'The Market' is not capable of spontaneously deciding to make less profit for sure. What is capable of, and in fact the only thing it does is responding to demand. If the demand for highly polluting products like meat and fish fall, it will pivot to products that continue to see high demand.

This is why individual action does matter. You can't just offload all responsibility for making better choices onto the companies and act as though you are forced to consume what they produce, andnothing will change unless they change.

To be clear I'm not advocating for everyone to be vegan or anything like that. One plant based meal a week could have huge impact on the climate

If a foreign nation dropped a bomp on your house or rolled a tank down your street you might just start to side with the people saying they're going to get them back.

Israel's strategy can and will only lead to more Hamas support because they make no distinction between civilians and Hamas. They have never had a real plan to 'return hostages', only to wipe out the Palestinian people, because they perceive the idea of Palestinian identity to be an existential threat.

They're not doing that independently of the products and services they provide. Over consumption is a big issue and narratives like this shirk personally responsibility and promote the bystander effect.

'Xitter' is pronounced 'Shitter' and is common a playful joke

This is the exact metaphor I've been using when talking to people about the issue. Did we both get it from somewhere I can't remember, or is it just perfect?

Binary Large OBject

Basically any binary file, often objected to in open source repos because of the lack of source and 'openness'. See also the recent xz backdoor.

The goal is not to stop the people in the queue being attacked, its to stop someone boarding a plane with the means to hijack it

Fully anecdotal, but one of my 6th form rugby teammates went to watch a high school american football game, and said they were comparably as good as we were. Only difference is they filled a stadium and we'd get 3 dads on the sideline.

Junior teams for professional clubs do very much pay attention to school leagues and youth club rugby for players to 'scoop up'.

Seems like a purely cultural difference around going to watch lower level matches to me, rather than the player skill and career trajectory being different.

Not even Millennials see action against your employer as 'betrayal'. Company loyalty is dead, and this professor is out of touch.

I will never understand the idea that rebasing inherently causes problems. Rebasing gives a much cleaner history and reduces the number or commits with multiple parents, making it approximate a simple tree rather than a more complex graph.

The simple rule is branches that only you work on can be rebased, shared branches must be merged.
