That's great news. A lot better than last time I tried to make it work.

Consistent styling helps make the actual meaningful changes easier to spot. Probably also useful for your own commit history when working solo in a repo, but most useful in a team, yeah!

I mean, I could hope to live that long!

Thanks! I've actually done it before back in the days when Mint was quite new,and I'm a programmer by trade (although mostly on Mac) so I'm not too worried about it, but I don't have a second drive (and don't really want one given a 2TB NVME drive) so I'd want to do all the backups first, at least for important stuff like my friend and I's Minecraft server. For a computer I barely use it hasn't felt worth it. Most of my computer time (outside of work) is on my Mac laptop.

Those are good questions that I don't have the answers to. Although from the research I did at the time it seems most likely they were purchased with regional pricing in a lower price region.

No, I just haven't had the time and energy to do something better. Happens when you're approaching middle age and have health problems.

Thar makes sense, although I am generally not trying to use the keyboard at the same time (to be honest I was not aware you could filter a finder view like that, I thought it only ran search and I have never found MacOS's search to be satisfactory)

Apparently the AI cesspool is deeper than I even imagined. Gross.

Interesting, I'm not aware of any way they would affect compile errors. I'd be curious to know more.

Fair enough, I like it better without but I don't have a strong preference and have no issue adapting to whatever the style of the repo is.

I learned about it researching tools to automatically enforce formatting style and came across StandardJS, which eliminates them by default.

I don't doubt it, but do you happen to have a source?

The only plus side I guess is I only use that computer for a bit of gaming and not for anything else, and i did manage to turn of automatic updates before they AI-ified everything. If I had more time and energy in my day I'd dual boot it, maybe some day.
