I'm shocked nobody has a made a visual GUI to abstract git's weird API. There's sourceTree and whatnot, but it's so bad. So, so bad.
Try Fork, it's still obviously git, but it's the easiest I've found so far: https://git-fork.com/

No longer a friend?
"Old mate" is an Australian/NZ colloquial term for someone who you either don't know or don't want to name.
What's the point of these AI replies?

Cool. Will try it out. Can I ask you a question?

What's 40x? I feel brain challenged today as I can't understand what that means in this context.
They mean 40 separate 3D printed parts: https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-CNC-machine/blob/main/BIL...

Okay, you convinced me that this is a good idea.
I can get a domain pretty easily but I hate the idea of managing my own email. Do you recommend a particular provider? Zoho or something?
I can strongly recommend 33Mail for this. I've used it for years with zero hiccups. $1/month allows you to connect a custom domain. https://33mail.com/

I switched to Firefox for Android after several attempts by DoubleClick to infect my device with malware. Funnily enough Chrome does ship with a setting which makes this kind of hijacking a lot harder. It was off by default and hidden in an obscure menu that wasn't accessible via the UI. Enabling it for everyone would probably lose them too much ad revenue I suspect.
Could you please share what this setting is, and how to access it?

There is no reason anyone needs 100 different passwords and/or those passwords to rotate. This is terrible advice, you don't need it and you shouldn't do it.
As of current, haveibeenpwned hasn't found any breaches connected to my current email address, which I switched to around three years ago. Which is to highlight: Most breached password data is really, really old. A surprising number of breaches come via an email address I was only signing up for accounts on more than six or seven years ago.
Furthermore, most of your accounts don't matter. Things like your email, your bank, your web hosting, need to be secured well. An account you used once to sign up for a newsletter does not. Don't save your credit card info in every single web store you log into, and your security on those accounts don't matter either.
Focus your security and your password uniqueness and complexity on accounts that matter, and stop caring about ones that don't. People have reached security overload after being told all of their accounts must be secured, and then offloaded the problem to a bad solution.
But with a password manager, you don't need to make that distinction. If it's trivial to make all passwords unique, why not do it?

Here are some of my super secret ideas that will help you take over the world. If you use any of these ideas you agree to remember me when you get rich (you don't actually have to give me any money, just drink champagne and think happy thoughts about me)
- Group purchasing for work - what if you wanted to break the cost of a Foosball table up over a group of people. It's cheap if you have enough people involved.
- App for finding which stores are open at 11pm (or on Sunday in places where most things are closed on Sunday)
- Swarm - Reverse how people get taxis, register that you're looking for a taxi and expose to taxi drivers where all the people are
- Reverse registry - wedding registries are obnoxious...register your gift so that people don't buy the same thing.

> Group purchasing for work
I use https://www.splitwise.com/ for this. Works well for everything from big expenses to burgers. Use it in my flat too.
