how does this make you feel

i like knowing i can control everything if i want to

Someone send them a PR to remove this notice, arguing that they don't need to keep around an embarrassing relic of a political hysteria from ~2016 or whatever.

Tell the git who wrote that to go fuck themselves

thanks, but i think i'll call my master branch a

main is shorter than master and just as clear, i don't mind this at all. also, why insist on a name that makes some people uncomfortable, when it costs you very little to change?

>>106367435
Main misses the meaning. Master refers to master copy. It's just an incorrect word to use.

>>106367435
Because people naturally rebel against bullshit changes done for propaganda purposes. It smacks of, "we will redefine language so you think the way we want you to think."
This right here is why the left keeps losing. And I say that as someone who's on the left and even sympathizes with the point you're making.
You've got to pick your battles. And in picking your battles, you absolutely shouldn't pick the battles that will make you lose in the long run. And this is the type of battle that is causing us to lose.

nobody is confused by this, find a new topic to argue about

>>106367435
It ain't broken then don't fix it. Name being shorter does not justify diverging from the convention. There is no technical merit for this. It only causes compatibility problems and makes it more confusing for new users. Therefore it shouldn't have been done.

>nobody is confused by this
I am therefore you are wrong.

>>106367475
just mark main as the default branch, anon, it's like three clicks on gitlab. or you could "battle" this out (read: waste company time). if this is your hobby project, nobody is forcing you, but i'd look at new projects using master with a bit of suspicion: either they are new to git and followed some old tutorial, or they are smelly autist that argue over inconsequential bullshit

>>106367533
You want to know why you keep losing politically?
This. This right here. This is why people voted for Trump.
People absolutely hate this shit and, when you rub it in their faces, it makes them want to distance themselves from you as far as they can.

>>106367435
It comes from an overall attitude of censoring and softening how we express ourselves and in turn how we think, which little by little is the most disastrous possible thing we could allow to happen

This would be if the people demanding changes like this were actually sincere, they're not and just want to demonstrate that they can effortlessly force you to do whatever they tell you

that's hill you are going to die on? the name of a git branch? have fun arguing

>>106367629
You're obviously a right wing false flagger.
Even if you're not, the result is effectively the same.
You're the one dying on this hill. Pushing this shit in people's faces makes them hate what you stand for even more, not less, and then they go and vote against it whenever there's an election and you cry to yourself about how everyone is a bigot.
Assuming, of course, that you're not just a false flagging retard.

>>106367435
Because when you give these worthless degenerates an inch they take a fucking mile.

biggest non issue in history

sucks that it's pretty much a lucky dip whether "git checkout master" will work in this project or not

>>106367914
both will work and one has outdated code, which you will notice 1h later

>>106367815
Exactly.
I don't have a problem with the principle.
But what I do have a problem with is their attitude of trying to shove it down everyone's throats. We didn't all agree on this. They did.
And they call that "democracy."

none of this invokes any sort of feeling from me. if i'm working on something and it's "main", i don't really care. i call it the "master" branch in my head. it's just what i'm used to. it's the same thing...

>>106367435
too young to know. early internet was all about tolerating shit. people would say 'you got raped' if you lost in a video game, and 'you got owned' you've been fucking owned, etc. the only relic that has survived is 'kill yourself' the rest is gone... from jump scares, gore scares, doxing, endless edgy behavior, to the modern age where its
>hey you sir, better rename your 'master' branch or you're getting in trouble
beyond peak faggotry

>>106367435
>please feel free and safe to express yourself everyone
>NOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT DONT USE MASTER

Whenever I see "main" while using git I become a bit sick to my stomach and have to do whatever I can to stop myself from vomiting. It works me into such a rage.
"Main" is unbridled white supremacy, harkening back to the days when Whites were the "main" race. Every time I see this I'm reminded that we live in a hopeless, racist society that absolutely will not be fixed until the proletariat overthrows its capitalist oppressors, the "main" class in society.

>how does this make you feel
It makes me feel smart, because clearly everyone else is stupid.
Besides, if the LGBTQ(tm) community can impose their values on others, then so can the BDSM community. ;)

>>106369584
"Main" also reminds me that "straight" is the "main" orientation and "cis" is the "main" gender status.
I can't believe this shit is allowed, it's completely non-inclusive
