This is an acknowledgement from Uncle Bob that the book didn't stand the test of time. We won't know before the new edition is out, but I suspect those pointless refactorings will not be in it any longer.
Don't they already have the names Leap and Tumbleweed? Changing the name to Leap would make sense since it's the name of the "official LTS" version. At this point it sounds like "openSUSE" is the name of the project and not the distro. But I haven't been following them closely, so perhaps I'm wrong.
Not sure but that sounds like you have a problem with your Git installation (or a dependency of Git). Maybe a reinstallation can solve that.
I understand the "why would I pay for this" reaction. I think crowdsourcing is a better approach for these kinds of content. Once you reach certain level of financial commitment from the crowd, you can give away the PDF and sell the print copy.
git branches are just homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space
Yeah, once you realize that everything falls into place.
The shape of that bottle is creepier than the text.
I believe you can replace start with the command that is suitable for your system (e.g., xdg-open for linux).
The only such transition I was involved in was switching from TFS to Git, and there was no discussion. It was the obvious thing to do and for a while we needed to support some developers who are new to Git.
So, it all depends on the type of change you want to implement. Most people don't think much about a piece of software being open is significant. That's why the main selling point should be the product itself. Especially in organizations openness alone is not a strong enough argument.
But with individuals, it may help to inform people about FOSS instead of just suggesting alternatives ("Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Stallman/Torvalds?"). If the individual doesn't understand or subscribe to the values, the switch may be temporary. My 2 cents. Hopefully others will come up with better tactics.
If you are thinking about transitioning an organization to open source, pricing and vendor lock-in are generally good arguments.
If you are thinking about helping individuals transition, that's a bit more difficult. Pricing could still work, but is not always that effective. It boils down to the willingness to try something new.
In both cases projects with good documentation and a healthy community also helps, but if the open alternative lacks features, it's a though sell.
I am not concerned about not having anything to show for my free time. I am just not finding interest doing stuff which could indicate something worse.
You are not alone. It's not easy to find an engaging free time activity. And even if you do, you may get bored of it after some time. The only thing I can say is: even if something doesn't seem very interesting at first, give it a try anyway (as long as it doesn't require a huge upfront investment). You may end up liking the activity or you may end up with like-minded people. And the worst case scenario is, you have wasted some time.
I think majority of people suffer from not having a meaningful free time activity (amplified by the possibilities of internet). And I'm saying this without any data to back it up, so don't quote me on that.
Not having any personal projects is perfectly fine. Don't worry about it. Not everyone has to have their job as their hobby. Try other things (music, hiking, cooking, etc.). Try to find a hobby that makes you happy (if you don't already have one). That's way more important than having a public GitHub profile. And if a company decided not to hire you because of that, you basically dodged a bullet.

I have the same problem on mobile Firefox on Android. I'm using the default frontend as well. This was not happening a week ago (or maybe 10 days). Started recently.
