containers for logged-in services like email that are only used for email. Outbound links from email for example open in a new temporary container.

All browsing by default happens in a clean isolated session with JS disabled unless explicitly allowed.

I also have Behind The Overlay Revival for when I'm too lazy to zap elements with uBO.
