Not familiar enough with this particular project to know, but a quick glance at the commit log shows some overlap in commit authors, so I guess there is at least some level of sharing happening, probably just not through merges.

But being familiar with this kind of project in general, the branches will probably never be fully merged even in the future, just doesn’t make much sense because they are server software targeting very different versions of a game client. There are also two other branches, but they “only” diverged by like one or two thousand commits so far.

Meh, essentially it’s just writing “Telecommunicationsourcesurveillance” as a single word without the spaces to indicate it’s a singular thing being referred to (in this case the concept of directly listening on the source device before encryption happens). Might seem weird I guess, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

It means “telecommunication source surveillance”.

This particular Russian attack seems to have been retaliatory in nature, because right before it Ukraine attacked Russian territory including Moscow with hundreds of drones at the same time.

Reported on here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBAIalMNCAA
And here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NbxXJJJNZk

I figure the logic of escalation here is something like “If Ukraine can already make massive strikes on Moscow with self produced drones there isn’t much sense in keeping up the range restrictions on NATO equipment anymore”.

Must be some setting on your end, I’m getting offered translations on that page as well (stable release).

Two things I could think of, either you haven’t set it to always offer translations or your browser is set to simplified Chinese.

Another thing, you can select some text, right-click the selection, and there will be a translation option there. After you used that there will be a button for “translate the whole page” in the translation popup.

Oh also you can download more languages through the settings (general settings page, right below browser language).

I see you there random Krita user! Shill baby, shill!

Isn’t Karma essentially just the delta between upvotes and downvotes you get with some sort of weighting thrown in?

Because you can very much get that delta on here, it just isn’t visible in the default Lemmy interface. If you look at your account through an Mbin frontend for example you can see the “Reputation points” value in the sidebar: https://fedia.io/u/@wittycomputer@feddit.org

I’m gonna be real with you, I don’t know who or what that is and I deliberately chose to ignore the likely sarcasm, but feel free to enlighten me.

Like I agree it is a better message in the edit, but I fear a lot of people are not ready to hear that yet and still need to work through the original before coming around to this… Still stuck in denial and whatnot.

So… “man doesn’t exploit man”? Sounds good!

Tortoisegit is God awful, stuck in 1999.

If it works don’t fix it. Not that it’s my go-to.

you just indicated you enjoy reading man pages

I have indicated that I do it, not that I enjoy it. But yeah, I prefer it to skimming 20 verbose blog posts and outdated Stackoverflow questions to find one that is actually related to my specific use case. And often enough the search results will be online versions of the man pages anyway. Not quite sure why you are so hostile about it, I just said “read the docs” basically.

A ton, like the ones integrated in many editors/IDEs, GitHub Desktop, the one with the little turtle icon, forgot its name… Using gitk all the time. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against a GUI, just saying I had a much better learning experience with git once I started using the CLI and man pages instead of a GUI and random tutorials for them. It’s just a lot more accessible and better documented in my experience.

Just my 2¢ but disagree on this one. Where GUIs are usually powerful but inflexible, the CLI is both powerful and flexible. And getting into trouble usually means you have a print on the console that tells you exactly what happened and what concept or command to look up.

Matter of opinion and goals I guess, but if you want to understand git as a tool I recommend learning the CLI.

Read the policies yourself

I suggest reading this diff to the FAQs instead, paints a much clearer picture:

Basically removes all the language about not selling data and some about privacy. Down in the comments someone argues this is due to a narrow legal definition of that language in certain jurisdictions, but that couldn’t sound more like an empty excuse if they tried. Actually all the reactions from Mozilla I have seen on this so far sound like pure corpo PR bullshit to me.
