The master in master branch is, I’d assume, from the idea of Master copy which refers to the original of something, eg a recording, drawing, etc. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/master-copy
I’m not hugely tied to the word, and things change … So meh.
Mission successful? … he infiltrated pretty darn deep
Thanks, I looked for a proper share link as editing on mobile is a PITA.
There are cheaper options with rather fewer features. Link updated from below, thanks! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006953014233.html
We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …

I think that’s a good idea, my solution is to mute group chats and check them when I’m free, but it’s not ideal for the reasons you’ve mentioned.
In whatsapp there’s only the option to mute the chat.
In discord there’s granular level of control that allows me to mute everything but direct notifications (@d00ery).

In the Discworld series there are some parodied Australian wizards in The Last Continent book.
Interesting, I have a almost kidney shaped memory foam pillow from IKEA UK.
I’m not aware of the big chunky square pillows.
It means “If I remember correctly” - iirc
Someone asked Microsoft AI to create a meme, and that’s basically what it outputted. I’ll try and find the link.
A stroke is a restriction of oxygen to the brain, or what people do to cats.
I think it struck you.
