“git cherry-pick” - alternate version of “git log” that shows only the commits that support your argument

No no no! Java is the scientist! You're thinking of Java's Script

Windows 9 isn't the first time Microsoft skipped a version number - In the early days, they skipped over MS-UNO and went straight to MS-DOS!

So #FollowFriday. Much alternative. Wow.

#Article13 has lurched back into life due to a last minute Franco-German deal:

https://juliareda.eu/2019/02/article-13-worse/

Any profit-making site over 3 years old will have to install YouTube-style automatic copyright filters on all uploads.

In practice, they would have to outsource it to Google etc. Big tech would choose what we see, even on tiny indie sites.

Please tell your MEPs today, in your own words, that this is not acceptable. They vote on this next Monday:

WHATS LONGER THAN BEING LONG?

DOUBLE WORD

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

"Mastodon is crumbling and it's creator is to blame"

I read about a quarter of the article but they lost me with "Being queer isn't a hobby, it's a political identity" I thought it was just a regular identity

Also the parts I was reading was criticizing Mastodon for being barren on cybre.space and nobody talks about Trump on Mastodon, like, did y'all ever consider that maybe we all know what's going on but we don't want to talk about it?
