Both Top Gun and Star Wars battles have more to do with WWII air battles than modern air or plausible sci-fi space battles.

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.

The US used the American engine of it before to exert pressure.

Maybe we should start fucking with the F-35 in turn.

In the EU, you also have to be able to buy exactly as much as you need

As opposed to being disappeared without identification just based on your skin colour.

Yeah, we had them forever.

For me, the only practical consequence has been that when I forgot my driving licence at home, I could show my ID and the cop at the traffic stop could check my licence status.

Yeah I was going to say the same, "Berlin has its U-Bahn Museum, Stockholm boasts the Sparvagsmuseet, and London is home to the Transport Museum", Budapest has the frickin BKK running buses and trams as old as your grandpa.

Release the Epstein files, break up monopolies with executive orders, jail executives who are responsible for social murder and declassify all classified info that is only classified to cover the asses of billionaires.

Great for UTIs, or getting rid of them?

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if I got an UTI after jamming up my peehole.

 

So since Google and Meta banned political ads, the Hungarian government is trying different ways to get election ads to the people, since at this point they are going to lose and very possibly prosecuted for various crimes like embezzlement and child rape.

The booming disembodied voice is saying (my comments in parentheses):

Twenty years ago at Röszke (southern border town of Hungary), something happened that we can never forget. Hordes of migrants appeared on the border, not with good intentions, not with papers, not with requests, but with stones, sticks and violence. They didn't ask for admission, they tried to break through the fence. The defenders of our country opposed them, stopped those that didn't respect our laws, borders or our homeland. We didn't retreat, we defended Hungary, but the fight has not ended. Brussels is fining us 400 million forints daily because we don't want to let aliens in. But there are those that would give in to Brussels and would let migrants in. We see where this led in Western Europe...

The recording cuts away here.

We now live in security. But only one bad choice/election (the word means both in Hungarian), and there goes our peace, and our security as well. One bad choice/election, and we will also become and immigrant country. Get to know what we could lose on "rosszvalasztas.hu" (badchoice/election.hu).

 

Leaders such as Trump and Orbán could only be effectively opposed, she said, by ditching a “legalistic, technical, technocratic approach” in favor of “something for the electorate to be excited about”.

Immigrants, populism, border fences, electoral autocracy.

If you are interested about how and why Hungary is as it is, this is a documentary just released by Partizán, the most viewed Hungarian news outlet independent from the Hungarian government.

The subtitles are not autogenerated but hand-made by the news outlet.

The outlet has a decidedly leftist slant even by European standards, but are considered mainstream in Hungary.

 

So creating a new repo on GitHub, you get a set of getting started steps. They changed the default branchname to "main" from "master" due to its connotations with slavery.

When I create a new repo now, the initial getting started steps recommend creating a branch named "master" as opposed to "main" as it was a while ago.

It's especially weird since the line git branch -M master is completely unnecessary, since git init still sets you up with a "master" branch.

Disclaimer: I have a bunch of private repos, and my default branchnames are pretty much all "master".

Is this a recent change?

Edit: Mystery solved, my default branchname is "master". Thanks bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone !
