A note on the Chrome Plugin “Fast Delete Messages” for deleting all Facebook Messenger Messages without deleting the conversations

 in Applications  tagged Chat / Chrome / Chromium / Conversation / Delete All / facebook / message / Messenger / Plugin by

Recently, we used the “Fast Delete Messages” on Chromium browser to delete all messages of a Facebook Messenger account without deleting the chats themselves.

To our surprise, we noticed two observations:

  1. The plugin worked extremely fast!
    We thought it would take a few minutes (as it would delete messages one by one), but it finished in less than a few seconds in reality.
  2. After the plugin finished, the list of conversations was empty!
    Initially, we thought a bug was in the plugin, and it had deleted all conversations.
    Following some research, it appeared that the conversations were not deleted, but Messenger hid them!
    We verified that the conversations were hidden as whenever anyone would send a message in a conversation or group chat, the conversation would appear, and it would work normally.

Git: Perform a stash addition using a custom/meaningful message

 in Programming  tagged git / list / message / save / stash by

Did you ever wonder “Is there more to git stash?”, we did!
We wanted to see if there is a way to manually set the stash message to something meaningful instead of the automated message that derives from the last commit.

Fortunately, there is the command git stash save "Meaningful message"; which allows you to add new changes in your stash and at the same time use a custom message.

By using the git stash save "custom message"; command you will be enhancing the results of the git stash list; command as it will contain more useful information for you.

Example

$ git status;
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
 (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
 (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

modified: me

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
$ git stash save "custom message";
Saved working directory and index state On master: your message here
$ git stash list 
stash@{0}: On master: custom message
$ git stash show
 me | 1 +
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
