Oh no don't worry. They feel entitled also when they're not paying.
Not the same people. I’d expect to get way more out of talking to one of those sets of people than the other

What exactly else did DEI initiatives do besides try to get people hired for their race instead of their competence?
In theory they try to get people hired for their competence rather than their network. A widely-cited anecdotal example of this reportedly working well is the Rooney Rule: https://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs06/news/story?id=2750645
This thread also has a lot of anecdotal examples of failure modes of 'diverse slate' rules, though, such as people who have already decided who to hire still interviewing women candidates just to appease the rule, thus wasting everyone's time.

“Master“ implies that the contents is authoritative somehow, as in “master copy” (meaning 13 in https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/master#Noun). “Main” doesn’t have that connotation.
When one is willing to discard that connotation, then, if anything, “default” would be a more accurate name, because the fact that it is selected by default in certain situations is really the only technical difference compared to other branches.
> "Main" doesn't have that connotation.
It has had the connotation of "mainline", a synonym for "trunk", in version control since before Git existed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_(version_control)
Presumably this was originally due to the connotation of the railroad mainline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_line_(railway)

or is it that there are less bootcamps teaching OS native app UI development as there are JS front end library usage?
Nah, the supply follows demand. There are fewer native app bootcamps because that's not what people want to hire or learn.
By offering a subset of their capabilities, with key features implemented in a multi-process architecture, using plenty of C++ and Rust written modules.
Additionally the terminal has to use WebGL to achieve usable performance.

Which is exactly the point—the UI is written in HTML/CSS, not the native platform language, and the high-performance modules are written in C++ and Rust, also not the native platform language.
I don't know anything about Sabatini or his past.
In criminal law we have the concept of restitution, of paying your debt to society. There are no second chances in the court of public opinion, no punishment severe enough, no act of restitution sincere enough.
Should we have locked Kevin Mitnick out of society forever? Danny Trejo? Some people can turn it around and do good things in the world.
There are no second chances in the court of public opinion, no punishment severe enough, no act of restitution sincere enough.
This just isn't true. Look into how Dan Harmon gave a genuine apology and accounting for his wrongdoing and was forgiven. Can you point to Sabatini doing anything that even arguably rises to that level of contrition?

I personally don't trust any of my businesses to run on it after this, and have been advising business partners and people I advise to steer clear of it. I know it's not much, but it's been mid to high 6 figures in revenue i've had shifted elsewhere. Having a business possibly be crippled won't pass any sort of risk management, and clearly shows they don't rank highly on any sort of organizational maturity scale.
If learning that Cloudflare took action against literal, self-identified Nazis—who praise Hitler, deny the Holocaust, and drove a car into a crowd and killed a woman—made you worried that Cloudflare might take action against you, you're really telling on yourself.

> In an era where the internet is becoming increasingly important, it's crucial that governments ensure that companies like Cloudflare are not able to use their power to limit access to information or censor speech
Cloudflare should be seen as an ISP. An ISP is neutral and doesn't care about what content flows through its network. My only gripe is Cloudflare has to /store/ content on its servers, so it's not really an ISP in the traditional sense.
I strongly disagree with the analogy between CDNs and ISPs. ISPs operate on the user-side, they have no business filtering what the user sees. CDNs operate on the server-side, they have the power and responsibility to decide who they want to do business with, and to not provide services to harmful customers—I'm sure we agree ISPs shouldn't provide services to harmful customers either (spam, malware, phishing, etc).

This is so overwrought. We're not talking about Embrace, Extend, Extinguish here, where Microsoft wanted to exploit their OS monopoly to bend the Internet to its will. Cloudflare's products are popular because they solve real problems; Cloudflare is not responsible for the popularity of outsourcing SSL termination, the difficulty of implementing SSL properly is, and if Cloudflare ceased operating tomorrow there would still be vendors and customers for SSL termination aplenty.

Haha that’s cute. Here in china the GFW now simply routes the IPs to blackhole. False positive by virtual host or CDN you ask? They don’t care :)
That's what domain fronting is for, and even though the GFW attempts to filter by SNI, genetic algorithms like Geneva are able to find workarounds: https://geneva.cs.umd.edu/papers/foci21.pdf
