A GUI for ansible. Could be useful someday
About the gun emoji being a toy:
As a philosophical aside, I can also see how any emoji choice is an influence on our expression, meaning it's also denying us some other emoji vocabulary. Let’s not forget that we need words even to express the worst ideas, otherwise we can't talk about them. We could also ask: is it even the Unicode Consortium’s role to attempt to influence the representation of violent or unethical ideas?
Limiting the possibility to express yourself is the way to avoid
About the platform representation of an emoji:
In this 2018 survey on emoji rendering, 710 Twitter users were shown how their tweets look on another platform. 18% of the participants declared that they would have “edited or not sent” a tweet featuring emoji, had they seen how that tweet appeared on other platforms.
More recently, this 2020 study on cross-platform emotional interpretation asked participants to pair emojis from Apple, Google, and Samsung with emotions. Emotion-emoji pairs weren’t always consistent, and emoji interpretations varied depending on the platform, suggesting miscommunication.
A git repository with a commit for every seven-character git commit shorthash (all 228 of them).

Singular they is the standard English gender neutral pronoun for any individual whose gender is unknown or unspecified.
For example (without nonbinary people concerns) I don't know the gender of _why.
Programming is based on mathematics in the way that cooking is based on chemistry. All of cooking is chemistry but you don’t have to know the periodic table to cook. Even if you suck at math, programming still might be your jam.

Lol, someone thought of it.

A story on _why. I never heard of they.
Empathy needed ! The humour is well done 👍
Put your RSS feed on Github.
Yeah it is great. I am more concerned about privacy, so I won't do it, but it looks fun :D
Comments are often highlighted discreetly. So the highlighters make the choice that comments are less relevant than code.
About the success/failure associated with the red/green colors, I admit that this association should not be made. I suppose Github uses these colors to match the red and green on the other parts of the website. I find blue/olive is pertinent as alternative. However green/red is associated to creation and destruction too. In this case, this is how I understand the colors. Thus the red and green colors are more pertinent than blue/olive.
