As always very few want to dig into the core issues. However a lot of people and companies spend time and effort on meaningless symbolic measures, things that do not matter but makes them look good and yields social acceptance. https://t.co/v7JkdlPXoZ

Coming from github, this feels like the equivalent of liking a post on facebook: it's just something to make themselves feel good and pretend they're doing something important. All the while profiting from ICE, empowering children concentration camps.https://t.co/CKGjm2p1kr

Long overdue in my opinion.

Huge progresses on demilitarizing ICT language: planned change of the 'master' term in #github. I did prefer the use of 'trunk' in CVS, also more consistent with the 'branch' term. https://t.co/kaJ7YkVQaa

I'll be changing the name of "master" branches in the @GitHub repos I control to "main" or similar next week, and I encourage you to do the same. https://t.co/7UeNvtY2Fy

I'm onboard with changing "master" to "main". There is exactly zero cost for me, and if there's any chance that the new language helps with racial problems in the future, then let's just do it. In a year we won't even remember the old language. https://t.co/UHKtmRKQSE
