Globally, it’s 50%, but local French (>85%) businesses could already go IPv6-only and force others to adopt it

Git Without Stash/Tags

Wouldn't git be simpler without stashes and tags?

Tags can be deleted and recreated, so they are just like branches and not immutable as some claim.

Same goes for stashes. They are commits which can't be pushed. Stashes could be implemented by creating a new branch and committing both with a generated name.

Am I missing something? Do both things provide more value than they add complexity/things to learn? :)

We are working on a fast reading font which works by using just opentype features (no server or other script required)

We also created some emoji fonts: https://github.com/Born2Root/Feature-Fonts

they are _not_ backwards compatible. That's a big part of the problem. A trailing comma is a syntax error for an SQL engine without support for it

hosting such videos on YouTube alternatives (even federated once) would be even better. I.e Blender has a peertube instance video.blender.org

there are many projects implementing this style, but I haven't seen one coming up with a font based solution, nice
