  • Those 2 might very well cause issues sometimes, you should try and fiddle around with their settings on the websites that complain, or outright whitelist them if nothing works and you want to use them, other times it really is the browser or even more often an artificial check of the user agent string (dick move on the dev’s side), so if you spoof a Chromium browser it’ll start working right away






  • Don’t worry, the basics are really easy to git get down, you can read any beginner guide to start trying it out, for example this one on baeldung seems pretty alright by a quick skim, or, if you prefer a more playful approach, definitely check out ohmygit.
    If you want to try a git hoster as well, make a GitHub profile if you want to go where most everyone is, so you can also easily contribute to others’ projects, otherwise, if you care about staying on a free platform, make an account on Codeberg, fewer people, but all great like-minded free software supporters

    …or make one on both, ngl





  • oh my goodness, I feel so heard right now, that’s exactly as I always felt, I’m glad I’m not the only human obsessing over these things (well, not meaning that I enjoy your struggle lol).

    I also don’t want to be too personally identifiable

    I think you could do like some other accounts I’ve seen doing, merging their name and surname in some peculiar way, I did the same, but just for having a sort of unique, easy to use handle, I still keep my actual git username as my real one because I want to be identified with it. You on the other hand could do that and also use the same nickname as the git username. Another system I’ve always liked is to use this neat page on Perchance that generates an adjective-animal couple and they are so convenient for making up random names.
    If you go all out and keep one identity and in the clear too, big respect, I don’t do it because I never want to end up in a moment where I wonder “what I’m going to do is a bit in a gray area of acceptable, should I make a new account for this?” as that’s going to break all the continuity that is useful to stay connected with the community. When sioling the two identities, I can do everything with much more peace of mind.

    I laughed at “adult friendly” but that’s seriously apt.

    Very happy that the humor came across 😆
    And seeing how exotic/esoteric nix looks to older people, yes apt is way more adult friendly than nix
