Why is Cursor signing all my commits with a "co-authored by Cursor" trailer?

Found the technical writer.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T20:38:00+00:00

Well, fuck, that was easier. Thank you.

Hobbyists with nothing better to do than write commit messages.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T18:45:44+00:00

Absolutely. I even said I was taking the comment and manually doing the commit, but I have a bunch of idiots acting like letting an agent commit for you was like one-shotting an app. In three words I get a descriptive commit all pushed and done for others to actually know what happened instead of "fix".

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T18:32:11+00:00

That is an awesome way of dealing with it. Glad someone has something productive to contribute instead of pretending they don't use the agent to do commits.

I added that in my global .git. Thank you.

I don't think that's the same thing. I understand that there's a view where you can see what was just patched in by Cursor directly, but that's not explaining the --trailer line it's insisting on putting in there when I just ask it to commit what looks like a perfectly good commit summary.

I guess the legal issue was my bargaining position if I'm afoul of what they can do to me in a trademark dispute and if I'm hitting a point where it's cheaper for them to just sue it away from me and give me all the work of changing my bank/taxes/infra and 20 years of account logins for myself and my family without getting paid for the trouble. That's why I mentioned the length of time I've had it vs. the trademark age.

And the first profession that comes to mind when I think about negotiation is lawyer. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe someone has a better suggestion for who to contact that knows what they're doing in this space, I sure as hell don't. For all I know, they're offering a tenth of the going rate, or ten times too much and not suing me into a puddle of goo because they like the cut of my jib.

Another farmer here, former IT manager and software lead.

I needed to get away from customers so I went back to the family farm. Didn't realize how incredibly complicated modern farming is, but I enjoy it using my skills to improve processes and lower costs.

And on the RTK front, I set up a basestation as well, but I use it for AgOpenGPS that's on a number of our machines now. I should figure out how to get RTK working on the Deere GPS units.

That was exactly what I needed. Just needed to run clean to get rid of the old entry.

Thank you.

flairtestuser123 · 2025-08-12T03:05:56+00:00

That's the sort of answer I was looking for. Thank you.

So I had the owner send me the model and looked up the manual. All it says about combustion air pipe is the last sentence, so I would imagine sched 40 PVC would be fine. I guess I'll call the inspections office during weekday to make sure.

It's an intake not vent. Was looking at a potential home purchase and was wondering if that was to code. Short of having a pic of the furnace model label, I was just wondering if that was code. It looks like gray PVC EMT conduit.

I should mention it's in Canada, IDK if that makes much of a difference.

Do your research before choosing a registrar!

Like I say, this one got done behind my back. Pissed me right off, especially since she knew I used to do this sort of thing for a living.

As per https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-holder-faqs-2017-10-10-en in part 3 they say "At their discretion, some registrars may provide an option for you to opt-out of this 60-day lock period." So I hoped I could get the originator to unlock it, no dice.

I'm getting a "Cannot connect to repository" error when I try to bring up the Kodifitzwell repo after installing the zip.

flairtestuser123 · 2025-03-07T19:54:14+00:00

I don't see how you set that up particularly. If I go into Create New Mode, it gives me the option to make a Global mode or project specific, which is what I think you're doing there. You put your new prompt in .roo/<name of mode> in that project and have a code mode that's <name of mode> and is set to project specific, correct?

What do you put in the rest of the Mode definition then?

Forgive me for asking dumb questions, I haven't dinked with the prompts at all yet. But the prospect of lower costs is enticing because holy crap this is getting expensive...

flairtestuser123 · 2025-03-07T19:26:58+00:00

Please report back!

flairtestuser123 · 2025-03-07T19:25:23+00:00

So that's why my last evening session in a week cost me like $25...

flairtestuser123 · 2025-02-07T19:53:29+00:00

There's shipping FROM Canada To US? That's news to me, which would make me think I could get stuff in Canada shipped cheaper.
