Here are the two scripts what I'm using. Perhaps read them and learn. It seems more complicated than what it exactly is.

By no means I'm not an authority on this subject either. Launcher is based on Escape from Tarkov and has its needed dll overrides because it's probably one of the more complicated things around so far at least in my vidya.

>due to 2 divergent sources of truth
In case this means "work profile and personal one", the elegant way to solve this is with `direnv`, adding an .envrc in the respective directories with two lines:
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="<work|personal> name"
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="<work|personal>@email"

This way, when you are in path/to/work, git automatically uses work configuration, and when you change to path/to/personal – the personal config.
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Environment-Variables

Fun fact: the first 6 results returned by DuckDuckGo for this stuff were AI slop domains with the same exact content and a few words altered, and none had even a mention of environment variables despite these having the highest priority for git.
The sixth AI slop website was GitHub.

>there are people who still use BIOS over UEFI and turn off secure boot in the year 2025 on this board
What the fuck is your problem?

UEFI/GPT has been the standard for a decade. UEFI supports larger drives, boots faster because UEFI runs in 32/64-bit mode rather than 16-bit mode, handles initializing multiple hardware devices during boot better than BIOS/MBR, and supports modern hardware better than BIOS/MBR in general. Unless you have an ancient computer, it is almost certainly UEFI/GPT OTB.

I can't think of a reason to use BIOS/MBR if your computer supports UEFI/GPT.

ITT we share helpful firefox user_prefs that make it better. I'll start.

user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.warning.timeout", 0);

This removes the annoying banner saying press ESC to exit fullscreen every time you fullscreen a yt video.

user_pref("media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.has-used", true);
user_pref("browser.engagement.downloads-button.has-used", true);

With this in your user.js before you open the browser it won't popup instructions on obvious features. I have a pretty big user.js based on betterfox that disables telemetry and toggles all the settings the way I like them so it's completely configured on install without doing anything, and then I've added a bunch of minor quality of life conveniences like these. Share yours anons.

We do it by either giving things a yes, no, or not sure. Than we do a second (or third) round clicking on the "Unsure" filter, just to see those. So we do go back and forth between those quickly. And I emphasize "we" because it's a family affair, all sharing the TV.

>getting a zero-data-retention Claude endpoint is trivial
>Elaborate on this?
Sorry for going away, if you're still here I was implying creating an Openrouter account with a Metamask account and paying in crypto. And then using Claude from one of the zero-data-retention providers like Google Vertex (and yes, it's actually zero data retention because corpos have compliance issues to worry about with hospitals and stuff moreso than worrying about you masturbating to something gross)

Paying for Claude a la carte is really expensive so personally I only do this for "illegal" nsfw erotica stuf, even erotica with 18+ characters or "borderline" stuff like vibe coding a toddler ballet studio videogame is probably fine on Claude Code. You'd be surprised how many people type "little girl naked porn" into YouTube search, like so many that it shows up on your analytics for "what people searched for to find your videos" if you have a channel with over 5k subscribers I'm not joking
>>
>>107634694
>>getting close
>>run out of credits
You gotta get the subscription if you're serious about vibe coding. You get like 120 dollars worth of Claude a month for 30 bucks a month. It's essential and you get it's money worth after a single week's worth of usage allowance

I try to write things down and memorize them. I would start by writing about my experience in the field, the technologies I am most comfortable with, or my studies.

The idea is that, when the day comes, you don't read what you've written, but rather have a strong foundation in the ideas you want to communicate with the correct wording.
