It was never about the name itself, but about breaking a convention for extremely dubious reasons.

On the plus side, forcing people to support alternative branch names surely has led to better software support for a core Git feature.

You sound like a slave owner, ngl

I am not pro slavery but I will not free my chattel slaves. People just break with this tradition for extremely dubious reasons.

Listen to yourself!

Edit: I was thinking about putting "/s" at the end but thought it was obvious enough. I was wrong

Why do I keep getting this comment? Maybe I should call myself Poe in the future

I think on the Fediverse (or just Lemmy?) I've seen more people who'd post your comment non-ironically. Or maybe they're not serious either (but they'd have to be really committed to the bit).

I had a conversation recently where someone said they weren't serious after several levels of comments that were downvoted into oblivion. I try to make myself understood in the second (or third) level of comments or, as in this case, in an edit

Sb got offended for no reason, then companies decided to get public approval points out of it; nothing new or notable. Seriously, tf is the point of overanalyzing it like there's nothing better to do?
