@manlycoffee if you create the repo on github itself and ask it to create the intial commit it will use main. If you use gitlab it will use master, if you create it with `git init` on mac or linux or windows it will be master.
GitHub is the only one who changes it to main and really in my expiernce no one every starts the repo on github itself unless they are a amateur without much programming expiernce. Most use the git client and it still uses master. So the vast majority of repos i see are still on master, even new ones.
I myself always go with master because its the git default therefore the closest thing I can see to a standard, so i will make sure as a rule all repos in my org must be "master" until git changes it as the standard and then we will follow whatever the industry standard is according to git tool.
@chris Its hard.. i have a dev team and we talked about that and at least from what im told its non-trivial if you want to keep all your followers, im not even sure if its possible without coding.
I do agree with your conclusion, that what Trump did is against my own personal interpretation of the constitution. But one must admit there is nuance and an interpretation where it is entirely in line with the constitution.
It has long been held that children of "alien enemies" are not allowed citizenship due to the wording in the constitution that says "subject to the jurisdiction there of".
Now the reason I agree with you is I think it would be a huge leap, and factually incorrect, to try to label all illegal immigrants as "enemies". in fact making such a statement is laughable to me. But no doubt that is the angle being taken here and it does have some basis in reality, albeit absurdly.
Do you really think people use loaded language in an attempt to be objective and honest? OF course they are prisoners and not hostages by any objective reading. But not a single person who used the word "hostage" did so because they that that was the most honest word to use, they did it because its the word that sells their agenda the best, thats it, thats all it ever is.
One of the greatest strengths and biggest flaws of the human race is our arrogance. It leads us to great works, but it also leaves us confident in our errors.
If one can achieve the arrogance to believe in your own abilities while remaining in doubt of our certainties we can achieve so much more.
@freemo Sigh...I admit, I engaged with you because I checked out your profile and at least based on what I read there in terms of your world views, I thought I was clearly misunderstanding your point. That's because context is important as is information about the person and what they support.
That's why I am looking at what Musk did as a Nazi salute and what Harris did as not. Who the person is, what they say, who they support, all is important framing as I previously said.
I'm not really interested in waxing pedantic about whether his Hitlergruร was historically accurate or not. My beliefs about Musk weren't formed out of a singular event but out of an established track record for what he says, what he does, and what he supports. This event didn't deliver to me any new information it just further cemented an already communicated narrative about who he is.
Anyway, because of your profile I chose to assume you're not just a troll (as some folks have reached out and suggested to me). To be honest, I have no idea, we've never crossed paths before. Usually folks with left-leaning profiles and 31K followers on Mastodon aren't just trolls but hey, I'm flexible.
Maybe you are and if so, nice job getting me to waste my time. If I didn't have your profile to go off of I would have blocked you ages ago because minus that info this all just reads like your average run-of-the-mill trolling with a bit of nazi-apologism thrown in for seasoning. If it's not then...well color me confused as it seems like you're ignoring a plethora of information on Musk to arrive at this point with any positive beliefs about his character and pedantry on this particular topic isn't a particularly good look for anyone.
And if you are a troll, before you throw the flag on this reply as ad hominem since that's usually next in the play book when we get to this stage, I'm not attacking your character, I'm questioning it. Because this all reads as trying to defend someone like Musk and trying to draw false equivalence and as someone else already stated, that's pretty low.
If that's all there is here and you're just trolling then cool cool, I'll just go ahead and block you and go on with my life. Either way I think I'm likely done with replying to you. You have yourself a great day.
> That's why I am looking at what Musk did as a Nazi salute and what Harris did as not. Who the person is, what they say, who they support, all is important framing as I previously said.
The odd thing is, so am I. LEt me explain my logic:
Of the two Musk is infinitely more likely to be a Nazi than HArris. He may just be nazi like in a some weak ways, maybe he is full on nazi, hard to gauge just how far he is down that scale, but its far enough.
So why dont I think he gave a NAzi salute. Cause he isnt that kind of Dumb.. Trump is tht kind of dumb, if Trump did it i wouldn't even question it. But Musk is snake-smart. He is smart enough to know even if he is a raging Nazi and whats to see the white race destroy all others, he STILL didnt make a purposeful Nazi solute because he has enough brain cells to know that would be death.
Now to be clear I dont think Harris was giving a Nazi solute either (though she is a raging fascist, just not of the Nazi variety). That was just there because hers **looks** far more like a nazi salute, so it is put as a point of absurdity and comparison.
Am I atroll.. I am a trtoll in the sense that i dont give the slightest fuck what someone thinks about me. So I put no effort into "Coming across" one way or another. I know damn well 99% of the small minded people will see what I said, assume I'm a troll and block me. I want that as it gets the toxic people to filter themselves for me, its very intentional. Then the 1% who are left, like you, bother to talk long enough to understand and then realize all it was is that i wasnt putting on airs, it wasnt (*like you probably assumed) some sort of (anti)virtue signaling. @RegGuy@raymondlesley
Why did you try to find the one example of faked/cherry picked image, rather than the thousands of archived photos showing Hitler giving the salute that look nothing like this?
Here is what a no-cherry picked video looks like. Here we have a video that was **not** made in relation to musk that shows thousands of germans during hitlers time as well as hitler himself giving the nazi salute over and over and over again at different points in history to show how ti evolved over time.
Do you notice how not one single example in this video resembles Musks salute, not one? So why did you pick the obviously manipulated example that doesnt show reality?
To be clear I am **not** claiming tghat this man doesnt behave in some ways that may align with nazi ideals (such as xenophobia and supporting a racist like trump are nazi-like, to some degree.
I wouldnt even go so far as to say he isnt a racist, maybe he is, probably he is.
All I am saying is there is no doubt in my mind (or those who are experts in this) that what he did did not represent a Nazi salute and was not intended to resemble one. Any resemblance is by accident.
That much is clear, its not a Nazi salute, full stop. Nothing about that statement however suggests he isnt a nazi-like person, and by that i mean, willing to support racists and racist policy and fascism, cause clearly he does.
If people said "Musk is supporting a racist and a fascist" I would have been cheering you on going "hell yea he does".. the moment you get tot he absurdity of trying to claim he intentionally did a Nazi salute, thats when you totally loose me.
I dont think the liberals realize over exaggerating everything and turning into the most absurd exaggeration of itself is **not** doing anyone any favors, all its doing is discrediting you from an otherwise very real and important discussion.
Also do I need to remind you, this isnt a personal theory. The jewish representative of the anti defamation league, someone who has clearly shown he doesnt like Musk, has explicitly stated that while this is an "awkward" gesture it did not look like a Nazi salute.
I think im going to take a literal Jewish expert on identifying nazi's as the authority on this one.
Its also a faked and/or cherry picked video. Here is a video showing thousands of people giving hte salute to hitler as well as hitler giving he saolute multiple times throughout history. As can clearly be seen the chestpump was **never** a part of the salute in a single instance.
So now we are saying hitler and all germans werent even giving the Nazi salute, which resemble's Harris's salute not Musks?
