Stop and identify yourself, apparently.
Ah, HN downvoting neutral comments again and I don't like it, but I have a policy of not upvoting anything out of pity.
I doubt that a person who can post about it on the internet did actually lose everything. Most likely he leads quite a luxurious life: he is a wealthy (compared to other parts of the world) American, most likely wrote his story from his MacBook and has a place to live. A lot of people can only dream about a life like his. His expectations is what makes him believe that he "lost everything".
P.S. Clicked on the link after writing this post. Yeah, the guy actually wrote it from his MacBook.
Why didn't you call them out on their bullshit?
It would be nice if you could provide sources for these claims.
Obligatory reminder that you won't be able to boil a frog by slowly turning the heat up, it would jump out. It would be nice if people stopped using this common misconception as a metaphor.
Anonymous communication doesn't count as "social interactions". Imageboards are where the hikikomori culture thrives. I doubt many would remain hikkis if they were deprived of internet access.
"Gomik" means literally "faggot", the plural is "gomiki".
The suffix "-s" was being used in pre-revolutionary Russia as a way to make your speech sound more polite. Etymologically, "-s" is short for "sir". Nowadays, "-s" is used (very rarely) to imitate speech of somebody from those times, mostly for its humorous effect.
Given the above, "GoMix" sounds very ridiculous in Russian, something like "faggot, sir".
What email provider do you use?
For me DuckDuckGo works pretty well. If I can't find something there, I always try to use Google, to no avail. It proves that DDG is as good as Google at least for my searches.
> one can still use Google Search completely anonymously
If you try to use it via Tor, you'll have to solve CAPTCHAs, not for every search, but still pretty often. It's annoying and not very anonymous-friendly. Sure, you can use Google Search anonymously, but Google does enough to discourage you doing it.
What is different?
My point is, if you don't write meaningful commit messages for some commits, you probably don't need any commit messages for those commits at all. It reduces noise for people who read your `git log`. If you make a commit and then immediately revert it, instead of "foo", it's better to write at least "tried ...; didn't work".
> Nowhere does the author say that commit messages are meaningless
He doesn't. I say it. His commit messages are meaningless. To understand what's going on, you need to read his diffs, not commit messages. In his workflow, only reverts and merges provide any context, and for them git creates meaningful commit messages automatically.
Have you tried the open-source Brave browser?
Its GUI is created with Muon (which is a fork of Electron). The browser doesn't seem very slow, at least to me.
Also, Firefox have used XUL for a long time to create its interface. XUL is not much different from what Electron is: XML-like markup to design your interface and JS to manipulate it.

In zsh it's just `ssh a@a "rm -- ${(q)A}"`.
It's not true for software. There are plenty of people who can use some applications, but can't write any application, even as simple as a helloworld.
Just want to mention that the anecdote about a frog slowly being boiled alive has no foundation in reality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog.
Not funny, but weird.
