Kind of hilarious since that’s why they originally invaded Ukraine… “to protect the russian minority”

I don’t know what a master recording is. Googled it and it seems to be related to vinyl or something. So yeah, kind of hard for me to wrap my head around that, but definitely an interesting outlook.

We’re talking about computing here. At least the post does. I guess you could be a QA engineer or something else, but this discussion is mostly a thing with developers.

That’s not how the terms entered computing though. We always used master in opposition of one or multiple slaves. It implies that one component has control and orders the other one around.

I’m a developer. I use main/release/dev for new projects, because it just sounds better and is more intuitive to me honestly. “Master” doesn’t make much sense. Like what’s so “master” about a “master branch”? It’s just the main branch everything gets merged into. It doesn’t “control” branches. There’s no “master/slave” relationship there. So again, “master” was never really intuitive to me.

Old projects don’t get relabeled, they stay master, cause relabeling the main branch could cause potential problems. That’s my two cents.

Isn’t it funny how liberals will let this slide just because they don’t agree with his positions? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a conservative, nor a liberal, I’m a communist, and no, I do not agree with Richard Medhurst or his positions on the Russia - Ukraine war, but I think it’s quite worrisome that we’re arresting people on “terrorism” for saying bullshit we don’t like. 20 years ago a terrorism charge meant you’d be caught building a bomb, or providing a terrorist organisation with material support, nowadays it constitutes spreading Russian propaganda, or sharing some opinions that some bad guys might also have (or be interpreted as such), and that the government has decided is punishable. And yes, his opinions do suck.

Just wait for the regime in the UK to change, wait for the far-right brexit geezers that have been rioting to get in power, and we’ll see many more people (including journalists and activists) get arrested under the suspicion of “terrorism” just for saying things the current/future regime doesn’t like. You are creating some very dangerous instruments for future governments to use and abuse. It’s scary how much trust the civil society is thereby putting in all future governments that will have these tools at their disposal.

Funny how this gets plastered all over the news as tens of thousands have been drowning in the Mediterranean for years now without anyone paying much attention.

It’s as if they never really cared about the hostages but just use them as a bargaining chip to continue their war on palestinians.

Democracy in America in a nutshell.

As a German, why are our warships on the other side of the Globe?

EDIT: People are downvoting this but haven’t provided a reason as to why the german navy is in fucking asia?

But Israel has a divine right to occupy and rape

Who doesn’t love a “democracy” founded on genocide, am I right?

It never was. An apartheid is not a democracy.

Remember the Al Shifa hospital Hamas bunker HQ? It’s been almost a year since Israel took control of it and we still haven’t seen one shred of evidence. That’s how much credibility they have.

Good. Because it is a genocide. Fuck Zionism

Out with these shitty settlers out of the West Bank.

Being against Israel isn’t antisemitic. Zionism is a nationalist movement. Nationalism sucks. You’re welcome.

Meanwhile their politicians are freeing these rapists, and discussing in the Knesset (basically their parliament) if rape is an appropriate punishment. Their TV channels are discussing the same thing publicly, and bringing IDF soldiers on the shows to defend raping prisoners. I don’t understand how a society can become so disgustingly genocidal. Nazi shit.

You’re seriously asking why the apartheid ethnostate founded on a history of genocidal land grabs would support this?

Or are you saying they democratically voted for free speech, and this judgement did not follow that?

Exactly what I’m saying. Germany is expanding it’s undemocratic arsenal of laws to suppress anything that doesn’t fit its political and foreign policy agenda.
