If an app is open source why does it matter who controls it?

If an app is in Git, then you have a fully copy locally, so why does it matter who hosts it?

Git is and was absolutely decentralised by nature. Everyone can have their competely independent copy of the copy and can send diffs/patches as emails, text files, whatever.

There’s no concept of a central server in Git. GitHub is not the center of git. There is no Center.

Then because most young devs couldn’t properly understand git and we’re too lazy to learn, you all adopted a pattern called “rebasing” which has now become gits default. It plays into the idea that GitHub is the single source of truth when it need not be.

Anyway there’s an off topic git rant for you.

I don’t think so

UK IT dev here. When I started working in the field back in 2000ish it was perfectly fine for IT staff to pop to the pub. Did for many years. Then in my 20s it became normal to have drinks after work rather than during work. Then when marriage etc came along, it became neither.

He is chief negotiator between Ukraine and Russia in a war. Finland alone is spending 8.5bn a year on this war.

He owns SpaceX and Starlink satellites. Military systems. He controls the entire American Government budget. He can shutdown American resistance to Russia by apparently emailing any government department. I’m sure to Russia that’s worth more than Tesla alone. He can pay welfare in crypto, forcing the poor to adopt it once he’s gotten in at the bottom for cheap. He can systematically and openly destroy all business rivals and government regulators.

I’m sure banks are terrified of him. He’s also the richest person in the world. You’re telling me the bank isn’t lending money to the richest man in the world?

Who cares? Certainly not Musk. He used Tesla to buy Twitter to be a proxy to the president where he has gutted NASA, tax officials and forced business contracts with 50 of so companies worth literally hundreds of billions. He doesn’t give a shit about Tesla it’s an old stepping stone.

I had a 6700k until December just gone. For Linux it can do everything and anything. It’s totally usable! I only gave mine up because of CS2.

That thick line of chocolate on a Mars bar is called the cock vein.

It’s ridiculous. The UK government cannot control the security features applied to people in other countries. Only its own country.

As a result of this, the American government can now, through iCloud servers decrypt and read all the data from all the phones used by UK government staff. You’ve lost more than you possibly gained.

I would be the murderer and he would be securing our alibi.

This is worse than doing nothing. At this point you’re just listing the things you should have done 3 years ago.

Certainly weird that Biden provided arms to Ukraine but prevented them from using them in Russian territory. It does seem like all the US has done is surrender Ukraine slowly.

That’s because there’s no actual intention to protect Ukraine.

Giving 50% of all future profits is quite harsh but the first 50% until 750bn+ and NATO membership actually quite a good deal for both sides.

For context I’m a Brit.

I would support a king, if I had a good one. I would hold a man not as equal but as above me, and have him experience and control the country. I would fight and die for that person.

But only if I got something back as an equal. My King should work tirelessly to improve the lives of their subjects.

Their majesty should humble capitalists and oppressors and keep them in check.

King Charles does cut some tape, do some humanitarian PR but frankly it’s clear that people like Bezos run rough shot over him and that’s essentially why I lose my respect.

Mate, have you seen the statistics?

You’re saying that in 90% of cases the wrong dog breed was identified?
