    Women in America (other countries too I’m sure) have been (and still are to some extent) treated like objects or property of a man. It’s barely been over 100 years (1910) since they finally earned their right to vote. It wasn’t until the 60s that no-fault divorce was allowed, as well as women being able to have their own bank accounts.

    Even the Charleston Heston movie Soylent Green perpetuated the property stereotypes by calling all women in the movie “furniture”.

    We’re still fighting some of these same battles today (no-fault divorce seems to be on the chopping block, and abortion is banned again).

    So we “1st-world” Americans as a country still have a long way to go to bringing women (and other non-white male groups) to genuine equality.

    Awww! I begged my mom for my own volcano when I was a kid. She even said that if I saved up my allowance, I could have one a couple of weeks from when I asked.

    Sadly, she feigned no memory of said promise after those couple of weeks. And my dreams of having a pet volcano were dashed.

    😢







  • I’m probably going to get downvoted to Hell and back, but someone’s gotta say it: that’s a git problem, not Windows.

    First of all, I agree that case-insensitive file systems suck. It makes things inconsistent, especially from a development standpoint.

    But, everyone has known that Windows (and macOS) use case insensitive file systems. At least for Windows, it always has been that way.

    Git was written in Linux, which uses a case sensitive file system. So it’s no surprise that its internals use case insensitive storage. Someone ported it over to Windows, and I’m sure they knew about the file system differences. They could’ve taken that into account for file systems that are case insensitive, but chose not to do anything to safe guard Windows users.

    But until the day that somebody fixes Git, everybody who is not using case sensitive file systems needs to care more about how they name things (and make sure their team does too). Because fuck everyone else, right?
