I love how it recommends paying Netflix, Disney etc. but does not mention libraries at all.

Charges Against Texas 11-Year-Old

Um, what?

Put in Solitary Confinement

Um, WHAT?!

irked Palm Grove Elementary principal Myrta Garza so much with his requests, as well as questions about school dress code, that she called Brownsville Independent School District police.

WTF?

Cameron County prosecutors argued for charges of "terroristic threat."

How can this keep getting worse and more ridiculous at the same time? WHAT DO I DO WHEN ALLCAPS AREN'T ENOUGH?

ignoring Texas laws which require parental involvement before such interventions

Okay, I give up. Is rule of law no longer a thing? Like people aren't even pretending anymore?

"Wer was ändern will, ist Nazi." Brilliante Analyse, man merkt der Mann macht das beruflich.

Well, who would have thought that there would be cameras present?

The ship is expected to keep burning for weeks.

Actually, it might also sink and release up to 2,000 tons of heavy fuel oil (plus molten plastic, metals etc.) to the Wadden Sea which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an important biosphere reserve.

Das ist ja komisch. Es wurde uns doch versichert, dass es nur um die Bekämpfung von sexuellen Missbrauch von Kindern geht - wie kann das denn... Ach was soll's, ich hab nicht mal mehr Lust, zynische Kommentare zu verfassen. Wie kann man nur so dermaßen faktenfrei und alle Expert:innen ignorierend Politik machen? Wieso lassen wir uns das gefallen?

Battle for Wesnoth - a turn based tactics game in a fantasy setting. It's also available on Steam and itch.io. Coincidentally, version 1.18.0 was released yesterday.

Interessant, wie du von der Entscheidung zwischen ‘etwas sagen’ und (offensichtlich) ‘nichts sagen’ erzählst, und wie du das Eine davon gleich mit einer Prügelei gleichsetzt…

Ähm, die Typen haben sogar damit angegeben, dass sie gewalttätig sind - da ist es jetzt durchaus naheliegend, dass sie wieder Gewalt ausüben könnten, wenn ihnen widersprochen wird. Was ist daran "interessant"?

Wir wünschen uns eine Krankenversicherung für alle und dass die Rassisten sie auch brauchen <3

If you were born in 1983 or before, your birthday is closer to WWII than to today.

„Die Lage ist zu ernst für parteipolitische Spielchen“, mahnte Güler, die auch Mitglied im CDU-Bundesvorstand ist.

Welche Partei hatte noch gleich die Teilnahme an der Demo z.B. in Koblenz verweigert, weil da die Partei Die Linke mit aufgerufen hat?

Ähnliche Bedenken hat auch der CSU-Europaabgeordnete Markus Ferber. [...] Da nutze weder „ein Ampel-Bashing noch ein Unions-Bashing“.

Das Bashing anderer Parteien liegt der CSU natürlich völlig fern.

Dies Bündnis brauche allerdings auch eine Vision, „wofür man ist, nicht nur wogegen“. Unmissverständlich müsse sich die Bewegung gegen Islamismus, Antisemitismus und Muslimfeindlichkeit stellen, forderte sie.

Ist die Seite so eine Art Postillon?

Das ging fix: Bremer CDU-Chef Meyer-Heder tritt zurück

Ich finde, wir sollten da technologieoffen bleiben. Für die Blockchain sehe ich in dem Bereich große Chancen und es würde auch den Digitalisierungsstandort Deutschland voranbringen - bisher bieten andere Länder noch keine eFuels mit integrierter Blockchain an, wir könnten also endlich mal Vorreiter sein!

Bold of him to assume that companies would not just publish the trash - and that people would not watch it anyway.

It's Axel Springer. It's a tabloid corporation that is constantly pushing racist, anti-left and anti-environment agendas. They have written in their core values that they will "support the Jewish people", which seems like a good idea considering the role the German press played in the Holocaust. But they usually interpret this as "support everything the Israeli government does".

Vor allem: wenn sie schon bei öffentlich stattfindenden Dingen wie Lautsprecherdurchsagen so dreist lügen, was machen sie dann erst in SItuationen, in denen sie alleine mit den Bürger:innen sind? Und wie sicher muss man sich fühlen, dass einem nix passiert, dass man sich traut, wegen so einem Kleinkram so öffentlich zu lügen?

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,

that was a poem from a simpler time.

Boss makes a dollar, we don't make jack,

that's why we fight to take the means back!

Holy shit

Ben Gvir was known to have a portrait in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish extremist and Israeli-American mass murderer who massacred 29 Palestinian Muslim worshipers and wounded 125 others in the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in Hebron.

In December 2021, Ben-Gvir was investigated after a video surfaced of him pulling a handgun on Arab security guards during a parking dispute in the underground garage of the Expo Tel Aviv conference center. The guards asked Ben-Gvir to move his vehicle as he was parked in a prohibited space. He then drew a pistol and brandished it at the guards.

In early October 2023, following the arrest of 5 ultra-Orthodox Heredi Jews for spitting at Christians and outside churches, Ben-Gvir said it was "not a criminal case" following arrests.[60] Prior to entering politics, he defended Jews spitting at Christians as "an ancient Jewish custom".

Am Besten schaffen wir gleich die STVO ab, das ist ja auch nur ein weiterer Vorschriftskatalog für den Alltag.

I disagree, hard.

I disagree with the general conclusion - I think it's very easy to understand*: each repo has a graph of commits. Each commit includes the diff and metadata (like parent commits). There is a difference between you repo seeing the state of another repo (fetch) and copying commits from another repo into your repo (merge; pull is just a combination of fetch and pull). Tags are pointers to specific commits, branches are pointers to specific commits that get updated when you add a child commit to this commit. That's a rather small set of very clear concepts for such a complex problem.

I also disagree with a lot of the reasoning. Like "If a commit has the same content but a different parent, it’s NOT the same commit" is not an "alien concept". When I apply the same change to different parents, I end up with different versions. Which would be kinda bad for a Version Control System.

"This in turn means that you need to be comfortable and fluent in a branching many-worlds cosmology" - yes, if you need to handle different versions, you need to switch between them. That's the complexity of what you're doing, not the tool. And I like that Git is not trying to hide things that I need to know to understand what's happening.

"distinguish between changes and snapshots that have the same intent and content but which are completely non-interchangeable and imply entirely different flows of historical events" How do you even end up in a situation like that? Anyway, sounds like you should be able to merge them without conflicts, if they are in fact completely interchangeable?

"The natural mental model is that names denote global identity." Why should another repo care, which names I use? How would you even synchronize naming across different repos without adding complexity, e.g. if two devs created a branch "experimental" or "playground". Why on earth should they be treated as the same branch?

"Git uses the cached remote content, but that’s likely out of date" I actually agree that this can lead to some errors and confusion. But automation exists - you can just fetch every x minutes.

"Branches aren't quite branches, they're more like little bookmark go-karts." A dev describing what basically is just a pointer in this way leads to the suspicion that it might not be Git's mental model that is alien.

"My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone's dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true" Maybe don't do stupid stuff you don't understand? We know what fetch is, we know what merge is. Pull is basically fetch & merge.

""Pull" presents the illusion that you can just ask Git to make everything okay for you" Just... what? The rest of the sentence doesn't really fix this error in expectations.
