The throwback logo was a nice touch.

    Seems more stable than their old foundation of ignoreing bugs until they become so built in they become features lol /s

    We call it a "banana product" in DE because it ripens after it has been delivered to customers.

    No worries. They’ll just ship a development version to your machine and see what happens. That should be a good enough test.

    What is "main branch" in this context? Main branch of what?

    In software development the main branch is the version which the clients update to.

    Before pushing updates to the main branch, they should be forked to a test branch.

    Microsoft is pushing out updates without properly testing them, resulting in a lot of avoidable bugs.

    No, the main branch should be at HEAD, and releases ought to be a few commits back, when it was tested and considered stable enough. Maybe that’s the joke, they’re doing it at unstable points.

    Main branch is a common choice for the root fork of a git development repository. It was master, but it is a poor choice when respecting freed men from slavery.

    From now on this might as well be Debian as they've adopted the most libertarian rule about LLMs you could vote for. (Basically "do whatever the fuck you want on our code"). Which immediately caused core maintainers with a spine to quit on the spot.

    Seemed related to the meme given Debian is the base for a majority of user-friendly distros you'd give to former Windows user.

    Interestingly the whole vote was pretty rigged, as a total ban would've required a 3:1 supermajority while the new rule only required a simple majority. And since AI bros piled on that one while everyone else scattered across the other options…

    Future codebases gonna be a disaster, almost no one will actually know all of the code anymore.

    I don't want to bring up old wounds - but it was the same with the init system vote - it was set up in a way that only systemd could possibly win.

    AI was the goal from the outset, the voting was just theatre.

    I uploaded it to ImageBB because Imgur was not available for everyone apparently, so this is kinda weird. However, here is an Imgur version for you:
