@csilverman I've always loved to track my versions with dates. I use a changelog format like this: version (semver): date (yyyy-mm-dd), see example:
github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mas…
But I do not tag versions with dates, they are just helping me to realize when exactly was the release made.

The image displays a weather widget with a light blue background and rounded corners. In the top left corner, the number "12" is shown, indicating the date, followed by "Sat" for Saturday. The weather icon features a cloud with raindrops and a partially visible sun, suggesting partly cloudy conditions with rain. The temperature is displayed as "27°" for the current temperature and "20°" for the low temperature. The overall design is simple and modern, with a clean layout.

The video features a person in a domestic setting, likely a living room, with a ceiling fan visible in the background. The individual is wearing a dark-colored t-shirt and appears to be in motion, possibly reacting to something. The person's hair is being tossed around, suggesting a sudden movement or action. The lighting is bright, typical of indoor environments.
At the top of the video, there is text overlaid that reads: "corporations aren't your friend" mfs the second Steam gives them a refund (they're required to by Australian law). This text is in a bold, white font, making it stand out against the background.
The video captures a moment of reaction, possibly in response to the text's content, which discusses corporate behavior and legal requirements regarding refunds. The person's body language and the motion of their hair suggest a strong emotional response to the situation described in the text.

According to Paul Warburg, the new shift in warfare to drones will redefine what it is to be militarily dominant in the world & #geopolitics for the next century.
With the shift from heavy & expensive equipment to cheap disposable units with data & software, the relative power of the big industrial countries stands to diminish.
I think this is another reason USA doesn’t want #Ukraine to win. With their drones, Ukraine stands to become a major player in global #armstrade, rivalling USA 🤔

Socialists consider abstention in von der Leyen no-confidence vote
The socialists have had enough: they do not want to bring down the EU executive for at least two reasons. One is the need to have a fully operational EU at a time of great uncertainty and instability. The other is not wanting to vote with the right.

Geneva Convention
Article 49 - Deportations, transfers, evacuations
ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-…
The ONLY way we are going to fight this now is to back our arguments up with links to legal texts etc, That way should any authority try and silence us, we simply quote legally binding international conventions.
It will also help any defence lawyers with our cases.
If people can't get on the streets to protest, we can fight in the Hague, there are enough of us, more than enough evidence and multiple bodies arguing what is going on is Genocide.
We can no longer use the Self defense argument, too many people have died.
If you mugged me in the street, I would not be permitted to come round your house, massacre you WHOLE family, blow your house up and argue this is self defence, even an argument of proportionate would NOT work in a court of law.
I think under Islamic shiria law , ther IS eye for an eye, from my understanding and reading about application the punishment fits the crime, e.g you break someones leg, the court orders your leg to be broken. (hence the name)
I am NOT lawyer.
