I’ve always taken issue with this “master” v. “main” argument.

People think it’s “master” as in “master/slave”, but forked branches are not “slaves”.

Instead, it’s “master” as in “master/proxy”. The forked branches are altered copies of an original. We have remastered movies, music and games, and I’ve never seen anyone complain about the word in this context. Why should version control systems be any different?

Does anyone have an archive link for the original Wired article?

What’s uptalk?

Not much, what about you?

On US international layout, you can type it with alt-t.

I still would rather have the possibility of no banners, not even the first time I open the page.

Oh that’s entirely possible, even with the current law as it is. All the developer has to do is to stop using cookies for anything that is not related to the functionality of the website.

But of course, the adtech bros won’t give up on their precious tracking, so they’d rather try and shift the blame with an empty argument along the lines of “Hey, the bad EU law is forcing us to bother you.”

The law only concerns cookies that are not strictly necessary to provide a service.

So the cookie to remember that you denied all non-necessary cookies could be seen as necessary and thus not require your consent.

No, they’re not, and that is the whole point.

If you could die a hundred times and never lose any progress, Pharloom wouldn’t feel dangerous or unwelcoming.

This feeling you get when you’re running around an uncharted area is tied to the risk of being sent back, not the difficulty of the enemies in said area.

If you want to be really pedantic, it weighs a lot, but the upward buoyant force from Archimedes’ principle counteracts it completely, and then some.

I’ll repeat a comment I posted on another article.

It has been 14 years since Dark Souls and yet, the holy words still stand.

Git gud.

No, we’re left, please pay attention 🙃
