@thomasfuchs yeah.... we think it's like fashion, people who see it may appreciate it in passing but it's only really worth the effort if it also makes us happy to do

@thomasfuchs since clearly it isn't going to be rewarded in conventional ways, heh sigh

I think it's a haiku and they wanted to stretch the sillable count so they made up a word. It's a mood thing, a-la jabberwocky.

@thomasfuchs appears to have been silently replaced within the last ~10 minutes, i just opened the page again to grab a screenshot and there's a new diagram where that one was

Great, now because of you lot they deleted timn and the world will never learn. The irony of changing the docs about versioning flows without documenting the change is delicious. Almost as delicious as the fact that archive.org exists.

@thomasfuchs Does the existence of pictures like this indicate how most people never try to read and understand charts?
When this exists, they will never learn that it's worth making the effort

@thomasfuchs They changed the image on the site, but it’s still available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260216165612/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-to-github/3-components-of-github-flow
I find this absolutely insulting. The fact that Microsoft deems it appropriate to publish this utter slop tells me volumes about what they think of their readers.
It’s also heartbreaking. I learned so much from learn.microsoft.com way back when.
