Ask Me Anything

I'm feeling bold, brave even. Ask me anything using the Google Forms listed below and I'll try to answer it best I can. Sometimes I can get quite motivated to answer. Good answers will be enshrined here for all eternity. However, I reserve the right to not include answers because they're stupid or a bit too sensitive to answer for whatever reason. I will not give you my exact location. That'd be stupid. Besides, someone already asked.

• Why do you hate GitHub?
  Asked October 15th, 2024
  
  Two reasons. First of all, their 2FA transition disrupted my workflow too much. There was a page that I frequented on one of my repositories and it required sudo access for whatever reason. My password was automatically entered by one of my extensions and it just proceeded through. When it was announced that all accounts needed 2FA, when no other website had done this, they specifically wanted you to use your phone every time you wanted to access sudo mode. Naturally, this would disrupt my workflow too much and so I evaded this like hell, and even after they forced you too I found a way around it logged off for a couple months before I was convinced to get back on my account and thus use 2FA.
  
  That's not the main reason though, the second reason is that their code suggestion system is stupid. Although, after asking around, I've come to realize it's not just a GitHub problem, but a fundamental problem within Git. To make a edit on a Wikipedia page as an unconfirmed user, you just make the edit and then it's put on hold for an experienced editor to approve. To make an edit on a GitHub repository as a foreigner, you have to copy their repository entirely, make that one small change, and push that as a pull request. I've never understood why they did it that way, it just made everything more complicated and stupid.
  
  The system that should be in place is that it's like if you coded in place, except after making the edit it wouldn't make a whole new repository but instead push that as the pull request. If you wanted to put in multiple code changes on one pull request, you could save it as a code draft then push your selected code drafts as one pull request. Go revolutionarize coding in big projects and take that idea from me. Please credit me, though. That'd be nice.




• Why the name LegitSi, and why the preferred shorthand "legi"?
  Asked October 15th, 2024
  
  One day in late 2015 or early 2016, I came up with the name LegitSi. It materialized into my head as through it was divinely given, and it sounded cool at one point. That's not the interesting part. The interesting part came a couple months later when I got enough robux on my Roblox account. It was already taken by an account that joined a few months after me, but I hadn't come up with that name at the time. It is a namesniper to my best knowledge, although I met someone one day on Roblox that thought they knew me, and turns out, they simply met the namesniper. I don't remember that person's name. But back to when I was trying to change my name, I changed it to "EpicLegitSi". I don't remember where the "Epic" came from. I happened to pick this name right as I joined Discord in May 2016, and then in a community I was active in during 2017 this was frequently confused for someone else who was called Epic. I'll spare you the gory details, but it caused quite the headache and I entertained moving back to LegitSi, which eventually, I did, and don't regret it at all.
  
  Although, my Roblox account was still called EpicLegitSi, and I expressed my desire to rename it "LegitSiOfficial". A few days before I got the robux to rename it, one of these community members namesniped the name LegitSiOfficial, which was infuriating to me, but I realized "LegltSi" was still available, which I made the change to on November 25th, 2018. I was LegitSi on Discord for several months beforehand. If my goal was to stop ridicule, I failed at that, as another group of friends immediately ridiculed me calling me "leglt" and I couldn't get them to stop. But I associated EpicLegitSi with my cringy past and the name LegitSi stuck, primarily to get rid of that past. That's part of the reason why I'm not that eager to accept anyone misnaming me, because I'm tired of it. Speaking of which..
  
  My name is LegitSi, and I care what you think. So goes the words of Eminem.. maybe. But anyway, I do care about what others think about me and look up my name frequently on Discord. However, others called me "legit" and when looking it up, it was too frequently confused for the word "legit" and thus it became infuriating. Initially, I just wanted people to use "legitsi" until I became aware of another word to call me: "legi". It came about completely on accident in a discussion in late 2022 when someone called me that instead of "legit" or "legitsi". I liked it, and so decided to take it as my own. But of course, as I knew from my times with "leglt", people weren't going to stop using "legit" unless I explicitly told them not to, which I told them to stop using it. Also just like "leglt", that doesn't mean they'd stop.. it's a valiant effort though.




• What's the most precise location you are willing to share?
  Asked October 16th, 2024
  
  I absolutely despise that this is a valid question to ask. But anyway, in terms of what I am willing to share with the public, I currently reside in North Carolina. I will say nothing more than that outside of my close friend circle. This is one of the kind of things I can't really elaborate on, even though I'd like to, because I keep my real life and online life as separate as humanely possible. But then I don't do anything in real life and thus don't have a real personality.. whoops!
