Reminder that Politico is owned by Axel-Springer-Verlag, a very conservative, sensationalist, and manipulating German tabloid publisher. There biggest "newspaper" is the Bild-"Zeitung", which is on the same level as the Sun or the National Inquirer. You probably shouldn't read them, they propagate hate and culture war.

I don't know if you're joking, but in case you're not: git reflog and git reset --hard HEAD@{n} is your friend. You can undo almost anything. Deleted commits and branches aren't really deleted. Remotely deleted branches can be pushed again.

Except for an (accidental) git restore/git reset. Those are permanent and can't be undone.

Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 can be purchased today through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Program, at $61 USD per device for Year One. The price doubles every consecutive year, for a maximum of three years.

Welp. Thanks, but no thanks.

This is how TextSecure worked before it was renamed to Signal and removed SMS support.

There is a completely free, add-less social network: Mastodon. But for some obscure reason, "nobody" wants to use it. Instead, everyone is moving to BlueSky.

I don't think costs are the reason for people not using certain social networks. Simplicity and ease-of-use is. And federated networks suffer hard from this, because simply explaining the way they work is too much for people. They want to read and post stuff, and not think about which server to pick so that they can get the biggest audience.
